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

A like a little reality in my story telling. It’s physically impossible to do what she did after what happened to her. I understand it’s cinema but it became a parody. If you can move beyond the ridiculous nature of her rising, the story and rest of the film are solid.
We have to suspend our disbelief when watching films, I’ve seen Jonah Hill hook up with Emma Stone so I get it, but some of this was hard to swallow. Nevertheless I really enjoyed it and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re in the mood for bloody revenge.
Nice fresh take on I Spit on Your Grave formula. Can see the parallels to Substance now
Excellent first outing from the director of The Substance. I like revenge thrillers when done well and this one was done really well.
For feminazis and regular, non-male hating cinephiles alike!
