It is great news seeing how France is still one of the best exporters of brutal films. The one we have in hands right now, Revenge (2017), is the debut feature for Coralie Fargeat, who also wrote the script. The star of this flick is a young Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz, who is expected to become a kick ass female blood hunter. The movie will premiere this September the 11th at the Toronto International Film Festival, as part of the Midnight Madness program.
The official plot description for Revenge (2017) reads “three wealthy, middle-aged CEOs – all married family men – get together for their annual hunting game in a desert canyon. It’s a way for them to let off steam and affirm their manhood with guns. But this time, one of them has come along with his young mistress, a sexy Lolita who quickly arouses the interest of the two others… Things get out of hand… Left for dead in the middle of this arid hell, the young woman comes back to life, and the hunting game turns into a ruthless manhunt”. It somehow reminds of some sort of I Spit on Your Grave (1978), which is good. This kind of after sex assault revenge formula always works. And the bloodiest, the better!
