- Synopsis
- A cowardly American soldier (Guy Pearce) is stationed at an isolated military outpost with a bunch of misfits in Sierra Nevada following the Mexican-American War in 1847. When a dazed survivor (Robert Carlyle) of an unfortunate mountain expedition shows up at the outpost, it isnt long before he reveals himself to be a murderous madman with a taste for human flesh. RAVENOUS is an offbeat, blackly comic, and extremely bloody effort from director Antonia Bird (PRIEST).

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Has all the ingredients for a cult film success but most definitely is not for everyone. It's stylish, sophisticated, venturesome--to say the least"
-
"For about half its length, 'Ravenous' is a fairly effective scare picture, with a laugh or two. Then it just goes sour and pretentious"
-
"Clever in the way it avoids most of the cliches of the vampire movie by using cannibalism, and most of the cliches of the cannibal movie by using vampirism. It serves both dishes with new sauces"
-
"I'd like to recommend it, but it's too silly. On the plus side, it's ravishingly well directed by Antonia Bird"
-
"It's not really serious, not especially funny, and not noticeably scary"
