Released in 1996, Scream arrived at a crucial moment for horror cinema. Directed by Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson, the film helped rescue a genre that many believed had run out of ideas. By the mid-1990s, the slasher cycle that had produced Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street had become increasingly formulaic, with audiences being fed a stream of quote/unquote “psychological thrillers.” True horror was, in many respects, considered “dead.”

RAVENOUS (1999) Blu-ray Review

Ravenous (1999) d. Antonia Bird (UK)

“It’s lonely being a cannibal. Tough making friends.” Heaping helpings of black comedy and gory carnage are served up in this hilarious and edgy slice of period-piece horror. Set in the waning days of the Mexican-American War, cowardly Army captain John Boyd (Guy Pearce) is stationed at a remote outpost in the Sierra Nevadas where daily routine is stultifying dull...until a bedraggled survivor from a failed wagon train expedition (Robert Carlyle) staggers in from the wilderness with tales of survival that would turn the hardiest soul into a vegetarian.
