3. Ravenous (1999)
Ravenous is inspired by Alfred Packer who was probably the most widely known cannibal in America in the late 1800s. He was going to the gold mines of Colorado in 1874 along with five other prospectors before deciding to continue their journey during the winter instead of taking shelter until spring, a decision that led to the death of everyone except Packer.
He was questioned later and said that one of the prospectors murdered the others and attacked him with a hatchet, so he killed him in self-defense. A while later, he was living in the Los Pinos Indian Agency and strips of human flesh were discovered. He was charged with both murder and cannibalism to which he confessed.
