The characters and the story are both interesting plays on both the vampire and cannibal film genres, and the soundtrack is still one of my personal favorites. It packs a surprising attention to detail and some unexpected wit. Also, Ravenous does snow right: instead of a dreamy winter wonderland, as so many other icy settings so often convey, the cold in this movie is bleak and oppressive. See this movie!

A great film.

Acting is great and no actor has done bad. Plot is decent, although could do with some fine-tuning. Cannibalism is well presented, with good old black humor which R.Carlyle really does it well. The end left me dissatisfied. Soundtrack exceeded expectations for this kind of movie. Dilemma between morality and survival (or likelihood greed) throughout 2nd half of the movie was OK. One really annoying thing was blood sometimes, being too bright red.

all nyman-scored cannibal movies rule.

Great score, and fine acting.

Totally genre-bending: black comedy, thriller, horror, historical...

This is a fantastic bit of pitch-black comedy that knows how to weave a tale. Performances here are pretty good, the score is off-the-wall amazing, and the crew manages to pull off the historical setting while still keeping its sense of fun. Thankfully, the comedy of the film manages to accentuate (rather than harm) its real strength: the story's penchant for honest-to-God unexpected twists and turns.

a different kind of movie, kinda of a gore-fest

Ravenous has this gritty, relentless charm about it. It's so dark and twisted, but it never takes itself too seriously. All the actors do an amazing job, especially Carlyle and Davies. The music is haunting and perfect, and the scenery is gorgeous. Easily my favorite cannibal movie.

Good Movie

While my memory of this movie is pretty hazy, I remember some decent cinematography, an interesting story and above all else a soundtrack that's really the star.

Ravenous combines good character actors and my favorite genre, the understated supernatural thriller. It's so underrated and little known, and I wish it wasn't. If you're squeamish, avoid it, but then you're also missing out on a dark, but amusing movie.

Incredibly underrated horror gem.

A fun film with a horrific topic matter handled with humour and wit. The soundtrack is really unique and stands out as notable for how bizarre yet fitting it is.

Decent little thriller with a good cast and fun script.

"Find strength in the lord not cannibalism." That is too the theme; either that or all Christian's are man-eaters (ooh ambiguity, lol). Taking inspiration from a wide variety of films, Ravenous somehow ends up being both entirely and superbly original whilst drenching itself in a distrubed creepiness that keeps building upon itself in an over-the-top, yet awesome way. P.S: The score reminded me a lot of The Oregon Trail which brought an out-of-place childhood warmth to the picture...

A pretty cool movie with great atmosphere throughout the entire thing. Great cast and great suspense.

I gathered later that this was supposed to be really really funny. I missed that - it just came off as really really bad.

If "rollicking" can describe a movie about cannibalism and the Mexican-American War, this is the movie that deserves it. An awesome banjo score underscores the irony and scant humor, which keeps a violent, gory film just this side of vomit-inducing.

Some movies just give you a feeling that you just can find with images or music or words alone. This movie is one that is perfectly crafted to give you a creepy, unsettling vibe that stays with you. Between the precise use of blood and gore paired with the one of the best soundtracks and you have a great movie with impeccable style. Amazing.
