Raw

Julia Ducournau's Raw is the most visceral coming-of-age horror film ever made. A lifelong vegetarian enters veterinary school and, after a hazing ritual involving raw meat, develops an insatiable craving for human flesh. Garance Marillier's Justine navigates desire, identity, and bodily transformation with a performance that is simultaneously repulsive and deeply sympathetic. Ducournau uses cannibalism as a metaphor for sexual awakening with startling precision. The waxing scene that ends in finger-eating is a masterclass in escalating body horror. The final reveal reframes the entire film as a family drama about hereditary appetite.
