If you read any of my reviews from this years London FrightFest you’ll know that there was a distinct trend of strong women running throughout a number of the films screened at the festival. Whilst Bound to Vengeance was not part of the event, it does continues the fantastic, and frankly refreshing, trend… José Manuel Cravioto’s film also shares a lot in common with Last Girl Standing, in that it focuses on what happens After your usual horror tale has ended. In this case, what happens after the final girl escapes her captors; asking just how does she move on from her ordeal?

The tables are turned, but this horror is no less distasteful – and no more believable – for the fact that it’s a female character who holds all the weapons
The aim is laudable enough: to subvert the depressingly popular girl-imprisoned-and-tortured genre, and put the power in the hands of the victim. Director José Manuel Cravioto doesn’t show the abduction of 21-year-old Eve (Tina Ivlev), nor does he get into the specifics of her maltreatment at the hands of grubby perv Phil (Richard Tyson). For that, we must be grateful. But her escape and subsequent race against time to free Phil’s other female prisoners takes us to places that are no less distasteful for the fact that it is her holding the gun rather than him.
It’s effectively a treasure hunt for scantily clad chicks in chains, interspersed with video footage of Eve and her boyfriend Ronnie (Kristoffer Kjornes) in happier times.
