Just posting this now because I saw the other day that it hadn't been posted before.

I saw this years ago and still think about it. I remember a feminist co-worker/friend recommending it to me because she knew I loved horror. I was hesitant; rape-revenge thrillers aren't generally the sort of thing I go for, but this one is very good, I think. It's more brutal than many, and mercifully is very much not the "male gaze" approach to the subject which makes some of the works in the subgenre problematic.

Just wanted to add that this is from Coralie Feargat, writer/director of The Substance, should that help anyone decide.

I saw this back when it first appeared on Shudder— I don’t remember it well, but remember liking it. I look forward to revisiting it post-Substance.

Very trashy exploitation film (a good thing IMO) with more going on then you'd expect. Shot well and well put together. Like Substance, it is very gruesomely over the top and anatomically preposterous (you've been warned).
