Pleasantly greusome horror movie about cannibalism. Of the several movies I've seen that deal with that subject, this one is probably the best. not for all tastes, no pun intended.... Full review

A brilliant mix of comedy and horror. I laughed more than I do at some comedies, while also being incredibly disturbed by the subject matter. Robert Carlyle is terrifically evil while managing to create a unique character, and Guy Pearce is... Full review

Definitelt not for everyone. A cult film if there ever was one, Ravenous gets moving early on, and doesn't stop until the credits roll. Incredible acting performances, primarily from Robert Carlyle (definitely Oscar Worthy) and Jeffery Jones.... Full review

I love this movie. It's so far off the beaten track. Never did I expect what I got when I saw this one. The stunning visuals are almost overshadowed by the myriad plot twists and surprises. The cave scene, when the... Full review

The scenery is gorgeous with picturesque snow covered fir trees and a Yultide winter white setting that dazzles.
Guy Pearce is somewhat restricted by his bland character; he is limited to resorting to eye rolls, various interpretations of unsure, unwilling and understated horror on his constantly bloodied face.

Friday March 19, 1999 Macabre doesn't begin to describe the sly, grisly Grand Guignol horror of "Ravenous," which has all the ingredients for a cult film success but most definitely is not for everyone.
Ravenous" offers further assurance that the handsome Pearce and the wiry Carlyle are not about to let themselves be typecast.

Give Ravenous credit for commercial fearlessness. It has a pitifully narrow demographic: fans of western horror comedies about cannibalism. Frightful yuck-fests about flesh-eating do have a niche, from the disturbing yet darkly funny Living Dead movies to the bent lunacy... ... Full Article
