Average.
Fairly original movie, this Ravenous. I hadn't read anything beforehand, so that helps too. In any case, it is a self-conscious film that manages to mix a few genres into something refreshing. It's not all that nice. Every now and then the film looks a tad cheap - on the other hand, that might just be its strength.
Robert Carlyle stars in a role that is tailor-made for him. That's actually a great actor. The rest of the cast is at least as well known, but exchangeable sooner. The film focuses more on atmosphere, then acting jumps out a little less. The horror scenes could have been a little more horror for me. It all looks pretty nice.
