Ravenous

Ravenous is a film that stars Guy Pearce and it is about the Wendigo curse that is a Native American myth about how eating another man gives you their essence, making you stronger, but then the more you eat the less satisfied you are until you eventually die.

I heard this movie is pretty cool. I find it interesting that they dwell on the cannibalistic theme employed by some Native American tribes and cultures.
