Ravenous (2017)
4/10
Nothing new, a dumb zombie movie with no entertainment value.
10 March 2018
Ok, first things first. I am not a critic. I am just a normal audience watching 1 movie a day. I hadnt seen the trailer, so I had no idea what I was expecting. the Genre "drama & horror", is given to the movie. Where there is some drama, the horror part is no where to be seen. Positive: great landscapes. I guess the first zombie movie with such scenery. some effective humor here and there. Negative: It is DULL: very slow pacing, camera focus on a character for 30 secs, without anything happening. no expressions, no message. just dullness. It is Dumb: the characters do not live in real world. OR they all are in total shock (which is hard to beleive since it has been weeks and months they have been living like this). The decisions made make no sense. for example in an important scene a group of people while realising they have been ambushed, live the house on foot (there are cars around which they can use). but they dont. No idea why. Zombies are like ghosts, they appear out of no where. In one shot a character is alert holiding a gun in open, next shot she is bitten by a single zombie. why didnt she shoot her, how did she not see her coming? not answered. I like when a director leaves a hint and let the audience use his/ her imagination but in this case my imagination couldnt catch up. I was left clueless. Verdict: if you are looking for a zombie horror movie, skip this. you will be disappointed.
