————————————————————————

This is a revenge tale as well as a science fiction tale with a bit of body Horror thrown in. 

The film Feels cruel yet sensitive as while most of the characters are cruel. Only one of them truly deserves what happens to them.

Not to mention you generally have symoathy for the main character throughout. So much so that even some of the kills that occur. You might find yourself thinking of a defense for her.

Other Then that story wise, it’s pretty basic with an original ending that seems to match the cruelty of the rest of the film.

Leaving it is a kind of tales from the crypt twists. It pulls you in with its underdog tale and stays inventive while giving the various actresses not only more screen time to shine, but allows them to show range.

 A fun ride on a punishing road.

Grade: C+
