OMG - I WAS NOT READY. WOWSERS! STILL IN SHOCK. F A N T A S T I C...
great movie
A slow burning masterpiece. This was a fantastic movie from all the twists in the story to the slow suspenseful build ups this was truly a great film. I read another comment that said this reminded them of Tarantino’s work and I can see the resemblance. There are all sorts of crazy camera angles a very bleak atmosphere and story and a lot of crazy plot twists that I didn’t see coming. Overall there’s nothing bad I can say about this movie although if you aren’t a fan of slow pacing in movies you might not like it. Definitely a 5/5 would recommend it.
okay
This is definitely my favorite in the "Revenge" trilogy! You can understand each of the main characters' motivations and actions. I know that a lot of people say that this isn't a horror, but I consider it it's own horror. Vengence and wrath can bring about it's own horror. That's the lesson I take away from the movie.
