Following an act of bravery paradoxically accomplished because of his cowardice, Captain John Boyd is stationed at Fort Spencer, an isolated place where the rejects of the U.S. Army are sent. The camp's routine is disturbed by the arrival of Colquhoun, a Scottish colonist in search of refuge against the freezing cold. The distraught visitor begins to tell how he survived the winter …

The artistic success of Ravenous is miraculous. Antonia Bird does an incredible work to sublimate the poisonous script of Ted Griffin, even though she arrived on set unexpectedly, replacing the original director. Staged with elegance, with conscientious and motivated actors, an original and captivating soundtrack by Damon Albarn, everything contributes to propel Vorace in the insane masterpieces category.
