Ravenous (1999)
Directed by Antonia Bird this film stars Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle. In 1840s California during the winter a man arrives at a military outpost as the last survivor of the group he was travelling.
Inspired by the Donner Party this is a decent look at the dark side of American history and the frontier via the desire to consume at all costs. There is some depth to the script and Robert Carlyle in particular is excellent in the film. The supporting cast is pretty impressive too.
4/5
