Coralie Fargeat’s debut feature Revenge is a fast-paced, gory and decidedly unapologetic body horror film which manages to incorporate a strong feminist message into an otherwise unabashedly violent genre movie. Written, as well as directed, by Fargeat the film packs more punches than your average Hollywood action flick, and is surprisingly unafraid to show its subversive horror credentials all the while making a strong case for the need for more female-led genre films, particularly in the current climate.
Jen (Matilda Lutz) is happily enjoying an illicit getaway with her married boyfriend Richard (Kevin Janssens) when the lovers are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Richard’s sleazy hunting buddies Stan (Vincent Colombe) and Dimitri (Guillaume Bouchède). After a night of heavy drinking and high-jinx, tensions rise between Jen and one of the unexpected guests, all of which culminates in a shocking act of violence against the young woman, leaving her for dead.
