Revenge
Directed by Coralie Fargeat
Jen is enjoying a romantic getaway with her wealthy boyfriend, which is suddenly disrupted when his sleazy friends arrive for an unannounced hunting trip. Tension mounts until the situation abruptly––and viciously––intensifies, culminating in a shocking act that leaves Jen left for dead. Unfortunately for her assailants, Jen survives and reemerges with a relentless, wrathful intent: revenge. A white-knuckle tale of transgression and transformation, REVENGE gloriously blurs the lines of vengeance and survival while delivering a ferocious dissection of gender and genre. Director Coralie Fargeat announces her stunning arrival, painting a crimson canvas of hypnotic beauty and bloody retribution in this razor-sharp feminist subversion of the revenge-thriller. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL.
A young woman takes vengeance on the three married men who left her for dead in the bold, bloody debut from director Coralie Fargeat.
Cast: Matilda Lutz, Kevin Janssens, Vincent Colombe, Guillaume Bouchede, Jean-Louis Tribes

Jen’s an absolute badass!
On the edge of my seat. Didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by the pace and plots. Some great love to hate characters.
fun movie. The last 15 minutes are awesome. aside from the guy hanging dong and the disappointing size.
This is one of my favorite movies here! It takes a genre that, while typically having good intentions, is often too exploitive and needlessly salacious and cruel towards. Though Jen isn't the most layered protagonist, she doesn't need to be for us to root for her. She's a flawed person who nonetheless is deserving of dignity, respect, and safety and still incredibly human. We empathize with her pain and trauma and we cheer as she rises against the men who caused her suffering through their own selfishness and perversion.
Brilliant movie!
