Writer, screenwriter, DOP and occasional film critic S. Craig Zahler launched his debut feature film, Bone Tomahawk, in 2015. In this terrifying yet original western horror, a group of people (led by a sheriff, in a performance by Kurt Russell) leaves on a searching party for a woman that has been kidnapped by a tribe of Indian cannibals. Their endeavour slowly turns into a full-blown carnage, in a representation that bridges the gap between the western films of John Ford and the horror movies of Eli Roth. It's a combination that is at least daring, which brings together the styles of two different filmmakers that weren't contemporary. Not in the least, it's also a film which announces Zahler as a very interesting director.

He loves cats, like most humans do, he's an amateur ornithologist and he'd much rather see a good 80s horror film than an awarded hollywoodian drama.
