* Rated: R (Violence, Profanity, Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)

Not particularly "Lovecraftian", though there

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

==Synopsis==

{{spoiler|
Upon receiving reports of missing persons at Fort Spencer, a remote Army outpost on the Western frontier, Capt. John Boyd investigates. After arriving at his new post, Boyd and his regiment aid a wounded frontiersman, F.W. Colghoun, who recounts a horrifying tale of a wagon train murdered by its supposed guide -- a vicious U.S. Army colonel gone rogue. Fearing the worst, the regiment heads out into the wilderness to verify Colghoun's gruesome claims.

 Review Links:

+* Jeffrey M. Anderson at Combustible Celluloid (3.5/4 Stars) ([http://www.combustiblecelluloid.com/archive/ravenous.shtml link]) - "''Ravenous'' is a terrifically well-made gory horror movie with splashes of humor."
+* Graeme Clark at The Spinning Image (8/10 Stars) ([http://www.thespinningimage.co.uk/cultfilms/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=387 link]) - "The action is set against striking landscapes, but despite its historical trappings, Ravenous is basically a slasher movie with pretentions... However it has a nasty humour and its strong central idea convinces: that if you give up your sense of decency, you can have an authority over others - but at what cost?"

-Not particularly "Lovecraftian", though there
+Not particularly "Lovecraftian", though the cannibal theme can be stretched a bit to fit Lovecraft's Ghouls or, for example, "[[The Picture in the House (fiction)]]".  This otherwise suggests some ideas for a "[[Weird West]]" scenario.
