I love that the opening loop stays throughout the entire track, like a memory of happier times, gradually pushed to the background as the music changes as the story of an optimistic voyage turns into a nightmare.

"We left in April, six of us in all. Mr. MacCready and his wife, from Ireland. Mr. Janus, from Virginia, I believe, with his servant, Jones. Myself - I'm from Scotland. And our guide, a military man, coincidently, Colonel Ives. A Detestable man and a most disastrous guide. He professed to know a new, shorter route through the Nevadas. Quite a route that was. Longer than the known one and impossible to travel. We worked very, very hard. By the time of the first snowfall, we were still a hundred miles from this place. That was November. Preceding in the snow was futile. We took shelter in a cave, decided to wait until the storm had passed but the storm did not pass. The trails soon became impassable and we had run out of food. We ate the oxen, all the horses and even my own dog. And that lasted us about a month. After that we turned to our belts, shoes and any roots we could dig up, but you know there's no real nourishment in those. We remained famished. The day that Jones died, I was out collecting wood. He had expired from malnourishment. And when I returned, the others were cooking his legs for dinner. Would I have stopped it had I been there? I don't know. But I must say when I stepped inside that cave, the smell of meat cooking, I thanked the Lord. I thanked the Lord. And then things got out of hand. I ate sparingly, others did not. The meat did not last us a week and we were soon hungry again, only this time our hunger was different. More, severe, savage. And Colonel Ives, particularly, could not be satisfied. Janus was the first to be killed and then Mr. MacCready. That left Colonel Ives, MacCready's wife and I alone and I knew that in that company my days were numbered. I'm ashamed to say that I acted in the most cowardly manner. It would have been nobler, I know to have stayed and protected Mrs. MacCready from Ives, but I was weak. I fled. It was nothing less than pure providence that I arrived here."

I love this music so much, I found myself listening to it multiple times a day. It has a european sound to it, a mix of styles from the old continent's settlers who made the US. The concertina loop reminds me of acadian and cajun french music, and the flute has almost a medieval european feel to it. It makes sense when you place it in the context of the movie. This medieval feel is there to illustrate the centuries of european folk tales, myths and legends, that the settlers brought with them but soon forgot, embracing a new world of economic and industrial progress. This music beeing played when the wendigo and his deeds are introduced, links him with the european folklore, as if the wendigo is more than a native legend, but something greater present in all societies. Think about the werewolves, vampires and other ghouls. They too are simple humans corrupted by evil, and turning against other so stay "alive". Americans may think they escaped this, in a pure new world where they can prosper and progress as a civilisation, but the reality is that you can't fight human nature and the modern society it created, as it is the real wendigo, consuming everything in its path.

I'm from Russia. I must say that the concertina loop is very similar to the melody of the Turkic peoples. As is the sound of the instrument itself. I must admit that the composition attracted me precisely with the opening chords of concertina. That's how my grandfather played.

Absolute jewel of a movie. It's such a rarity for a film like this to take shape and for a singular focused vision to build such a unique twisty little film which is typically not accessible to the mainstream Marvel movie audience, but various deeper fans of cinema like John Carpenter fans are sure to appreciate the hell out of this.

Wasn't the issue that they were trying to market it to follow with the very popular Scream movies, but despite both being horror movies, the Scream movies were more light-hearted and Ravenous is much more serious & thoughtful? So two very different markets? I watched this movie because of Robert Carlyle, and without even having watched the trailer (which I usually do for movies). I then watched the trailer afterwards and was very glad I hadn't seen it before I saw the movie...
