Study this script for its unflinching tone and how it sustains dread through sparse, efficient dialogue. The narrative's fragmented structure—shifting between past trauma and present violence—offers a masterclass in building a revenge thriller that prioritizes psychological weight over cheap scares. A brutal, character-driven descent worth unpacking.
