No. 22 (2019) Revenge. March 10th.


Film No 22 (2019) March 10th.  8:15 PM Private Preview Screening @ Home via Vimeo link . 



"Why must women always have to put up a fight?".(Richard stares threateningly into the eyes of Jen as blood and sweat drips from his brow).






Don't you just love it, Revenge. It's a word in cinema terms that screams out for someone to pay a price. In this French/Belgium production viewers need to be warned that Revenge plays out as a super/hero fantasy (with gore, lots of gore) and you bet; there are prices, let me repeat prices to pay. Matilda Lutz plays Jen the beautiful blonde bombshell accompanying family man Richard (Kevin Janzzen) on a hunting trip. Jen is there as his "play thing" but the mood changes when his buddies Stan and Dimitri arrive. Revenge is a B Grade gore fest but the lovers of this genre will rejoice. It's rich colour hues (deep blue and reds) tantalize and the make-up special effects (Laetifia Quilley) will have you squirming uncontrollably. The fear of stepping on glass may become your phobia after Revenge.  This is not a genre I love but devotees are going to have a contrary view. Oh, and if you are OCD about cleaning, give Revenge a wide berth. 8GUMS.
