Consommé(2016)

Consommé is a taut thriller about a young woman who wakes with unexplained bruises and must piece together a harrowing attack from the night before. As her memory returns, she realizes she fought back—but in a way far more disturbing than expected. Director Catherine Fordham subverts the rape-revenge formula with a chilling twist that reframes the genre's familiar violence. Rather than celebrating her survival, the film explores the psychological toll of trauma and the darker impulses it can unleash. Fordham's assured debut marks her as a distinctive voice in horror, one willing to complicate the moral certainties that often define revenge narratives. The result is unsettling and provocative, a film that lingers long after the credits roll.
