Revenge (2017)
As you can probably guess from the title this is a revenge thriller about a girl left for dead in the desert by three hunters out for a weekends sport. However she's not quite dead, how i really don't know, but she quickly recovers and seeks vengeance.
This is one classy French film. The desert landscapes are bleak yet the film is one that's all out sensory overload for the viewer with it's sound-scapes and interesting photography. Whilst very much an exploitation film it definitely has a feminist slant to it all. There's plenty of nudity on offer especially during the final showdown except, and Justin will be pleased, it's not female nudity (Boo!) it's male. Ten solid minutes of it in a bullet strewn climax.
Although not as extreme in the violence stakes as say Terrifier 2 there's some very strong blood and guts on offer. I actually gagged and felt sick during the protracted 'foot scene'. Seriously you need to see it for yourself.
Needless to say i was well impressed by Revenge and highly recommend it. One to upgrade to Blu-ray 100%
