Review of Revenge (2017) by Legitsalt — 10 Sep 2018

This film could very well be titled "Following blood trails, the Movie" since that is what makes up a majority of its runtime. With that out of the way, this film was a treat to watch. Cinematography, Choreography, Accompanying score, but the delivery by the non-native English speakers was really stilted and awkward.

This film does require one to suspend their disbelief, as it is hardly plausible that the girl would neither die on impact nor from blood loss. Despite this, the scene where the ant is being rained on by blood, and the scene where they are following the blood trails were very well done and helped spice up the shot composition.

The reincorporation that this film used caught me off guard. This is because the way that the drugs were introduced felt truly natural. It felt like an additional factor to accentuate the disparity in wealth and morals between the lead girl and the cast of men.

Even with this being an engaging thriller, I felt it still had something to say. These things being, more or less; wealthy being exempt from laws and not blowing the whistle on others of wealth. Some scenes that I felt embodied this imparticular were the rape scene and the tarantula pee scene.

I thought the dream sequence was really good, and the binoculars transition fit in well too. There was a definite 'man is an animal' motif, that at times was a bit too blatant, but still fitting, and powerful.

The entirety of the third act was good, the false scare with the pool cleaner helped show the tangible nature of the tension at the time. I really enjoyed the use of the tv playing amidst the final chase.

I enjoyed the scene where she was running in circles chasing her limping assailant, this was especially aided by the blood slowly blocking out her vision, and by proxy, the lens too. The ending was quite good with the sudden look back and the helicopter sound.

I recommend this movie to fans if action films and horror films alike. Overall a pretty great movie.
