The synopsis on shudder.com says, "...that turns the conventions of horror and coming-of-age movies - not to mention bad boy behavior and rape culture - on their heads."
Are you fucking kidding me? On its head? How the fuck is that?
SPOILERS:
Because she gets free and kills her captors? She was still raped repeatedly, beaten repeatedly, shot, and poked. This isn't rape culture turned on its head, its an example of it. Bad boy behavior? Its sadistic vile behavior.
Anyway, pass on this film.

I know, reviews like that piss me off. Film sounds cliche without having any significance, just same ole torture porn. Film critics are supposed to be well schooled in film history, but unless it's a major news outlet, the reviewer probably is not. Plus all the more 'online' reviews are just movie advertisements.
