Ravenous

Though it definitely requires a strong stomach, Ravenous may be the best cannibal tragicomedy ever made.

At its best when it’s least overtly allegorical--and fortunately that’s most of the time.

Ravenous is misbegotten in multiple ways. It isn’t scary enough to be an effective horror movie, or funny enough to be much of a comedy... But say this for Ravenous: It isn’t generic.

A potentially strong cast makes its way in deadly earnest through material that's often better suited to a Monty Python skit.

Essentially approaches its subject seriously, but does take stabs both at horror and grotesque comedy, neither with much success.

You don't want to see this bilge. Director Milcho Manchevski, who was fired in midproduction, is the only one with cause to celebrate.

Do not be concerned if laughter trickles out of the scary parts or boredom creeps into the funny parts; this is to be expected.

The creators thought they were making dark comedy about American expansionism and ever increasing appetites. What they thought was over the top was actually right on the spot. A beautiful and harsh tale of America and it's equal parts monstrous greed and nobility. Great cast and amazing score. I can't make it through the movie without wanting to eat a steak though.

Absolutely wonderful film. The acting is great and the story is awesome. The more I watch this film the more I love it. Now if only they would release it on Bluray already

Ravenous is an instant classic! Kinda crazy horror adventure cannibalistic survival western with a damn awesome sens of criticism on the actual capitalist society. Story is just awesome as the actor was, Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle was almost unforgettable as the leads, with a special mention to Neal McDonough for his crazy soldier part. The original score is damn addictive and one of the most original score ever, Michael Nyman and Damon Albarn have totally captured the essence of the story. The tense and suspense are mind-blowing and of course the gore sequence was funny as hell. Cinematography is also really beautiful and have a natural chemistry with the superb production design. Can't believe the poor rating around this masterpiece, critics have to return watching films for the simple-minded they are, I strongly suggest films on their level as 2 Fast 2 Furious or Transformers.

This is an underated gem of a film, with a brilliant soundtrack by Nyman and Albarn. It's original and creative approach constantly surprises, it never resorts to the cliche conventions of the horror genre, original directing and fantastic acting by Carlisle an d Pearce.

This was ok I suppose. It wasn't the best film by a long way but it also wasn't the worst. It was an above-average drama/thriller. It wasn't too exciting and the comedy seemed misplaced. It kept my attention but didn't set me alive. It is good but probably only worth sitting through once.
