Summary: I was sickened, yet amused
Review: When I first rented this movie I expected a scary movie. I was in for a surprise. The opening sceen said Eat Me. Throught the film it used comic yet disterbing scenes. The plot was well done and the acting was great. See this movie, but leave the kids somewhere else.

Summary: An Appetite Well Served
Review: This movie is just superb!With its bone chilling tale of Boyd (Guy Pearce) as a cowardly general who helped and betrayed his squad at the same time is shipped off to California. He arrives only to find his co-workers are a bunch of freaks and weirdoes. Then one night a drifter (Robert Carlyle) is found half dead near there base. He survives only to tell them that two other people are trapped in a cave somewhere in the open and there both hungry cannibals!! Boyd is later informed about a tale of cannibalism that when one eats the flesh of another he absorbs his strength and ability. When they arrive at the cave they are all betrayed by the stranger and find out that he killed and ate them all! And he has no regrets about doing the same to them. A few notes on this amazing movie: 1. Guy Pearce is too underrated and is one of my favourite actors and definitely one of the best out there and delivers once again an amazing performance in this motion picture. 2. Robert Carlyle also gives an amazing performance as an intelligent twisted villain. 3. AMAZING ending 4. For other amazing Guy Pearce performances go see L.A. Confidential and Memento

Summary: New Cult Classic
Review: A masterpiece that eludes classification. Its genre is a hodge-podge mixture of horror, western, period, comedy, thriller. It's a man's journey to find courage. It's a disection and exploration of humanity's darkest side. And it's shockingly funny in both dialogue and the unexpected. Its last scene is haunting, gruesome, and will leave a bad taste in your mouth, underscored by a hypnotic soundtrack that will only enhance the unwholesome atomsphere. You desperately want a bath after this thing is over and a plate of fresh vegetables ... and you won't know who to trust.

Summary: A Wondrous Achievement in Every Field.
Review: "Ravenous" proved that Cannibalism can be Funny. ("Cannibal, the Musical" Tried and failed, "Hannibal" Succeeded, but came after "Ravenous") It is an Ingeniously Constructed, Visually Arresting Film, which is also Criminally Underrated. Robert Carlyle seems to be having the time of his life playing the role of Ives, the Mysterious Scotsman. His performance is one of my Favourites of All Time. Every Look, every Gesture, every Line of Dialogue; Everything he does is Hysterical, Scary and Genius all at the same time. Guy Pierce plays Boyd, our Reluctant Hero, and he is Perfect for the role. Though most of the time I was Rooting for Ives, I couldn't wait to see Boyd give Ives what was coming to him. Their final showdown is a "Face Off" worth getting Excited about. The supporting cast are also wonderful. Jeffrey Jones, David Arquette and John Spencer are Standouts. (Jeremy Davis just Recycles his "Saving Private Ryan" performance) The film looks Stunning. Antonia Bird has filled to film with beauty to contrast its Ugly topic. The Landscape varies from Dense Green Forests to Snow Covered Mountains, and on this DVD edition, the Wide screen format captures it in all its Glory. Antonia (who, like Guy Pierce, happens to be a Vegetarian) makes the film work for both Mainstream and Art house audiences and she makes it both Fitfully Funny and Hysterically Horrifying.

Summary: Amazing Movie
Review: This is the only movie that I've seen with graphic fight scenes with dueling banjo music playing happily in the background. The offset of scenery and music made this move have an eerie sense. You could tell what was going to happen, just not when. I was on the edge of my seat. It's not a very violent move, and it has no nudity or bad language. The "R" rating is much to harsh. I recommend this movie to everyone, although you have to have an open mind to thoroughly enjoy this movie.

Summary: A splendid juxtaposition of horror and psychic introspection
Review: Ravenous is rich in its material as a horror movie. Black comedy, it isn't. Though, it has got all the makings of a successful commercial movie, there is something about it which makes it stand apart in the way it has been picturised. There is that gut feeling rising within you when you see Carlyle for the first time. The wet-oak sensation drawn into your sensibilities by the superb music and the interestingly stoic faces of the movie's two lead character adds up to the smell of the film which makes this a nerve-wracking experience. Cannibalism is the central theme of the movie and the scenes are remorselessly shrewd and accurate. At the end of so many murders and gut-eating scenes, there is a tinge of irony in the last few scenes where a man is cooked up in a thorough way, and his abdomen and liver are eaten in a most amicable fashion. Though I personally thought that Cannibalism should have been given a more serious study rather than a mere depiction, I couldn't help myself feeling a sick sensation for two days. Splendid movie, but for those who take things with a pinch of salt... this time maybe the idea of edible human flesh!

Summary: A cozy winter watch.
Review: I absolutely love this movie,in fact its one of my favorites of all time.The story of a cowardly capt.who survives the Mexican,American war by playing dead, all the while surrounded by more meat and carnage than a good ol'Sawyer family reunion, Texas chainsaw massacre style.What he doesn't know is the real horrors just about to begin.With an amazing musical score that I actually had to special order in my small city,if it doesn't move and thrill you and you call yourself a genre fan of anykind at all, go back to Scream,and I know what you did last summer.Close your eyes and listen when Boyd,the cowardly capt. is stuck in a make shift shelter with the body of a dead soldier and if you dont get deja-vu your probably one of those people who would call me creepy. See it or be eaten.

Summary: A Sure Classic!
Review: I first rented this film with a group of friends. The box described it as a cross between The Thing and another horror film. But, when after watching it, we were very disappointed. The music was very strange, the film a little gross, seemed that it was a straight to video release. Then, I managed to get hold of the soundtrack which I now think is very good, although weird too! (4 stars). So, seeing Ravenous for £12, I bought it (perhaps too much money to spend) but watching it the second time around I really began to appreciate the film. Definately not for everyone, but the film has a lot of good elements in it. Horror and comedy are just two. (Especially the naming of the stew!!) I'd certainly recommend this film to anyone with an eye for non-mainstream market. Four Stars! Just watch it more than once!

Summary: TWISTED!!
Review: This movie was real interesting and different than anything i've ever seen in my life! The acting was great and I loved the score, the eerie music set the mood at all times, specially in the wilderness. I thought Carlyle did a great job along w/the other actors. The only thing that kept me from giving it a 5 was that it took too long to engage the viewer into the action but otherwise it's a good movie. Go rent it!
