Ravenous

FREE FOR EVERYONE/Horror Weekend/On 35mm! 

In a remote military outpost in the 19th Century, Captain John Boyd and his regiment embark on a rescue mission which takes a dark turn when they are ambushed by a sadistic cannibal. “Amid a notoriously fraught production, third director Antonia Bird, known mainly as a British theater and TV-movie director and producer, resurrected what would likely have been a forgettable film. The result is a horror-comedy-western unlike any other, which demands broader recognition of Bird’s body of work and, most essentially, a good, loud sound system.” (Screen Slate)
