Ravenous-End Titles

Ravenous
Michael Nyman & Damon Albarn

[@frankjohann8553]

This Song has been stuck in my head for the last 15 years. Criminally underrated movie. A true gem. The Score is brilliant.

[@OliverStahl]

Same for me. I watched the movie first when I was in my early teens, and from time to time I remembered the music and story. (I usually forget about a movie´s story, let alone score, within weeks) So today I rented the movie once more and it´s still brilliant, in even more ways then back then. Brilliant acting, great scenery, and the soundtrack. I still get goosebumps every time this title comes on...

[@Woodlouse81]

Oliver Stahl Same here, no other film has stuck with me like it did. Just rewatched it and the film was just as I remembered. Also this is Albarn's best music, its criminal the OST isn't available in digital format to buy.

[@frankdodd3355]

Went to see the movie thinking shlock, came out thinking art. My sister ran out to get the soundtrack on CD (Ha!) the next day. Great film, great soundtrack.

[@gammarayberst]

everything you guys said... one of the most affecting scores for me....unforgettable. was watching cannibal documentary. and immediately thought of this movie. had to find it again and this song

[@madjack821]

I'm late to the party. This one was always on my "To Watch" list, but as life goes, it never happend. I saw it on Netflix the other day (while having supper which consisted of pot roast) and decided to give it a whirl. Pure awesome! When he goes after the preacher, it could almost be a Mentos commercial!

[@Human_Dynamo]

One of the best film scores of all time. This final track is a great representation. Simultaneously light-hearted, oppressive, and ultimately triumphant. It is unsettling while still being beautiful. Kudos to Albarn and Nyman for making a perfect score to a fantastic film.

[@cabe3231]

Beautifully said.

[@edwardchapel8036]

One of the most underrated horror films ever made in my view.

[@vitin666]

I dont think is underrated at all, everybody that have watched liked it, at least in my experience asking people. Its a damn master piece and most people appreciate it

[@eggl0r]

@@vitin666 this movie came out when blockbuster and such were around, when VHS TAPES were around. A LOT OF PEOPLE havent seen its beauty. its really a shame. this is and will be always my favorite movie of all time and im 32 years old. this movie taught me a lot of things as well as fear a lot of things. its a pure masterpiece in every way.

Me too I absolutely love it,it's got Damon Albarn's name written all over it.

[@nathansugden9332]

It takes a hold of you instantly and sort of takes you on a journey where everything is going to be alright,so entrancing and addictive music,simple but quite genius.

[@juancarlosesquivelsoto3906]

When I went to the cinema, I remember it was only a couple and I watching it. I don´t know why this movie hasn´t had the success it deserved. The final scene, when the camera turns aerial and slowly got far while the image is fading, let me a sensation of being witness of a strange kind of beauty.I never get tired of watching it!

[@pluckyduck11y]

It's criminally underrated. Everyone I know who I've shared it with has enjoyed it. I understand how many could be put off by the gore, but by the 1990s I figure most audiences should be prepared for that from a horror movie. This has more than gore. It's got intrigue, dark humor, and spiritual themes.

[@BertzTriscut]

Bad marketing. Ads sold it as some generic stoner movie.

[@jheetman]

Fuck, how I love reading the comments of a great film with a great cast and a great soundtrack to boot.

[@Mercymurv]

[@Emulous79]

One of the best movies of the 90s directed by a British woman. In fact, it's one of a kind. Paradoxically tender and grotesque.

[@as680783]

*Paradoxically tender and grotesque.* The words I've been looking for to describe 'this' one of my favourite movies and scores of all time. The music seems ironic and almost compassionate, following such a squeamishly powerful scene. Love the film, but loved the soundtrack more! Thanks for uploading this. Craig

[@anonony9081]

This music fits the movie so well. Unsettling, something not quite right but you can't put your finger on it. Lulls you into a false sense of security with its major chords while letting you know something isn't quite right with the a-tonal and minor undertones

[@youtert]

It's the banjo playing in an odd 13/8 time signature while everything else plays in 4/4.

