Best Served In Hot Desert Sands


Why serve your dish of revenge cold when you could serve it up in a long weekend in the desert with literally buckets of blood.

Coralie Fargeat's debut feature film is a genre film that does exactly what it says in the title yet still is one of the best films of 2018 and feels like a new take on the male gaze drenched revenge thriller. This was one of the first films to be showcased by Birds Eye View's Reclaim the Frame campaign which has now reached new heights even in the current state of things.

'Revenge' was given the limited edition treatment by Second Sight Films recently, in the form of a delightfully shiny new Blu-ray release, with poster and booklet featuring new artwork. As I do very much enjoy special editions, I have loved the past releases from this distributor, appreciating that 'Revenge' was given this attention.

If you want to see what all the fuss is about you can read my review on Vulturehound HERE or you can get yourself a copy of the film HERE.
