Tagline: You are who you eat
Plot: A cowardly soldier (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 (Carlyle) of an unfortunate expedition shows up at the outpost, it isn't long before he reveals himself to be a murderous madman with a taste for human flesh. An offbeat, blackly comic and extremely bloody effort from English director Bird (PRIEST).

 It never becomes outright dark comedy or silly but there are some classic one liners in there. Ravenous is an amazing movie that should be on any movie collectors rack. It's a new classic, and needs to be seen by all these people making what they think "horror" movies are suppose to be. It's actually enjoyable to watch.--Sonny Fernandez (Diabolical-Dominion.com)
Somewhat engrossing horror/thriller has some tasty black comedy, a top-notch cast and a bold idea. The only drawback here is it tends to be leisurely paced and has a semi-bloated mid-section before getting down in the violently exciting finale. ... It's easy to see why this never found an audience in theatres because it's bloody, grisly and definitely not for all tastes.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
Absolutely fascinating. Ravenous held me transfixed for its entire run--at at least one point in the movie, my jaw was hanging open. The film was intelligently written, with interesting philosophical overtones and plot twists that completely surprised me.  --Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)

| This movie's lighting really set the mood and its scenery was amazing, it really put me in aw. Ravenous the movie about cannibals in the west during the Pre Civil war period really hit me hard but I loved every moment of it. -- (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
