The Ravenous Reviews

Writer-director Robin Aubert cleverly mixes things up by skipping the usual zombie infection build-up and dropping us right into the thick of the apocalypse with a unique twist.

| Jun 10, 2021

Thoughtful, unnerving, and completely insane, Ravenous is a refreshing addition to the zombie canon, even if its own abstractness occasionally trips it up.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 2, 2021

A magnetic, arrhythmic and different zombie epic but, at the same time, with the feet firmly put in the tradition of the genre. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jul 23, 2019

The story ends up without giving us satisfactory answers about this apocalypse; with characters lacking a narrative arc. [Full Review in Spanish]

| May 29, 2019

Don't forget to breathe while diving into this fable of cultural survival.

What truly makes The Ravenous stand out in the overstuffed zombie landscape is the film's formal artfulness.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 7, 2018

"A style that alternates the most graphic violence with a narrative built with an allusive and elliptical montage".

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 12, 2018

The result is(...)a road trip zombie film without a destination. [The fact that] the search for safety never truly amounts to anything is a testament to the film's bleak(...)point of view, but it also makes the 96-minute runtime feel much longer.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 21, 2018

Robin Aubert creates a horror thriller about zombies reliant on silences and a predominant visual language and succeeds. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 27, 2018

Ravenous invites us to imagine a nightmare to then walk into it. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 9, 2018

The sound design complements the performances -something masterfully done by the recent A Quiet Place - which combines the plastic expression of interior fear with remarkable moments of unstoppable adrenaline. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 7, 2018

There is no screen as a dividing line in this film, enhanced by the use of fear as a substantial element. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 3, 2018

Stay until after the credits. [Full review in Spanish]

| Aug 2, 2018

An interesting take on the zombie genre, but its laid-back indie narrative, which never really bothers with a plot, can make enjoying its occasional splatters of blood a bit of a slog.

| May 23, 2018

The movie isn't entirely effective. The rhythm it sets - long, poetic shots of greenery, interrupted by a sudden, bloody scare - gets repetitive quickly. But give it credit for trying something new.

| May 9, 2018

Where Ravenous reaches its greatness is in its formal set up and its capacity not only to create a unique atmosphere, but also in overstimulating shock for the audience managing to let the visual calligraphy work infallibly. [Full Review in Spanish]

[Robin] Aubert has made an elegant horror film... [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 16, 2018

A beautiful and heartbreaking film that is much closer to Tarkovsky, Bresson and without a doubt Romero, that walks with its own personality. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2018

Medical jokes are a very powerful weapon...[Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 10, 2018

Unique but very bloody, violent take on zombie genre.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 22, 2018
