A modern day "Deliverance"


This film reminded me a lot of the film Deliverance.... depicting a rural clash of class cultures, violence, revenge, etc.

Although this one was set in contemporary UK, as opposed to 30 years ago USA.

Spot on, just watched it for the second time and thought the exact thing.

Same here, and those claiming this film is the worst ever must have missed most of those 70s/80s slashers and thrillers. It's a similar formula. I enjoyed it.
Jennifer hunting down all of those brutes alone in DAY OF THE WOMAN wasn't very realistic either, but it's a great film nonetheless.
