Surely this was intended as a horror-comedy, or were the laughs I derived not an intention of the makers of Raw? I mean, seriously...On media the film's all dressed up as strictly a straight up horror or 'Body Horror' as they like to call them. Did they get it wrong in some huge miscarriage of purpose or am I just solely intent on making fun of this movie? You see, there's this Veterinary College which doubles as an insane asylum where two sisters are reunited to learn their trade. Like the strict vegetarian she is, the younger develops a taste for raw flesh during a hazing stunt and eventually becomes a dirty girl vixen at the dorm discos which swing late into each morning just before class. Her sister however, even more perplexing, has the annoying habit of throwing herself in front of local vehicles to cause bloody road accidents by which to satiate herself. Their pansy room mate, played by a rugged, no doubt heterosexual actor, after one mere blow job and twenty years of a 'given' sexuality, simply shrugs it off and has rough sex with the vampire. Eventually the older sister gets a right case of the munchies for him and winds up in the clink. The homosexual in film always gets what's coming to him. Coming of age metaphors abound but Daddy has even more drastic news however... Ok sure, points for the look of the thing, some flashes of style and I liked the music. Oh its French too isn't it? In fact I quite liked watching Raw, I certainly wasn't bored but I still have this nagging feeling I enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons...
