The couple tortures the man until they find the truth about their victim.
The genre of this film is a psychological thriller/horror movie, which is the genre we have chosen as the final idea for our film. The film is similar as one of the key themes of the film is revenge. In this movie, Craig is hunting revenge on his six year old sons' killer. This is similar to our movie, however it was the girls sister who was abducted right in front of her eyes. Both of the main characters in the film are seeking revenge and want their relatives killer dead. In this film, the man is not perceived as psychotic, he is just seen as a man who wants justice for his son. However, in our film, the abducted girls sister is in a mental institute, so she is deemed clinically insane.
I Spit On Your Grave (2010)
Plot: Writer Jennifer Hills (Butler) takes a retreat from the city to a charming cabin in the woods to start on her next book. But Jennifer's presence in the small town attracts the attention of a few morally depraved locals w
ho set out one night to teach this city girl a lesson. They break into her cabin to scare her. However, what starts out as terrifying acts of humiliation and intimidation, quickly and uncontrollably escalates into a night of physical abuse and torturous assault. But before they can kill her, Jennifer sacrifices her broken and beaten body to a raging river that washes her away. As time passes, the men slowly stop searching for her body and try to go back to life as usual. But that isn't about to happen. Against all odds, Jennifer Hills survived her ordeal. Now, with hell bent vengeance, Jennifer's sole purpose is to turn the tables on these animals and to inflict upon them every horrifying and torturous moment they carried out on her... only much, much worse.
This film also has the same genre as ours. This film is also mainly about the vengeance on someone who never got the justice they should have faced. However in this film, the girl seeks out her own revenge as she doesn't technically die, despite the efforts of the men who raped and tortured her. It is quite similar to our film as it involves abduction and attempted murder. The girl has clearly gone insane from her unfortunate fate, so she is a similar character to the girl in our movie.

This film is similar to ours as Anna is sent to a mental institution, just like our lead character, due to a tragedy that has occurred in her home life. She is also out to seek revenge on someone who she believes has killed her mother. Her character will be similar to ours due to her resentfulness and mental instability.
