The victim (Tina Ivlev) of a violent assault escapes and turns the tables on her tormentor (Richard Tyson), who may be holding other women prisoner.

Wendy Ide

Guardian

Ivlev's spirited performance is undermined by the fact that her character's actions are so far-fetched, it would be easier to believe if she sprouted wings and flew out of captivity.

Rated: 2/5

Los Angeles Times

Unbelievable indeed, the film, directed by José Manuel Cravioto, nevertheless manages to captivate throughout.

Charles Bramesco

The Dissolve

José Manuel Cravioto's wants so badly to work the femsploitation angle, but has no functional understanding of the crucial factors that distinguish between the good and bad apples.

Rated: 1.5/5

John Noonan

FILMINK (Australia)

With grounded performances from Ivlev and Tyson, this is an excellent indie thriller that tries to do something a little different from the norm.

Amanda Waltz

The Film Stage

Its message remains muddled at best as it tries, and fails, to effectively comment on the consequences of rape culture.

Rated: C-

Butaca Ancha

A pretty straight forward film that touches familiar ground but it's full of energy. [Full review in Spanish]

Cruda, dura, violenta. Una gran película que no es para todo el mundo por su historia triste y a la vez aterradora.

A well done sexual assault revenge movie in my opinion. I see a lot of people were put off by it, but I loved that they didn't rely on showing the sexual assault and opted for scenes simply alluding to the assault. It felt a lot less exploitative than most rape revenge movies while still keeping the horror ever present throughout the whole thing. The ambiguous ending was a bit frustrating just as ambiguous endings should be.

When this kind of horror film is done well, we can forget that it's going over well-trodden ground, and sit back and just enjoy it. Unfortunately, Bound To Vengeance isn't nearly original, or well-made enough for that. It has so many plot holes that they become difficult to ignore, and our suspension of disbelief is stretched beyond breaking point. This is a film only for people who want a lot of gore and don't care too much about story.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

A little ambitious in its narrative but the moral ambiguity in the main character's quest for revenge is actually very enthralling. Worth watching.
