- Synopsis
- The film isn’t your typical revenge film. Looks are deceiving. In fact, it isn’t a revenge film at all. It’s a Greek tragedy that explores the central character’s guilt through Dante’s Inferno.
  Beyond, the murder and the treachery, the film is an emotional journey about a father and a daughter. This is the heart of the project. Without touching on a father’s love, the film fails. In fact, everything happens because of a father’s love for his daughter. He acts out of love. He does terrible things that are all driven by his love. No one in the film acts from an intellectual state, everything is driven from an emotional primal urge. Frank “feels” that in order to protect Holly he has to kill.
  
  It is the basic human need to protect one’s family. Blake who believes Frank is a paedophile and in order to protect his own daughter targets Frank. Sam also makes the choice to turn a blind eye to the murderous actions of the town in order to protect his unborn child.
  
  To complicate things, Frank’s journey through this story is a mediation on guilt. He can’t accept that he would have killed his daughter. He loved her. Someone had to have been behind it. This places our hero in a state of purgatory. A part of him died when Holly died and now he faces the ultimate trip through the nine levels of hell. It is important to note that the only person driving Frank through hell is Frank himself.
  
  Moreover, everything in this film attempts to reflect that journey: the camera, lighting, design, music, etc… It is a film from Frank’s perspective. His world is sometimes out of focus, and at times slowed down as Frank’s perception of the the world is lost in time and memory.
