Ravenous (1999)

Surprisingly funny cannibalism epidemic at an isolated military fort

This delightfully schizophrenic horror/comedy doesn’t play by any genre rules. Ravenous’ humor, gore, and tension are wonderfully interwoven within scenes that play for laughs and grim terror simultaneously. The cast is solid (particularly Jeffrey Jones), the writing is clever, and the score, from Michael Nyman and Gorillaz’ Damon Albarn, is wonderfully eccentric.
