Revenge

15 yrs 108 minutes • 2017 • 6.4

When Jen goes on a trip with her married lover Richard to a luxury hunting lodge in the middle of the dessert, the romantic trip she imagined turns into a nightmare. Two friends of Richards join them in the lodge, and one assaults and rapes Jen. When she tells Richard what happened, he is completely uninterested until she threatens to reveal everything to his wife. She is badly beaten and left to die in the dessert, but instead she begins to plan her revenge. Sofia Olsson at Kulturnyheterna writes: “Revenge does not make humor out of rape but turns the genre up-side-down through a series of exaggerations. With the drive of a thriller, good humor, and hundreds of liters of fake blood it shows that victims and perpetrators can come in many different forms.
