What happens when a stout vegetarian eats meat for the first time in their life?

It's the question that Raw asks and answers in one horrifying swoop, telling the story of veterinary student Justine, who is drawn into a whole new world at her medical school and decides to eat raw meat to fit in. Little does she know that it will spark an insatiable hunger in her, however, revealing a true, darker sense of self and unleashing consequences that come with consuming flesh.

Raw is one of those films that dares you to watch as it becomes weirder and weirder. With a taste for human meat in particular, Justine's descent into cannibalism is meticulously documented - withe everything from blood to bikini lines rendered unsafe to be anywhere near Justine's uncontrollable appetite. It's uncomfortable, gross, and will definitely make you think twice about that steak you were considering for tea. Just stick to the broccoli and be thankful you don't have to eat fingers.
