"Ravenous" boasts an interesting and fresh setting, a rather out-of-place yet somehow energizing score, and strong performances from the actors. Essentially, a western story is combined with a cannibal plot, which works well for the most part. At times, however, the movie doesn't quite know whether it would have preferred to be a comedy, only to be deadly serious again in the next moment. Unfortunately, the first half of the movie is much stronger than the second, in which the pace is noticeably slowed down. While there are still a few genuinely crass scenes and strong character moments at the beginning, boredom sets in more and more frequently later on. The plot also becomes increasingly ridiculous as the movie progresses. Despite the promising start, "Ravenous" ultimately did not leave me satisfied in the end.
