Movie Review

Ravenous (1999)

EW's GRADE
C-

Details Rated: R; Genres: Comedy, Horror, Mystery and Thriller; With: Robert Carlyle and Guy Pearce

Blood-black comedy of table manners, biting critique of Manifest Destiny, or queasy horror show? This oddball period tale of cannibalistic shenanigans at a remote military base in the Sierra Nevada tried to be all things to few people (it was yanked from nearly 1,000 theaters after just two weeks). At least it's not a boring meal. Reel Goodies (0:30) A wounded Jeremy Davies wakes up screaming ''He was licking me!'' The Last Detail One of the film's caterers is named Tim De'Ath. C+
