In the sea of zombie-based content found on Netflix, Ravenous stands out like a distant island on the horizon. The film’s significance is hard to make out at first; though it’s promoted as a Netflix Original, Ravenous’ plot description is commonplace. Thankfully, it doesn’t take long for this Canadian horror film to show its teeth.
Directed by Robin Aubert, Ravenous (Les Affamés) opens in a rural region of Quebec, assumedly, on one of the first few days of the apocalypse. A racing event is taking place and a couple is seen kissing in a semi-secluded area near the track. Their public display of affection ends tragically moments later; the woman is violently bitten while the boyfriend looks on in horror. From here, the main cast is slowly introduced as the film skips to sometime after the plague has swept through the town. An old man can be seen fleeing from infected pursuers. A young boy mourns a recent loss before setting off on his own. Two friends trade jokes as they burn bodies in the woods. The early moments of the film are broken into what feels like vignettes – where instead of focusing on an overarching plot, we’re given snapshots of the current happenings as experienced by this small sampling of the surviving population.
