“Director Coralie Fargeat goes the full grindhouse with flair, channeling a female gaze and a wicked sense of humor into a rape payback thriller that churns a river of blood.” -- David Rooney, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Coralie Fargeat’s feature directorial debut isn’t only an astonishing, subversive take on tired clichés; it’s also a confidently crafted tale of female survival and rebirth...a different kind of superhero story, where power is found in survival” - Britt Hayes, SCREENCRUSH

“An exploitation movie that knowingly abuses the male gaze and then turns that uncivilized, leering lens on its head, placing us squarely in the shoes of its brutalized angel of vengeance.” --- Jacob Knight, BIRTH.MOVIES.DEATH

“Harrowing and thrilling...ample style, remarkable tension, decidedly French black humor, and more blood than I believe the human body actually contains.” -- Brian Tallerico, ROGEREBERT.COM

Starring Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, Kevin Janssens, Vicent Colombe.

Jen (fearlessly embodied by Matilda Lutz) 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 in the house 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 simultaneously delivering a ferocious dissection of gender and genre.
