Penny Dreadful
SFX'S high priestess of horror
ANGEL OF VENGEANCE
Rape-revenge has never been a massive favourite of mine when it comes to horror subgenres, but Promising Young Woman might just be the exception. Released in the US in December, this is the directorial debut of Killing Eve season two showrunner Emerald Fennell. Carey Mulligan plays against type as an avenging angel who feigns drunkenness to teach hard lessons to the supposed nice guys who take her home and try to have their wicked way without consent. This is a bright, funny fable which turns dark as hell.
