This movie wasn't scary as much as it was creepy and errey. I saw this in the theaters back then and I have to be honest, I had no idea how brilliant you could make a horror movie until I saw this one.
FUNNY?!?! ..This was funny?! I actually don't remember (watched it a few times; 5-7 years ago; so i barely remember what transpired)
HOWEVER---I remember this being an amazing movie; and I had a massive crush on Guy Pierce in this movie...Very amazing movie...i WILL watch it for the THIRD; time this month
CHOOSE: either BE dinner. or HAVE dinner. If you choose to HAVE dinner you will be served steak and mashed potatoes but the steak will be...... OVERCOOKED MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is an absolute masterpiece, and anyone who loves cinema should try and see it. Although it's better not to see the trailer, especially since the trailer ruins the second part of the film by showing us something(or someone) But if you can read this then it's too late for that!
"Ravenous" is one of the best horror movies of the 90s. I think it's a cult classic, since it was a flop in its day. It's smart, has great characters in it, and has a great, dreadful (and yet darkly humorous) atmosphere throughout it. Robert Carlyle is great in it, particularly, although everybody does good work. Well worth your time if you've not seen it.
The casting and characterization in this movie is amazing. Despite the annoying "hollywood guy" voiceover there's one line here that didn't get into the movie: "we come for a reason." Each man has his vice in this film, each one his reason to be there. On the DVD you learn some of their cut backstories and it's amazing, since in the movie you ONLY see Boyd's backstory. As you can tell Hart is my favourite character but Reich's backstory is (as you can guess) bad ass.
Ive only just seen the last half of it, and may be that's why I thought is was so good, but I can say its likely very underrated. Its blatantly bizarre but that's why its so good. The characters are well written and acted aside from the accents, they're suggestively realistic psychologically. Its not a vampire movie but somehow pisses all over the whole genre.
The original soundtrack (or SCORE I should say) was composed by Michael Nyman and Damon Albarn and is amazing!!! It is a quirky and addictive soundtrack. I encourage people to give it a listen. They really put the button on this movie with the soundtrack.
@nomad806 just another brit.american movies trump urs so do germans ,french ,canada ,japan ,and even crazy austrailia.ur best horror and you can look it up on any list on the internet is the fucking wicker man [sing along] you aint got shit.u guys got great music. but you cant make a movie to save ur ass. oh and yes before you pull this card yes i am american.so i dont need some stupid fucking come back about punctuation or spelling.
tbh trailer doesn't have the "trigger", in fact movie is fucking awesome, i remember watched once on tv, and been trying to find it online, but didnt knew name of movie, so was searching for cannibals, but fuck, i found it!!!!!!!!!!! yesss baby, come to papa lol anyway, good movie 5/5
This should be required viewing for any film students wanting to make horror movies with quirky, disturbed characters driving the plotline. These are the guys I'd never want to be stuck with at a camp like that, because look what happens to them, but still...the sheer brilliance of this movie makes me kind of have a death wish. I think I might enjoy the antics at Fort Spencer, have some bourbon and Knox stew, and not even care that I was either turning into, or about to be eaten by, a Wendigo.
Love the music and social isolation in this movie. If you live up North, where it snows, you'll understand the social isolation bit, even if you live in a city.
i remember watching this movie as a kid years and years ago, only just remembering to look it up now! i've always wondered what it was called to hire it out. from what i remember it was shit scary and kept me awake at night ... we'll soon see when i can track it down :)
Comedy/horror? It's a movie about eating people according to a native American legend - there was nothing funny in this masterpiece at all. I thought Guy Pearce did a great job of sounding American despite being an Aussie.
This trailer really makes it look like it's a comedy, but when I watched it, it was kind of scary. Sometimes it had its moments when it was funny, but it seemed more freaky to me than hilarious. I loved the soundtrack too; most of it was composed by Damon Albarn - you know, the lead singer of the Gorillaz and Blur. Another composer contributed to the soundtrack, but Albarn's stuff is pretty distinct. Anyway, freaky movie!
This trailer is really weird. I saw this movie one day a while back just skimming channels and I saw a bunch of guys with mustaches, so I was sold. It is a dark comedy because I did laugh at the music placement (guys being chased or killed with upbeat little ditties in the back) and the bad guy's lines.
The trailer though, it's just as weird as the movie. The serious voice narrator, the upbeat music, and the intense parts of the film. Just an odd set of combination to advertise it.
@jamezjamiezpro oh i understood it. even as i sold it to people as a videostore clerk, yes i played sega shadowrun years before, also knew of xmen and wolverine/sabetooth ie: wendigo hulk.
i also know of american indian legends, its true there is something to eating your enemies flesh/soul.
not really. people survive by eating dead meat, so whats so weird about this?
you take your life from what has died, that is just how this existance is. vegetarians do as well, because we all know plants are alive, just not meat. meat and vegetation is both equally organic. same shit, different philosophies. plants may be easier to reknew, but all carbon/ogranic life is alive, so what? eat to live, as said in the movie.
there's definitely black humour there, but it's subtle...like the comical sounding banjo music during the chase scene and a lot of Robbie Carlisle's lines. For me it's the innapropraite humour that makes it so sinister. It jars with the horror of what's going on.
What I mean is that these dilemmas apply to everyday life in all the world, and the film takes a stand, saying to us: Take evil, and your life will be easier. Or struggle to be a good man...and be at peace with yourself.
Nevertheless, I think that what the film tells us is that good people are the ones who have to struggle the most with the evil surrounding them, whether it's persons or their inner temptations. People that choose evil, like Ives, have taken the easier path, but in return they have a lot more chances of success/less acusations upon them, as we've seen in the story.
