'Revenge' (2018) by Coralie Fargeat

Vibe: "Revenge" is bloody, disturbing, tense, and highly stylized. This is the most violent film I've seen in quite some time and I made the idiotic mistake of watching before going to sleep. I had a nightmare that someone entered my room through a sliding glass
