Ravenous (1999) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Scott RenshawScott Renshaw
Every once in a while, when RAVENOUS settles down for some good oldfashioned terror tension, you can almost enjoy it. There are a few nicely staged confrontations and creepy moments in Antonia Bird's direction (or perhaps that of Milcho Manchevski, the ...read the complete Ravenous movie review at Scott Renshaw

Ravenous (1999) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
“You are who you eat.” So goes the tongue-in-cheek (so to speak) tagline of Ravenous, the inexplicable black comedy by iffy directress Antonia Bird. Set during the Mexican-American War, Ravenous starts with the promising tale of a soldier ...read the complete Ravenous movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

"It's lonely being a cannibal; it's not easy making friends." So bemoans U.S. Cavalry officer Hart (Jeffrey Jones) whilst trying to win a convert to his lifestyle in Ravenous, a whacked-out, genre-defying absurdity set in 1847 that does a schlock ...read the complete Ravenous movie review at Movie Reviews UK
Ravenous (1999) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Edward Johnson-OttEdward Johnson-Ott
Both visually and thematically, "Ravenous" is a messy little film. The tale of cannibalism in the Old West can't decide whether to be a horror movie, a black comedy or a sweeping metaphor about American imperialism, and tries in vain to be all three. ...read the complete Ravenous movie review at Edward Johnson-Ott

One day a nearly dead Scotsman named Colqhoun, played with great gusto by Robert Carlyle from THE FULL MONTY, stumbles into their remote outpost and relates a story that shocks everyone.

Ravenous emerges following a considerable amount of production woes - the first two directors having been dumped - and despite one of the most-offputting trailers in recent years - one that gave the impression of a studio trying to market a serious ...read the complete Ravenous movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

Ah, what could be better than the return of the good ol' fashioned cannibal movie? Well, judging from Ravenous, quite a bit, actually. Though it nearly hits its stride as a black comedy, the film never quite finds its rhythym, and falters when it turns ...read the complete Ravenous movie review at Cinematter (Matt Williams)
