Full Plot Details

Captain John Boyd receives a promotion after defeating the enemy command in a battle of the Mexican-American War, but because the general realizes it was an act of cowardice that got him there, he is given a backhanded promotion to Fort Spencer, where he is third in command. The others at the fort are two Indians, George and his sister, Martha, who came with the place, Chaplain Toffler, Reich, the soldier; Cleaves, a drugged-up cook; and Knox, who is frequently drunk. When a Scottish stranger named Colquhoun appears and recovers from frostbite almost instantly after being bathed, he tells a story about his party leader, Ives, eating members of the party to survive. As part of their duty, they must go up to the cave where this occurred to see if any have survived. Only Martha, Knox, and Cleaves stay behind. George warns that since Colquhoun admits to eating human flesh, he must be a Windigo, a ravenous cannibalistic creature.

Movie Reviews

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip Martin...one of those rare, genuinely subversive (of Hollywood values) films, like Beyond the Valley of the Dolls or Eating Raoul
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonA terrifically well-made gory horror movie with splashes of humor.
Seanax.com - 8/10 by Sean Axmaker... the definitive frontier cannibal movie. ... a gruesome survival thriller with a crimson-hued streak of black humor and an elemental hint of the supernatural.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasHas all the ingredients for a cult film success but most definitely is not for everyone. It's stylish, sophisticated, venturesome--to say the least.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 8/10 by Tim BraytonMore than just a gory horror film in period dress, though it bears saying over and over again that even as a simple Western-horror hybrid, this is pretty great.
Austin Chronicle - 8/10 by Marc SavlovBird's grim, picture-perfect direction -- the Sierras are more character than backdrop, and everything else looks like it's already been digested and expelled -- augments what is frankly a small, albeit lusterless, gem of a horror show, for once with as many smarts as body parts.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertClever in the way it avoids most of the cliches of the vampire movie by using cannibalism, and most of the cliches of the cannibal movie by using vampirism. It serves both dishes with new sauces.
Salon.com - 8/10 by Andrew O'HehirThough it definitely requires a strong stomach, Ravenous may be the best cannibal tragicomedy ever made.
TheFilmFile.com - 8/10 by Dustin PutmanI found myself often shrinking down in my seat, afraid to see what was going to happen next, but not daring to take my eyes off the screen, either.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by David N. ButterworthWithout a doubt the best -- and possibly only -- period cannibal horror comedy ever made!
