Release Date May 11th, 2018 (Shudder | DVD & On-Demand)
Written and directed by Coralie Fargeat, Revenge is a tense thriller about a woman who finds herself literally fighting for her life after taking what was meant to be a romantic getaway. I picked this hidden gem up as a rental (I heard about it previously) knowing that it had great reviews from critics so I wanted to check it out for myself. This is a very well-acted indie thriller but it does require a very strong stomach as it is extremely graphic. I was extremely impressed with director Coralie Fargeat and her unique directing style. You can find Revenge for rental either on disc or On-Demand, it should also be available on Shudder. Check out the official trailer for yourself below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, Revenge:
The film features so much blood that, according to director Coralie Fargeat, the prop team would often run out of fake blood.
The music was inspired by the works of John Carpenter, Etienne Jaumet, and Thomas Bangalter.
Coralie Fargeat mentioned Wild at Heart (1990), Drive (2011), Under the Skin (2013), and the films of David Cronenberg as references for the film in her pitch to potential financiers.
