Stomach-churning festival hit Raw storms theaters this Spring

Raw TIFF

The French cannibal flick RAW is a lot of things. It's the feature debut of writer/director Julia Ducournau, for one. It's also this year's most notorious festival hit, with reports of audience members fainting at the film's TIFF screening. It's also coming to a theater near you this Spring! Well, relatively near.

Obviously the multiplexes aren't touching this one with a twenty foot pole, but Focus World is putting it out in select U.S. cities starting March 10, 2017, with a VOD release to follow in the Summer. Do you have the steel stomach required to check this one out? You can find out in Spring!

RAW stars Garance Marillier as:

the teenaged Justine, who commences her studies at veterinary school to follow in her family members’ footsteps. Raised as a vegetarian, Justine is pressured at school to try meat for the first time. Once she does, she plumbs both the depths of her own soul and tests the limits of her darkest cravings.

Marillier's co-stars include Ella Rumpf, Rabah Nait Oufella, and Laurent Lucas.
