Directed by Antonia Bird • 1999 • United States, United Kingdom
Starring Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, David Arquette

On the eve of the California gold rush, a disgraced soldier (Guy Pearce) is dispatched to a remote outpost in the Sierra Nevada, where he finds himself surrounded by cast-off men who gradually develop a taste for human flesh. Mixing pitch-black comedy with unrepentant gore, the late, unsung director Antonia Bird fashions a totally twisted, wickedly subversive cannibal comedy that deserves to be more than just a cult classic, featuring a one-of-a-kind score by Michael Nyman and Blur’s Damon Albarn.
