Revenge

Having just seen the Substance, I went back to watch this earlier work. She has a very distinct style with so much gore and blood, you have to suspend reason and what you know about anatomy. The advantage is that scenes can go on like a carnival ride despite feeling sick. And, yet, her stories work. There's a kind of professionalism from those in front of and behind the camera that has a magnetic effect on the viewer. Holding your attention is something that conventional film often lose with incoherent action scenes and dialog that's chock full of cliches. What i have to say is I think she's getting better. As for this earlier work, the title says it all, but it's a good ride.

Essentially, "Revenge" is nothing more than "I Spit On Your Grave IV." A bunch of bad guys get their comeuppance from a young lady seeking revenge. This film, though, had more blood in it than a Midwest slaughter house at Chrismastime. Boy, was it gory.

And unbelievable. There are some things you'll see that just wouldn't pan out in real life, but this is the movies, right? Where the unbelievable happens? Like the SONY logo says: Make. Believe.

I believe I saw the unrated version. If it wasn't then I guess the R rated one left all the nasty bits intact, which is surprising because censor boards have been known to blacklist films with this much violence. If you're a fan of L'Intereur, I Spit On Your Grave, Ichi The Killer, Martyrs, Irreversible, etc., you won't be disappointed.

Just love that line. This is a kick-ass blood bath revenge movie.

Should you take it seriously? For sure not! But in its genre, it is a well constructed movie that you cannot stop watching until the end. The cat and the mouses are in the maze. She would paint it all red for you, eating them one by one.

It's a polarizing movie, so don't expect a fair rating for it. People hate it or love it. But one thing for sure the cinematography is just spectacular, whatever you think of the story.

This became instantly one of my all time favorites. I've seen over 2k movies. I would use that film to teach tension at film school. Modern masterpiece. This was so unsettling from the very beginning. I wanted it to be over and to never end at the same time. Loved it. Must watch. If you can't see blood, this one is not for you. It felt like Mad Max, Home alone and Die hard had a threesome.

..like a kid back in the 80's,going to the videostore and picking up a VHS and watching it with red ears. Yes sure,..plotholes all over the place. And zero storyline. Just revenge... But the beautful shots,the music,the tension,the insane gore. No Hollywood blockbuster, But the perfect Bmovie.
