11.15.19Internet Didn't get around to this one during DVRfest... I actually have a bit of a list of films like this so I might try to clear these up at some point... have a mini fest or something... a DVRfest for DVRfest movies.

Anyway, this was kind of an interesting take on the rape revenge genre just due to color palette and minimal dialogue. It definitely chooses style over realism as I had to actively ignore all the little nitpicks that are probably impossible. Also, the lead is very pretty but I'm not sure what kind of actress she is. She's definitely a sport for being coated in fake blood and spending the entire movie in her underwear, but I think there's maybe a reason why she almost never speaks?

The movie kind of deflated at around the half way mark for me. By the end, things were so ridiculous... I was not into it at all. I respect the choices that the movie makes, but I'm not really into them. If we're going Peter Jackson overboard then let's go overboard, but that kind of gore is incompatible with real emotion.
