* LawOfInverseRecoil: Averted, as recoil is portrayed fairly realistically. In particular, the first time Jen fires Dimi's Mossberg 590 shotgun, she completely unprepared for the recoil and it knocks her flat on her ass. The shot goes wild and wings Stan in the shoulder, rather than hitting him in the head. (It should be noted that Dimi, she FatBastard she took it off, was much heavier than the slight Jen.)

* OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank: Everyone who is wounded loses a huge amount of blood. The film features so much blood that, according to director Coralie Fargeat, the prop team would often run out of fake blood. Jen should have bled out somewhere between the canyon and the lake, judging from the TrailOfBlood her pursuers follow. Richard is even worse. While playing cat-and-mouse with Jen in the house, he loses so much blood that it pools deeply on the wooden floor and makes it impossible for Jen to maintain her footing in the corridor.

* TrailOfBlood: This happens on three occasions. The first time, the villains follow Jen's blood trail from the canyon to the lake, where she loses them by entering the water. In the other two, Jen gets in the first shot, then follows the blood trail only to find the man has doubled back and is waiting in ambush. The first time she only survives because he's been shot in the shoulder and can't aim properly. The second time she's more wary and sees the blood flowing from where he's concealed himself behind the doorway, despite a clear blood trail [[FakeoutEscape leading across the room to the window]].

''Revenge'' is a 2017 French rape and revenge action horror film written and directed by Coralie Fargeat, and starring Matilda Lutz, Kevin Janssens, Vincent Colombe and Guillaume Bouchède.

Jen is enjoying a romantic getaway with her wealthy boyfriend which is suddenly disrupted when his sleazy friends arrive for an unannounced hunting trip. Tension mounts in the house until the situation abruptly––and viciously––intensifies, culminating in a shocking act that leaves Jen left for dead. Unfortunately for her assailants, Jen survives and reemerges with a relentless, wrathful intent: revenge!

!!''Revenge'' contains examples of:

* AgonyOfTheFeet: When Jen is being chased by Stan on the mountain trail, she smashes the lens of her flashlight and scatters the broken glass on the ground where Stan steps on in with his bare foot; driving the glass shards deep into the sole of his foot.
* FrimDressToDressing: After being shot in the shoulder by Jen, Stan uses his sock as a tourniquet to staunch the bleeding.
* ImpaledWithWithExtremePrejudice: Richard shoves Jen off a cliff, and she is impaled on a scrubby tree on the floor of the canyon.
* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: When Demi stops to take a piss, he leaves his rifle propped against a rock. Jen sneaks in and grabs the rifle. However, when she attempts to shoot him, she discovers the rifle is unloaded. Dimi is too experienced a hunter to leave a loaded rifle lying around unattended, and he was actually using the rifle as bait to lure her out of hiding.
* LeftForDead: Richard shoves Jen off a cliff, and she is ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice on a tree on the floor of the canyon. Assuming she is dead, the trio go on their hunting trip and plan to return that evening and dispose of her body. However, when they get back, Jen is not there.
* OneWordTitle
* RapeAndRevenge: Jen is raped by Stan, and then Richard attempts to buy her silence. When she refuses, he pushes her off a cliff and [[LeftForDead leaves her for dead]]. Jen survives the fall and comes back seeking revenge.
* SelfSurgery: Jen uses a hunring knife to cut out the broken branch that is stuck through her abdomen, and then uses a heated aluminium can to cauterize the wound.
