Ravenous, a review by Rich

Ravenous



It's a recipe for nonstop action and excitement when the inhabitants of an isolated military outpost go up against a marauding band of cannibals in a deadly struggle for survival!
Guy Pearce (L.A. Confidential, Memento), Robert Carlyle (The World is Not Enough, The Beach) and David Arquette (Scream) must fight brutal elements of the Sierra Nevada wilderness - as well as their own murderous instincts - in this thriilling adventure, filled with "incredibly dark and brilliantly twisted horror." - LOADED.

What a pointless, preposterous movie, I had read such rave reviews but I didn't enjoy it, in fact found it totally boring and ridiculous. It is gory without the horror, in fact my personal thoughts were this was more a tongue in cheek comedy, with plenty of hamming by the lead actors.
If it isn't an attempted comedy, I am at a loss on how to review it? Perhaps a more informed horror viewer can advise it's correct genre??

My Thoughts:
This is the first time I have watched this movie. And once again I enjoyed it very much. Same type of great effects... this time done slightly better. An interesting story that held my attention throughout... and horror legend Vincent Price as The Invisible Man. How can you go wrong? But I must admit... this is one of the older movies I have seen with Vincent Price.... and I really didn't recognize him! If it wasn't for his name in the credits... I would never have realized it was him. This movie has great image and sound quality (at least on my standard 24in TV). It was a true joy to watch.
