“Legendary” Western horror that’s given fans nightmares is on Disney Plus, but there’s a catch

Social media users are expressing their adoration for the timeless cannibal horror movie Ravenous, but it is only available for streaming in the Great White North.

Among the various recommendations in the thread, one particularly stands out: Ravenous, a 1999 cannibal horror film that combines dark comedy with horror.

One fan described the cast as “killer”and claimed that the movie was one of the creepiest and most intense they had ever seen. Despite only watching it once and vowing to never watch it again, they were able to recall specific details with incredible clarity, even though they claimed to have the memory of a goldfish.

In the mid-1800s, Ravenous takes place and centers around Captain John Boyd (Guy Pearce), a soldier who is transferred to Fort Spencer to look into the disappearance of his fellow soldiers. It is at this fort that he crosses paths with F.W. Colqhoun (Robert Carlyle), who has turned to cannibalism in an attempt to cure his tuberculosis after discovering the belief of the Wendigo curse.

Despite its cult classic status, the cast of this film includes well-known actors such as David Arquette, Neal McDonough, and John Spencer, who gave his final performance in this movie. However, it is currently only accessible for streaming on Disney+ in Canada.

Despite underperforming at the box office, Ravenous received mixed reviews and was praised by critics such as Roger Ebert, ultimately solidifying its reputation over time. The film’s budget of $12 million yielded less than $3 million in earnings.

Currently, the film holds a 52% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but it has an impressive 78% score from the audience. The OP did find the movie satisfying, despite having already watched it, and both individuals enjoyed the film.
