Revenge

Revenge. Pain and trauma enacting more pain and trauma. My favourite revenge films are typically women getting revenge against men who are really just symbols of the patriarchy, but there are notable exceptions.

The Princess Bride
★★★★★

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Matilda

A film that is not necessarily bloody but Matilda sure does get her revenge.

Gone Girl
★★★★

Can marriage kill a person? And who pays for that crime?

Diabolique

A film with twists and turns, but who gets the final act of revenge?

The Lady Eve
★★★★★

The revenge is not as bloody as most revenge films, but it's a revenge film nonetheless. And it is too charming not to be included.

The Sting
★★★★½

There is no better duo then Paul Newman and Robert Redford.
