So-so British horror movie, one of a number of genre films made in north Africa in the mid to late sixties. A troubled man (William Sylvester, presumably fairly fresh from 2001: A Space Odyssey) visiting Morocco finds himself torn between a vivacious young French girl and a sultry woman who may or may not be (hint: she is) an ancient vampire.

Admirably serious tone and the central metaphor is coherent, but the problem with a lot of these foreign-shot films is that all the money seems to have gone on plane tickets, and the photography is often primitive and flat (a bit like a travelogue from the Moroccan Tourist Board). The pace is also not all it could be. Some decent bits here and there but the drabness of the film and its lack of incident counts against it. A case of potential not being realised.

Right from the start of Ravage, we are thrown in with a quick but brutal scene that sets the tone of the film, followed by an awesome sunset shot of a character beautifully walking in slow motion towards the camera, accompanied by a superb soundtrack from Jacques Brautbar, we then head to a hospital scene as Harper Sykes (Annabelle Dexter-Jones) is being questioned about what happened to her as they have doubt of her report.

As she gives her report to the officer we have a few flashbacks (which we seem to get in a lot of movies these days), these then take us back to the start of what happened to Harper and while she was on a photography assignment in the woods of the Watchatoomy valley, while there she captures a disturbing event of a man being brutally whipped and beaten in the woods.
