Chicago Sun-Times -
Clever in the way it avoids most of the cliches of the vampire movie by using cannibalism, and most of the cliches of the cannibal movie by using vampirism. It serves both dishes with new sauces.

L.A. Weekly -
Although the hinges connecting the film's elements -- slapstick, political satire, thriller, gross-out shots -- sometimes squeak loudly, they hold the movie together nicely.

TV Guide Magazine -
An eccentric historical horror tale whose blackly comic tone wavers distracting.

The New York Times -
A potentially strong cast makes its way in deadly earnest through material that's often better suited to a Monty Python skit.

Chicago Tribune -
For about half its length, Ravenous is a fairly effective scare picture, with a laugh or two. Then it just goes sour and pretentious. [19 March 1999, Friday, p.D]
