Raw is destined to become one of 2017's most talked about horrors.

The directorial debut of Julia Ducournau, the French-Belgian cannibal film caused quite the stir during its Midnight Madness screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, during which multiple audience members either passed and/or reportedly vomited in the cinema.

The film follows Justine, whose entire family are both veterinarians and vegetarians; she arrives at veterinary school only to enter a decadent, seductive world which leads her to stray from her strict dietary principles.

However, she soon finds out there are unexpected consequences to her actions, ones that soon unveil the nature of her true self.

The film was first screened in the International Critics' Week section of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival where it won the prestigious FIPRESCI prize; later winning the Sutherland Award, for the most original and imaginative first feature at the London Film Festival.

Raw hits UK cinemas 7 April.
