Ravenous (1999)
Upon receiving reports of missing persons at Fort Spencer, a remote Army outpost on the Western frontier, Capt. John Boyd investigates. After arriving at his new post, Boyd and his regiment aid a wounded frontiersman who recounts a horrifying tale of a wagon train murdered by its supposed guide -- a vicious U.S. Army colonel gone rogue. Fearing the worst, the regiment heads out into the wilderness to verify the gruesome claims. california, army, chase, fort, winter, cliff, cave, dark comedy, gore, sierra nevada, frontier, survival, murder, snow, camp, soldier, cannibal, madness, stranger, american mexican war, woman director, wendigo, american frontier, military outpost, vomiting blood, cannibalism, 1840s
