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

Coralie Fargeat also directed The Substance in 2024, with Demi Moore, which was just absolutely fantastic to say the least. When I saw Revenge was her directorial debut, made back in 2017, I watched and it most definitely did not disappoint - I was literally glued to the screen from start to finish. Jen went from a VERY beautiful barbie girl, to an absolute badass, and yes she seriously kicked some ass to say the least. Her transformation, to seek revenge on those three men, was incredible. One was a cheater, the other a rapist and last one allowed these things to happen. I was cheering her on during the movie and, as far as I'm concerned, those guys got what they deserved.
Love this movie so much. Coralie Fargeat never misses! I feel like the people who make comments about the realism of this movie have no sense of imagination, no concept of the fact people survive grisly circumstances in real life and I would love to know if y’all yell into the wind when you watch other action movies
Geat movie, she was class!
3/5
Not great, not terrible, just kinda average. The soundtrack was good.