Having said that, I must add that I believe that the story focus on the moral choices that men do, embodied in the choices that the carachter of Boyd takes: he doesn't want to fall in the arms of evil (by that I mean following Ives and his killing spree/cannibalism) but he does, and at the end he redeems himself by killing all the cannibals including himself, and by not eating Ives when he dies first. That could have saved him, but he chose to follow the good part left in him, and died in peace.
In time, Ravenous will be more appreciated than on it's original release, and I think it's slowly happening right now with some of the people who's seen it, recently or not. Even if you don't care about the meaning of the story, when you focus on the actors (please someone give Pearce and Carlysle an Oscar, at least they can cut it by the half and share it!), atmosphere, score, direction and script, you can still feel you've seen something special. And Ravenous is very special.
This is an incredibly underrated movie I love it. All these men, each with their own deep failure, although some very remarkable in some ways (Reich, Hart)... but all sent here because the army doesn't want them. Nothing but the quiet cold wilderness and their own reflections on failure... until...
totally forgotten movie. I saw it one time as a kid when we still payed for movies and i loved this film. I've never seen it since....can't find it either. Too bad.
I went to this on a whim, out of boredom, when it was originally released completely unaware of the story. Everything about it was kind of awesome; probably intensified from being completely caught off guard about the whole thing. Not only because of the efforts of the the actors, but also the production in general -- including especially (for myself) the music and the cinematography -- which was also kind of awesome.
Does this movie involve a killer that uses a hammer? I remember hearing about it years ago but was too young to see it. For whatever reason, I had a sudden urge to look it up.
I just got this through netflix 'cause I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. It's a kickass movie, and the creepy music just adds to the ass kicking.
"WHEN YOUR A CANNIBLE, ITS TOUGH MAKING FRIENDS".......
Btw, this is a true story. Google, search and you will see what real NIGHTMARES ARE MADE OF..... No B.S. I just cant recall the guys name in real life, but he really did kill em and eat em, no shit!!!!!!!
You are so wrong my friend! You can watch a special about the movie that will tell you that is where he got the inspiration! Also, if you really knew theAlfred Packer story you would very well know the main character in the movie is indeed based on him! Same year, same place, same man!!!!!!!
I have lived in Colorado my whole life and I can agree even with you and your condescending tone, that Ravenous is a remarkable & fantastic movie.... but it is not Mr. Packers story. I have been to a great deal of our Colorado history museums, Packers grave, and wrote a few papers on his life. I can see what your saying about it as being inspiring for the character Capt John Boyd, but that's it!
Only a CHILD would ASSUME that i meant the movie was literally true.
Anyone with some commonsense can tell theres a HUGE amount of hollywood spin involved! Like MOST movies based on true stories, RAVENOUS was given a "spin" to make it a more entertaining film to watch. Thats why DOCUMENTRY FILMS were created! To tell the REAL story about something. RAVENOUS is a film BASED on fact, wich was made to ENTERTAIN!! OBVIOUSLY!!!! Its a Vague BLACK COMMEDY, wich R meant to both SCARE & MAKE U LAUGH.
As for the Wendigo, alot of Robert Carlyles dialouge has a lot to do with the Myth (eating the flesh of a man to gain his strength) and its not just because there is an "indian" written into the movie!! Now take your toys and go find an argument with someone who cares!
Listen youngster, first off, do U understand film at all? Character placement, basis, conventional story line sequence in science fiction films based on fact? Clearly not! Your 1st comment was semi ok, logical and oppropriate. In your second comment, the "tone" was not for you, and was directed to the MANY messages i get regaurding the film! 3rd, if you even UNDERSTOOD why i referenced the indian U would know as everyone els did, that it was a reply to another user on WHY the indian was written!
Continued from below for mrgrizzlymosher: The indian was written becouse the writer needed a character to explain the WENDIGO to the audience! Duh! If you werent 16 U would know that! 4th, I LUV YOUR LAST SENTENCE!!! QUOTE," take your toys & go find an argument with someone who cares". DO U KNOW WHAT AN OXYMORON IS? You take the time to write 2 comments back & then U call me condescending? Looks like U do care, & U are the condescending 1. Go MOSH some more. Maybe youll lose some more sense.
I am glad you can make fun of my last name, its Irish and pronounced Moe-sher not MOSH-er but it does not matter to little angry people like you. I thought I was going to share some great conversation about this film... and in that fact I was wrong... go do you internet arguements with with some one else... your the super genius and I am the 16 year old, that works for me!
@mrtruthify the movie in itself was not a true story how ever the calhouns charachter looks alot like alferd packer and it takes some stuff from the donner party. i hate when people take a movie into consideration that its based off a true story i got into an argument at school once with a teacher from texas who said the texas chainsaw massacre was true. when you l9ook at the bigger picture leather face was inspired by ed gein
man i watched the movie by accident few years ago and it was apsolutely genius and funny to watch it :) i forgot the name and couldnt find it till now :) ^_^ downloading it wohooh cant wait to watch it again
without a doubt one of the best movies ive watched
The music is by far the best thing about this film. Robert Caryle in particular is fantastic, but Michael Nyman's score is in a world of its own. Probably one of the best scores of the decade I'd say. Too bad he didn't get more recognition for it.
This movie wasn't scary as much as it was creepy and errey. I saw this in the theaters back then and I have to be honest, I had no idea how brilliant you could make a horror movie until I saw this one.

