| Raw | comment |
Grave (English title Raw) is a Franco-Belgian horror film released in 2017note it was presented at the Cannes festival in 2016. and the debut work of Julia Ducournau. It tells the story of Justine (Garance Marillier), a 16 year old girl entering vet school, which her older sister Alex (Ella Rumpf) also attends. Like the rest of her family, she's a vegetarian. What she didn't know was that her new school had a long tradition of hazing the freshmen, which she finds quite unpleasant, unlike her roommate Adrien (Rabbah Naït Oufellah) who just goes with it uncaringly. It becomes even more unpleasant when all freshmen are ordered to eat a raw rabbit kidney.From then on, something awakens within Justine, who will have to struggle with her new compulsive taste for meat, her growing attraction for her roommate (in more ways than one) and her own sister's dark secret…Has no connection whatsoever to the series Raw. Either of them. | |

| Raw / int_15aa2b3c | comment |
The Confidant: Adrien and Alex play this role in different ways for Justine. The former helps her to fit in, while the latter is the only one who knows about her "little problem". | |

| Raw / int_1e8f4221 | comment |
Fingore: Justine pushes Alex as the latter was handling scissors to cut her pubic hair, which results in a finger flying and Alex passing out. Justine doesn't find ice to preserve the finger while waiting for the doctors and can't resist the urge to eat it. | |

| Raw / int_22071825 | comment |
I'm a Humanitarian: Justine starts out just liking meat in general, but eating her sister's accidentally cut-off finger awakens her taste for human flesh. It turns out It Runs in the Family. | |

Literal Maneater: Sort of, as all protagonists are human. However, cannibalistic urges are portrayed as purely sexual urges and only involve women preying on men. | |

| Raw / int_2dba7575 | comment |
Wacky Fratboy Hijinx: All of the students at the veterinary college belong a group that involves extensive hazing rituals, hierarchies of seniority, and frequent parties/drug raves/near-orgies. All of this seems to pervade practically every aspect of college life at the school. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Raw / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending : Adrien is killed and eaten by Alex. Alex is arrested for the murder and sent to prison. Justine is sent home where her father reveals that the cannibalism in the two sisters is inherited from their mother, who has been feeding on their father in order to satiate her urges. Not only is there no cure, but Justine realizes that she too must find a way to curb her hunger, lest she suffer the same fate as Alex. Whether she's able to or not is ambiguous thanks to the abruptness of the ending. | |

Psychological Horror | |
| Raw / int_4e3e577a | comment |
Psychological Horror: Despite the theme, the use of gore in the film is not gratuitous. There is a heavy focus on Justine's internal turmoil and attempts to fight back her own nature, but also to adapt to her new environment as she's much younger than the other students. | |

Eating the Eye Candy | |
| Raw / int_68424916 | comment |
Eating the Eye Candy: Darkly played with. Watching Adrien play a football game shirtless, Justine spends a looong time ogling his muscles, to the point of having a Nose Bleed. It's quite clear that she's struggling to not eat him more than figuratively. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Raw / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The opening scene where Justine's mom lashes out on a restaurant employee for letting a meat ball slip into her daughter plate. She appears as a slightly obnoxious Straw Vegetarian, but... The Reveal shows that she has knowingly maintained her daughters on a very strict vegetarian diet because cannibalism is familial. A second foreshadowing happens when Justine bites off the lip of a fellow student. It foreshadows the origin of her father's lip scar. | |

Pet the Dog: One of the most sadistic examples of this trope, if not THE most sadistic. Alex sees Justine eating her severed finger, but protects her, anyway, telling their parents that Quicky ate it. This move ends up getting Quicky put down. | |
