Country: FR/BEL
Technical: col/2.39:1 108m
Director: Coralie Fargeat
Cast: Matilda Lutz, Kevin Janssens, Vincent Colombe, Guillaume Bouchède
Synopsis:
A faithless husband takes his girlfriend on a lads only hunting trip, and pretty soon she finds herself to be the most plausible bait. Only this bait bites back.
Review:
The Most Dangerous Game for crusading feminists, this preposterous blood-soaked revenge thriller posits a final girl turned indestructible harpy. Objectified in the opening reel, as if to challenge us for our own leering gaze, the heroine then finds herself up against the worm, the fat guy and the alpha male in turn, leaving us with no recourse except to rejoice in their destruction. Fortunately, the film's discourse of realism gives the director plenty of scope to provide exactly that.