Niebla1985 2 years ago
Nevertheless, I think that what the film tells us is that good people are the ones who have to struggle the most with the evil surrounding them, whether it's persons or their inner temptations. People that choose evil, like Ives, have taken the easier path, but in return they have a lot more chances of success/less acusations upon them, as we've seen in the story.
Niebla1985 2 years ago
Having said that, I must add that I believe that the story focus on the moral choices that men do, embodied in the choices that the carachter of Boyd takes: he doesn't want to fall in the arms of evil (by that I mean following Ives and his killing spree/cannibalism) but he does, and at the end he redeems himself by killing all the cannibals including himself, and by not eating Ives when he dies first. That could have saved him, but he chose to follow the good part left in him, and died in peace.

In time, Ravenous will be more appreciated than on it's original release, and I think it's slowly happening right now with some of the people who's seen it, recently or not. Even if you don't care about the meaning of the story, when you focus on the actors (please someone give Pearce and Carlysle an Oscar, at least they can cut it by the half and share it!), atmosphere, score, direction and script, you can still feel you've seen something special. And Ravenous is very special.

This is an incredibly underrated movie I love it. All these men, each with their own deep failure, although some very remarkable in some ways (Reich, Hart)... but all sent here because the army doesn't want them. Nothing but the quiet cold wilderness and their own reflections on failure... until...

