If you like a good crazy revenge thriller, you're gonna love the hell out of Revenge. I saw this movie at Sundance and it was a wickedly brutal bloodbath of survival. Today we have a new red-band trailer to share with you that gives us just a little taste of the insanity that this movie has to offer.
The story follows a young woman who is left for dead in the desert but she comes back to unleash hell on the people who violently assaulted her. Here's the synopsis:
Debut director Coralie Fargeat announces her stunning arrival, painting a crimson canvas of hypnotic beauty and bloody retribution in this razor-sharp feminist subversion of the revenge-thriller.Jen (fearlessly embodied by Matilda Lutz, Rings) is enjoying a romantic getaway with her wealthy boyfriend which is suddenly disrupted when his sleazy friends arrive for an unannounced hunting trip. Tension mounts in the house...

While Shudder acquired rights to the buzzed-about movie Revenge back in August, Neon and the AMC-owned streaming service are teaming up for a new agreement that will allow the former to give the movie a North American theatrical release before it streams exclusively on the latter.
Deadline reported the latest rights news for Revenge, which is currently being shown as part of the Midnight section at the Sundance Film Festival. Another entry in the Midnight section, Assassination Nation, was also picked up by Neon (along with Agbo) for theatrical distribution.
Given a 4 out of 5 score by Daily Dead Managing Editor Heather Wixson in her Fantastic Fest review, Revenge has been taking the festival circuit by storm as a must-watch cinematic experience, and we're excited that Daily Dead readers will not only be able to watch it on Shudder (likely sometime this year), but will also now get to see it on the big screen.

A trailer was just released for a crazy and brutal looking revenge thriller called Revenge. The movie is set to screen later this month at Sundance and you can bet your ass that I'm going to watch it! it seriously looks like one hell of a wild and intense ride! It pretty much follows a young woman who is left for dead in the desert, but comes back to unleash hell on the people who violently assaulted her. Here's the synopsis:
Jen joins her married lover, Richard, for a romp at his secluded desert villa before his annual hunting vacation. However, when his leering pals arrive, they¹re a far cry from Richard¹s millionaire-Adonis charms, and they feel entitled to make their own advances on Jen and ignore her rejections. After being violently assaulted and left for dead in the middle of the desert, Jen comes back to life,...
