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). [More]

Reviews for Ravenous
The plot begins brazenly, but the story becomes more conventional (though no less bloody) as it goes along.
...one of those rare, genuinely subversive (of Hollywood values) films, like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls or Eating Raoul
The one movie of 1999 that looks and feels like nothing you've seen before.
If you take it with a truckload of salt you may just find something of merit.