I went to this on a whim, out of boredom, when it was originally released completely unaware of the story. Everything about it was kind of awesome; probably intensified from being completely caught off guard about the whole thing. Not only because of the efforts of the the actors, but also the production in general -- including especially (for myself) the music and the cinematography -- which was also kind of awesome.

Does this movie involve a killer that uses a hammer? I remember hearing about it years ago but was too young to see it. For whatever reason, I had a sudden urge to look it up.

Btw, this is a true story. Google, search and you will see what real NIGHTMARES ARE MADE OF..... No B.S. I just cant recall the guys name in real life, but he really did kill em and eat em, no shit!!!!!!!

I think you are thinking of Alfered Packer from Colorado, and Ravenous has nothing to do with that, it has to do with the Mythos of the Wendigo.
mrgrizzlymosher 2 years ago
You are so wrong my friend! You can watch a special about the movie that will tell you that is where he got the inspiration! Also, if you really knew theAlfred Packer story you would very well know the main character in the movie is indeed based on him! Same year, same place, same man!!!!!!!
mrtruthify 2 years ago
Also the reason the indian is even written in to RAVENOUS is so he can MAKE REFFERENCE TO THE WINDIGO! Have you even watched either of the films?
mrtruthify 2 years ago
I have lived in Colorado my whole life and I can agree even with you and your condescending tone, that Ravenous is a remarkable & fantastic movie.... but it is not Mr. Packers story. I have been to a great deal of our Colorado history museums, Packers grave, and wrote a few papers on his life. I can see what your saying about it as being inspiring for the character Capt John Boyd, but that's it!
mrgrizzlymosher 2 years ago
Only a CHILD would ASSUME that i meant the movie was literally true.
Anyone with some commonsense can tell theres a HUGE amount of hollywood spin involved! Like MOST movies based on true stories, RAVENOUS was given a "spin" to make it a more entertaining film to watch. Thats why DOCUMENTRY FILMS were created! To tell the REAL story about something. RAVENOUS is a film BASED on fact, wich was made to ENTERTAIN!! OBVIOUSLY!!!! Its a Vague BLACK COMMEDY, wich R meant to both SCARE & MAKE U LAUGH.

As for the Wendigo, alot of Robert Carlyles dialouge has a lot to do with the Myth (eating the flesh of a man to gain his strength) and its not just because there is an "indian" written into the movie!! Now take your toys and go find an argument with someone who cares!
mrgrizzlymosher 2 years ago
Listen youngster, first off, do U understand film at all? Character placement, basis, conventional story line sequence in science fiction films based on fact? Clearly not! Your 1st comment was semi ok, logical and oppropriate. In your second comment, the "tone" was not for you, and was directed to the MANY messages i get regaurding the film! 3rd, if you even UNDERSTOOD why i referenced the indian U would know as everyone els did, that it was a reply to another user on WHY the indian was written!
mrtruthify 2 years ago
Continued from below for mrgrizzlymosher: The indian was written becouse the writer needed a character to explain the WENDIGO to the audience! Duh! If you werent 16 U would know that! 4th, I LUV YOUR LAST SENTENCE!!! QUOTE," take your toys & go find an argument with someone who cares". DO U KNOW WHAT AN OXYMORON IS? You take the time to write 2 comments back & then U call me condescending? Looks like U do care, & U are the condescending 1. Go MOSH some more. Maybe youll lose some more sense.

I am glad you can make fun of my last name, its Irish and pronounced Moe-sher not MOSH-er but it does not matter to little angry people like you. I thought I was going to share some great conversation about this film... and in that fact I was wrong... go do you internet arguements with with some one else... your the super genius and I am the 16 year old, that works for me!

@mrtruthify the movie in itself was not a true story how ever the calhouns charachter looks alot like alferd packer and it takes some stuff from the donner party. i hate when people take a movie into consideration that its based off a true story i got into an argument at school once with a teacher from texas who said the texas chainsaw massacre was true. when you l9ook at the bigger picture leather face was inspired by ed gein

J1Goro 2 years ago 8
The music is by far the best thing about this film. Robert Caryle in particular is fantastic, but Michael Nyman's score is in a world of its own. Probably one of the best scores of the decade I'd say. Too bad he didn't get more recognition for it.
