Review

better than the original because of its pacing and the fact that it’s a more thoughtful picture. it follows in the tradition of the 70s revenge films (i spit on your grave, thriller, last house on the left, etc.) which is marked by strong female characters who are victimized, but then go out and revenge their victimizers. lauren german does a good job as the lead. it explores the darker motivations of humanity and the idle rich.
