How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A visceral, escalating revenge thriller that transforms vulnerability into fury, unflinching in its depiction of violence and retribution in a bleached desert landscape. This is a film that makes its violence purposeful rather than gratuitous, turning genre conventions inside out.

pretty much everything everyone has already said.
pretty good subversion of the rape revenge genre.
it doesn't really have great characters but it didn't need to have an exploration of its character for us to emotionally connect with her.
the film doesn't pretend that its anything but a film about survival. its never shot or at least i never felt like the camera and jen felt violent but rather they just want to get out of there.

This was one of those films that Shudder used social media to shove down our throats. And you know what? It was totally worth it. Aside from a beautiful, colorful setting, the cinematography and acting were fantastic. Also, the blood kept coming, which made one person in this household happy.
