Not all is fair in life. Sometimes some nasty things happen to good and undeserving people. And righting wrongs is not always possible. But nothing satisfies a thirst for payback like a good revenge flick. And while there are plenty of those out there, here are the type five to whet the appetite: A Classic Horror Story (2021), Thinner (2015), SAW (2004), Friday the 13th (1980), and Carrie (1976). Besides, who doesn’t like to know that there is such a thing as divine retribution?
A Classic Horror Story (2021)
A Classic Horror Story comes in at number five. One thing is certain there is nothing classic about this story. And if anything, the twisty tale proves that things can turn in the wrong direction pretty quickly. The story follows an eclectic group on the way to their appointed destination. However, they soon learn it’s not quite hard to find oneself in a precarious situation where the odds are not in your favor. And frankly, some destinations are final. However, in this 2021 flick, one character manages to turn the tables, or the camera, so to speak. If looking for a good underdog story where the sick creatives get everything they got coming to them, be sure to check out this film.
Thinner (2015)
The number four tale of revenge is Thinner. Thinner is a macabre offering from the mind of horror master Stephen King. And this film is the perfect slice of heaven for those who ache to see wrongs righted and tables tipped. The titular character, Billy Halleck, soon learns that there is a downside to money, position, and power, especially when it is blinds one to their inhumanity. Not to mention It is particularly satisfying to see the greedy suffer from consumption of a supernatural nature.
