A man is scalped, stripped naked, then held upside down, butt facing the camera, and the tribal men proceed to chop and hack at his genitals with a bone tomahawk. He is still alive as they chop and hack, initially there is no visible impact, it is just behind what we can see, we just see his butt as the axe falls just beyond it.

Bone Tomahawk hints at the cannibal tribe's gruesome deeds throughout the film, but absolutely nothing compares to the atrocity that Zahler puts on full display during the film's most infamous scene. As a frightened Nick is pulled out of his cage by a group of cannibals, Sherriff Hunt tries in vein to escape from his cell.
