"What sets this apart from the myriad of nasty rape revenge films is an acute attention to detail rather than a quick cash in. The cinematography is delightful, the desert setting dripping with a hazy, dusty anxiety that encapsulates the feeling of isolation and barren despair the protagonist feels.
The camera work is adventurous, flicking from long single takes, extreme close ups, and wide establishing shots.The practical effects are intense, with some truly squeamish shots that are not for the faint-hearted, the blood almost becoming its own character at times such is the effect on the story.
Layered throughout is a dose of jet black comedy, a release from what could have been an overtly harrowing and sadistic film, the confidence in the director splicing between these elements testament to the films strengths"
