Ravenous

Eating Humans for Fun Season Special

RAVENOUS (1999) is a strange movie. Set somewhere between civil war drama and brutal survival horror. But above all, Ravenous is underrated. Director Antonia Bird has created a surprising horror work that is not easy to categorize.

The film is set during the American Civil War and revolves around Captain John Boyd, who joins a supposedly idyllic fort in the Rocky Mountains. But when an injured stranger named Colqhoun appears at the fort and reports about a group of cannibals, the horror begins.

Ravenous cleverly plays with human abysses. Brutal, primitive but also somewhat poetic. Wonderfully played by Guy Pearce, David Arquette and Jeffrey Jones, among others, brilliantly equipped and provided with a thrilling soundtrack.

Delicatessen, Feed Me, Green Ineferno, Little Shop or Horrors, and Ravenous are part of our season special “Eating Humans for Fun.”
