Ravage
review by Mike Haberfelner

The Corona Virus has done its fair share in deteriorating civilisation
from day 1, but CV5, it's latest and most dangerous strain with its
ability to zombify has finally succeeded in bringing it down completely
and turning humans as such into an everyone-for-themseves creature, which
saw all our achievements crumble and evaporate. It's survival of the
fittest, but unfortunately the fittest aren't always the best, as
marauders, cannibals, sadists and misogynists see their cards on the rise,
often driven by conspiracy theorists who tell them what they want. But
nobody's better equipped for survival than Dean (Jake Scozzaro), who
suffers from multiple personality disorder, but many of his personalities
are as violent and lethal as anybody out there, which gives him a
dangerous advantage ... Now Ravage Nation sheds a very
cynical light at humankind as such, but seeing how we've collectively
(mis-)handled the Covid scare not at all an unfair one. But Ravage
Nation is not a film to preach but rather entertain, so it tells its
story in several vignettes, some shocking, some actually darkly humourous,
that all portray a world gone to the dogs, but that are directed by a sure
hand with a feel for atmosphere and a certain light-footedness about them.
That said, this still isn't a film for the faint-of-heart as several
scenes set out to shock, but it's cool genre entertainment, and a film
that sure makes one think.
