Review: Raw (2016)

Article by Mike Bryan, Jr.

Julia Ducournau’s 2016 horror flick Raw (or Grave, as it is known in its home country) continues the unique trend of mixing deep-rooted psychological issues with grisly and cruel imagery that blends psychological storytelling and grisly body horror, in a tradition of modern French horror flicks that pertain to the New French Extremity movement. If that is an unfamiliar term, it is a movement that focuses on body horror (both in physicality and psychology) that normally critiques the society of France for as long as the movement itself has existed (which would be around 2000). Think of it as Hostel but more interesting and making a point. Garance Marillier plays Justine, a freshman starting out her first semester at veterinarian school amid a whirlwind of hazing rituals. She is the youngest of two children to a radically vegetarian mother (who has strictly enforced her “no meat” policy on her kids) and a father who seems rather pragmatic of this kind of parenting. Her sister Alexia (played by Ella Rumpf) is one of the upperclassmen hazing the recruits, but also helps Justine with making it through the hellish ordeal.

It is after one of the rituals, when the freshmen are each forced to eat a rabbit kidney, that Justine notices something different about her. She begins to crave meat of all kinds. It starts with her tasting regular meats and even stealing a burger patty at one point. But things start to take a grisly turn when Alexia tries to fix a botched attempt at waxing Justine’s pubic hair with a pair of scissors. The attempt ends with Justine causing Alexia to lose a finger, as well as Justine having her initial taste of human flesh. 

 The score for the film was composed by Jim Williams who expertly matches the score’s tempo and timing with the atmosphere of the film. Though it is saturated with a sinister-sounding techno synth ambience seen before in recent horror films such as the 2014 film It Follows and the more widely-known 2016 series Stranger Things, it still fits well with the imagery throughout the film. It would be nice for a more unique sound, but at least it still follows a popular trend in current horror films. 

 The cinematography adds a feel of gloom to the world. Rarely (if at all) is there any sunlight in the exterior shots. The most interesting aspect of the cinematography to point out is how the camera depicts the aftermath of devouring human flesh.  Rather than taking an even more graphic route (more so than it already is) of showing something along the lines of the physical tearing of human muscle or anything up close and physical, there is always the depiction of blood smudged all over the lips and generally the face.  This very image invokes something akin to a young child satisfied with spaghetti.  Their satisfaction of this food they’ve probably started eating only recently usually shown in the form of marinara sauce all around their face is called back when we see Justine’s hunger satiated with her face (more so around her mouth) smeared with blood.  Sadly, this is the most interesting factor that separates the cinematography of Raw from other movies of the New French Extremity, and not so much from other horror films in general. 

 Raw has an amazing blend of story and viscera, daring to leave the audience scratching heads up until the conclusion, when it all makes sense.  Where it excels with story and atmosphere, it stays under, yet close to the bar when it comes to cinematography and score (it’s still a damn good score, though).  For American audiences, the film has finally been released on home media formats, and can be streamed on Netflix (in case the subtle release was too “here today, gone tomorrow”).  If you’re looking for a scary psychological horror to watch this Halloween, why not give Raw a taste?  As for me, I give it 3.5 out of 4 devoured limbs.

Thank you for reading.  Happy Halloween.  And make the best of this… Shocktober! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Before and after editing. 

Blur (a mix of motion blur and out of focus effects) + an overlay of soft film like texture, plus a slight saturation boost.

“You know what I say? I say one down, a couple hundred thousand to go. I don’t mean to get on my high horse, but I’m telling you, I do not like the deer. I’m sick of it; they’re taking over. They’re like rats. They’re destroying the ecosystem. I see a dead deer on the side of the road and I think, “That’s a start.”
