Storyline
Raised as a rigorous vegetarian, doe-eyed freshman Justine is sent off to the reputable Saint-Exupéry Veterinary School where the black sheep of the family, her big sister, Alexia is already studying. As she leaves the family home, Justine abruptly moves into a mad new world of strange school traditions and vicious initiation tests and before long, she will have to chew over her unshakable herbivorous beliefs. More and more as Justine descends deeper and deeper into a hidden world of uncharted animalistic tendencies, an unprecedented and equally morbid craving for raw meat will transform her into something she would have never expected. Now that Justine's corporeal awakening is finally complete, is there any point in denying her hunger for raw flesh?! —Nick Riganas

- GoofsIn the end it is revealed that Justine's mother has the same cannibalistic tendencies as her and that her parents wanted to protect Justine by raising her as a vegetarian. However, her parents also sent her to the school where they went and knew the initiation required her to eat meat.

Raw
At first I was hesitant about watching this film. It took me a long time until I gave it a shot. The film is very well directed, performed and filmed. If you are into horror, give this one a shot... you won't regret it, but be aware it is not a mainstream plotless, full of jump scares and CGI flick but more of an artistic, slow burn and ambiguous one.
