Also, Zoe will take the wheel away from Wash when things get tough, because, "Men can't do anything right, let a woman do it!" Kayleigh will inexplicably be able to use the Force with no training. Shepherd Book will die in the first episode when an alliance officer kneels on his neck.

Haven't seen Bone Tomahawk yet, it looks intimidatingly intense haha. The scene with the savage reaching in the guys mouth in the trailer gave me a serious case of the willies, and I am far from squeamish. Anything overly gratuitous? I mean Brawl was violent to the point of cringe at parts but nothing that made me feel genuinely uncomfortable like that Bone Tomahawk trailer did.
Oh my, yes. It is a western thriller at heart, with wonderful dialogue and chemistry between the characters, but there are definitely body horror elements in a couple gnarly scenes, so fair warning. For a little personal perspective, films with little to no gore like The Bad Seed (1956) or Psycho (1960) still scare the F out of me, but like many favorites, I've seen them and BT many times over. Then there are films that shook me and made me feel like a shower after like Henry: PoaSK or Snowtown... I recognize great art when I see it, but dang.
Yeah, Henry was just violence porn with no theme or message. Being properly unnerved shouldn't involve feeling like you've committed some foul sin. I feel the same way about a lot of movies though, I don't see the appeal in movies that are designed to be nauseatingly offensive for the sake of it. That said, to each their own, but my personal belief is most "fans" of whatever genre you'd call that care more about appearing edgy than they do about the actual material. "Hey, look at the weird shit I watch, isn't it weird? Watch me watch it!" To be clear, I'm not a square, I'm down with Cronenberg and the Coen Bros and so on, but I know straight up filth when I see it.

Huge DC fanboi present. What a career arc! Least fav likely being Cosmopolis, all the way to either Dead Ringers (talk about horrifying) or The Fly. And the Coens are just a given. "Least fav" is prob The Ladykillers (still 6/10) to an easy personal top 20, if not 10, NCfOM. Would rank Anton Chigurh up there with the most terrifying villains ever (book and/or film).
If you liked the flowery yet deliberate dialogue of the Coens' True Grit, you'll love Bone Tomahawk. Tell you what, I'd be happy to give it another watch and report back exact timestamps to avert your eyes.
Haha I'll be fine, it's not like that. I have killed things. Just wasn't sure about the tone of the film. And definitely loved the subtle dialogue in True Grit... when Rooster said, "That was the position they took in New Mexico" it about had me dying, if you recall the scene where he tells the girl the story of his days robbing banks
