Blu-ray Review - Revenge (1986)
January 18, 2025
1986's "Revenge" is the third film from writer/director Christopher Lewis and his United Entertainment Pictures, with the company aiming to provide low-budget productions for the burgeoning home video rental marketplace. It's a sequel to 1985's "Blood Cult" (which isn't included in the "Home Grown Horrors: Volume 3" set), providing a new chapter in the saga of a serial killer who appears to be working toward an end game with his violence, putting a widow and a concerned sibling on the case to stop this reign of terror. Lewis doesn't have much in the way of style or suspense for the endeavor, which plods along in detective mode for far too long. Viciousness makes basically a cameo in the movie, with "Revenge" trying to generate an air of unease as cult activity is uncovered by the main characters, with Lewis unsure how to work surprises into the feature, which could definitely use more shock value to help engage viewers.
