Entertaining splattery revenge flick with much quality b-movie energy as opposed to the retro exploitation that is en vogue. Stands surprisingly well without being cheesy or relying on the charm of schlock, despite the somewhat melodramatic first act, at times intentional but also when not. Lulu Wilson does a great job in the lead, everybody else deliver what is expected from their characters quite sufficiently for the movie it is. Neat teasearoo with the never revealed significance of the valknut, but I'm worried it will be spoiled in the sequel that I am yet to watch. Summarum it's not particularly smart nor complicated, not that everything needs to be, but a sort of mature movie in it's tradition. It's straightforward and relies on the audience to follow along and deal with whatever subtle references, subversive and deadpan elements that comes along without making a deal about it. It delivers what it is supposed to and I like it.
