70 MORE Underappreciated Horror Movies (71 movies items)"A beautifully shot rape-revenge film that somehow manages to reign in its exploitative nature by being an incisive jab at rape-culture among men. Stunning photography contrasts gruesome imagery to the sound of a retro-synth inspired score in this excellent addition to the French horror movement. "
“The New French Extremity movement in horror cinema brought us minted classics like "High Tension", "Inside", and "Martyrs" and while many struggled to find value among the pronounced visceral elements, others espoused their merits openly. The evolution of the subgenre eventually led to films like "RAW" which cemented its legacy as a legitimate art form rather than violence for violence's sake.
"Revenge" seems poised to join its compatriots as a memorable classic even as it gathers accolade after accolade from critics near and far but is it worthy of that status? The short answer is yes but, like the movie itself, not everything is as simple as it looks.

Movies the giraffe watched in 2018: May (29 movies items)"First viewing - May 29th I've seen some positive things about Revenge lately, and holy hell did it deliver. I never caught a trailer for it, so I went into it blind. Now I'll concede that after the first 30 minutes you can pretty well figure out where it's headed, but how we get there is never obvious which is much appreciated. The effects are particularly impressive and occasionally tough to watch, and the film feels timely, almost like a fantasy film for the #MeToo movement. It helps that it'"
