Ravenous

Summary: Dark film, cool features
Review: I'm fastly becoming a Jeffry Jones (Devil's Advocate, Beetlejuice) fan. This is his best performance. Robert Carlysle also had me on the edge of my seat at times. One thing that makes this a good film instead a truly excellent one is the poor luck of the filmmakers. This was supposed to be much like "The Thing". The plot being that a few people got stuck in the mountains during a snow storm and couldn't find food. The problem is, it was filmed during El Nino, and the snow didn't come until the last few days of shooting. So the whole time you're wondering why these people got stuck, and why they can't find any food, since it's a green, albeit muddy forest. The performances overshadow this plot iconsistancy however and create a creepy web of paranoia which threatens to be their undoing. The extras are cool, with a commentary track including Jeffrey Jones and the director, a commentary track by Robert Carlysle (I don't recommend this one, it doesn't even start until 20 minutes into the movie), deleted scenes, and even an easter egg. Can you find trail of the Donner part that leads to the jerky treats?

Summary: Ravenous is one off the best movies that I have ever seen!
Review: Ravenous is a wonderful tale of basic human instinct and what happens when the ability to reason is destroyed. The acting in this movie was as great as the story itself, and it will remain a treasure for a very long time.

Summary: Absolutely Incredible!
Review: Oh, my god, my eyes were riveted to the screen for the entire movie. This is an absolutely fascinating look at desire, life, and the will to survive. I can't wait to see it again. Pearce was apprpriately moody, and Robert Carlyle was absolutly mesmerizing as Ives/Colqhoun. Perfect for Halloween. I'll be recommending this film to everyone I know.

Summary: It was fun
Review: Was it a groun breaking film. No. But it was a great deal of fun.

It was interesting how the film made steak look revolting but a stew look absolutely appetizing.

Summary: Where's Dessert ?
Review: I must confess that it was the first cannibalistic movie that actually made "the stuff" being cooked in the kettle rather delicious and appealing. If anything it resembled good old fashioned beef and vegetable stew like the kind grandma used to make. If any viewer out there remembers the movie "Alive" from several years ago, the "food" looked like dried out sliced lunch meat or dried beef jerky. Ravenous made you wonder where dessert was; the ending was not all that satisfying.The plot was a bit thin; Not enough spice if you will. Some of the twists and turns were typical of almost any other horror, black comedy/ drama I have seen. The ingredients were all there as far as the acting performances. David Arquette's whacked out role fit him perfectly. The contents of the movie is graphic and gross; It is not a movie that I would exactly call "cutting edge" or "innovative-work of art". Ravenous is more of a tongue in cheek black comedy/ horror perfect for the Halloween season. I saw it once and I don't think I'll be seeing it again now that my appetite for morbid curiosity has been fulfilled regarding Ravenous...

Summary: 1 star for Guy Pearce and 1 star for Robert Carlyle
Review: I am a big fan of both Pearce and Carlyle and thought they were both very good in this disgusting movie. I didn't even want to rent it. or see it in the theater...why would i want to watch a movie about cannibals? my husband was the one who picked this one.. i would never take that responsibility. The whole premise of this movie is disturbing, and i don't think that eating human flesh could make one anymore virile than chicken or steak. (robert carlyle said something like that). this was a sick film, althought the ending was a fitting one. better off watching l.a. confidential or Full monty if you want to see a good film with both these fine actors.

Summary: I am obsessed with this film!
Review: I have already rented this 3 times on DVD, it's due back again today & I just can't bear to part with it. Everytime I love a film, no one else has seen it/does horribly in box office. This now replaces Near Dark as my favorite movie. And yes I'm buying the soundtrack too! Here's to licking you!

Summary: A confused and pathetic attempt at black humour.
Review: What a load of hogwash. A real waste of 95 minutes. It's loud, garish, badly portrayed and in real poor taste.

Summary: Beautiful & Disturbing
Review: A great film - I would go so far as to say a work of art for much of it, especially the first half. Definitely leaves one with a weird feeling after it's done. I took my dog out for a walk in the dark afterwards, and couldn't wait to get back into the house ( I'm not easily spooked). Music, scenery, and acting are all excellent. Carlyle is a wonderment.
