Ravenous
After arriving at his new, remote Army outpost, Capt. John Boyd and his regiment aid a wounded frontiersman who recounts a horrifying tale of a wagon train murdered by its supposed guide – a vicious U.S. Army colonel gone rogue. Fearing the worst, the regiment heads out into the wilderness to verify the gruesome claims.
Critics Sentiment
Colqhoun kills rescue party one by one
Boyd imprisoned after Cleaves mysteriously dies
The film peaks when Colqhoun is revealed as the killer then drops significantly during Boyd's imprisonment and loss of credibility with fellow soldiers
Ravenous builds from an intriguing opening through a compelling first half anchored by Robert Carlyle's outstanding performance, peaking during the cave discovery and Colqhoun's reveal. The film struggles somewhat in its middle act with muddled plotting before recovering for a dark, ambiguous finale that divides critics on its effectiveness.
