Review of Ravenous (1999) by Luke B — 12 Jul 2009
Bizarre in it's tone and execution, Ravenous is either an original gem or an interesting mess. I really think my love of B-Movies helped me appreciate some of the stranger aspects of this film. Most obvious is the music, it's not exactly horror or thriller material, but with an odd subject such as cannibalism it kind of suits the tone.
Pearce and Carlyle are fantastic, grasping hold of their broken distorted characters and engaging in a wide range of tactics to both pull you in and then push you away. The twists aren't impossible to see coming, but they are well placed and enjoyable to watch unfold.
It's a film I'd only recommend to people that enjoy "different" cinema.