[@tjhall9377]

@@youtertI was stressing out trying to figure out what the timing of the banjo part…13/8! Also it’s playing a major 7th interval which is really unsettling because when it’s playing the major 7th note it makes everything underneath it unresolved and “clash-y”. It’s exactly the same notes as the 48 second mark in this training video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHXPYWZufNKnq8Usi=TtfuFYeFbm11vzUC

[@go234ko96ts5]

I saw this strange but unique movie on HBO the other night and still can't get enough of the closing song during the credits. It's freaking great.

[@Woodlouse81]

What I don't get is why they didn't produce a couple more albums like this. I know the film bombed, unfairly because it is also excellent, but despite that I wish Albarn/Nyman had followed up the soundtrack as they absolutely nailed it.

[@hamehtambadou2905]

One of the greatest movies ever made !! I remember watching it back in 1999 when it just came out. And still to date it baffles me how and why it didn’t get the recognition it deserves as a masterpiece

[@moggycat99]

Such an unnerving and unassuming little film.

[@rickschaier9977]

I’ll never forget seeing this movie in junior high hearing this song and being so moved. It made me feel a sort of way I’d never felt before by a film score. Melancholic beauty and it’s finest. Still makes me emotional every time I hear it.

[@markh40511]

Same here, 12 or 13 on HBO or Cinemax or one of those cable channels. Watched so many great movies that way at that age. The New World by Terrence Malick is another period piece with a terrific ending that really affected me.

[@lxdead5585]

Loved te soundtrack, loved the movie. In the end when Boyd decides to die rather then loose his minds, humanity wins over savagery. Really good ending.

[@oddballsok]

you missed the fact that general Slouson was eating cannibal soup...and THUS continues the wendigo spirit to ...california..

[@lxdead5585]

@@oddballsok I do believe it's all in person's mind. Boyd knew he was eating man's flash, same goes for Ive's and other wendigos. They knew what they were doing. I don't remember the movie as well, haven't watched it for a longer time, but Slouson just tasted it and he didn't know it was man's flesh soup. As for triumph of humanity over savagery - it's about Boyd's character. When he was struck with fear, he acted like a wild animal that is willing to survive no matter what, but in the end he realise there are fates worse than death and he decides to die a human rather then living pathetic life of a beast in a human skin.

[@leewilkin5892]

One of the best soundtracks I've heard, one of my favourites

[@armeeuff1]

Normally I am inspired by soundtracks from the likes of John Barry and Hans Zimmer but this movie soundtrack opened up a wonderful new door to my imagination. Inspiring and hauntingly beautiful to build upon what sometimes begins with what sounds like simple notes played by a child or the Mayberry RFD Band and layers in dissonance in ways that speak to emotions as well as any score can.

[@SocialDissimulation]

I watched this movie when I was 11/12 and was terrified throughout the entire film -- until I heard this song. I have no idea why, but this song stuck with me through all of these years and still evokes powerful emotions.

[@iheartmusic5586]

Wonderful tune to walk with during a sunrise

[@Zladnyl]

The movie wasn't scary, but it was a good horror film. It was gruesome, disturbing, gory, and in a way, realistic. It is a masterpiece, especially the soundtrack. It was because of the era the movie was based in and because of the music, that this movie was even a masterpiece. If they had done the music differently or it was in a different era, the same plot would not have worked elsewhere, but it worked perfectly in unison with those two aspects. It is also a somewhat realistic, relatable, down to earth, and believable film, especially with 3+ accounts in recent history from Russia and America specifically, that had similar accidents of cannibalism in similar settings, which makes this all the more better, but also disturbing. It has a dreaded sense of melancholy, hopelessness, and realism to it, and the music made it a perfect masterpiece combined with setting, basis, lore, and the era it was set in. This is one of the greatest movies of all time, and it is sad to know it is a hidden gem with little attention drawn to it.
