A cowardly American soldier (Guy Pearce) is stationed at an isolated military outpost with a bunch of misfits in Sierra Nevada following the Mexican-American War in 1847. When a dazed survivor (Robert Carlyle) of an unfortunate mountain expedition shows up at the outpost, it isn't long before he reveals himself to be a murderous madman with a taste for human flesh. RAVENOUS is an offbeat, blackly comic, and extremely bloody effort from director Antonia Bird (PRIEST).
