That was an excellent one.

People are voting emotionally.

Nice effects though.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

What sort of a world are we living in when the best thing men of a certain type can think of doing with young, attractive blondes is to rape them repeatedly then murder them? Thankfully the rapes are only implied, and they don't get around to the murders because the damsels escape.Those of a certain vintage will see the parallels with the 1978 film "I Spit On Your Grave", which was very controversial at the time. Forty years on, films of that genre have long since ceased to shock. Here we have two damsels exacting a bloody revenge on their abusers and would-be killers, and they don't do it by halves. The soundtrack isn't bad, and the cameos are quite good, especially the one with the twin elderly clerks: "My next ride is your Mom", indeed.This began as a thriller, turned into horror, then turned again, to black comedy. And they all lived happily ever after. Those who didn't die an excruciatingly painful death, one in the fashion of Edward II.

While a bit slow for the set up, the film builds momentum and delivers on the promise! It's a revenge porn movie, you know the trope, but it works. The two leads have a erotic chemistry and work well together and the film plays as an unquestionable thriller drama with only a smattering of camp, which hits it at a comedic level without taking you out of the moment of the thriller. The other cast members are solid for their roles in a way we've come to expect. My only issue was with the uncle cop. why not weak, I just would have cast someone a little different. I think he comes out just mildly earnest. It's a smarter film that will surely not disappoint and well worth the distraction with strong female characters and a scenario that would make the writers of Deliverance blush.Worth watching for all, not just genre fans.

Two young women, Sloane and Katie, head out to rural America to work on an eco farm. They need the money so they can go on a shopping holiday to New York. They are offered a ride to the farm by some friendly local young men. Turns out the men's intentions aren't all friendly and they are soon held prisoner by them. They escape and plan their revenge. Meanwhile, the uncle of one of the girls, an FBI detective, suspects something is wrong and comes looking for them.Pretty much your standard kidnapped captive-gets-revenge movie, a la I Spit On Your Grave, except this time there's two captives. Set up is good though and the movie moves along at a very good pace.The pace is maybe too fast though. Editing is a bit choppy and weird, meaning you are suddenly fast-forwarded (figuratively) through a scene when a slower pace would have prevented confusion.Some contrivances too which ruin the plot somewhat. The movie had a grittiness to start off with but there were too many outs in the plot development to sustain that.Some good action scenes though and the revenge is sweet. Never dull.

So we have two girls, taking time off between college and grad school, take jobs on an organic farm out near the middle of nowhere Washington. While in town awaiting the bus to the farm the girls meet a couple of guys. After a bit of flirting they are getting in the truck headed to the farm, or are they. No, these guys, good looking, charming are psychopathic sadists. The girls are drugged and chained in ISO containers. Awakening to the chains and captivity is immediately followed by johns who come to rape and torture the girls. I have to give the filmmakers credit, we do not have to suffer the graphic torture, we do see a couple shots, then music and screaming activates our imaginations.After a while the girls escape. They run directly to town in the dead sheriff's car to buy tools to end this sex trafficking cult completely, once and for all.All in all, I liked this movie so much better this time than when I watched it several months ago
