10 Spine-Chilling Horror Movies Set In The Desert

10. Revenge

This gory French rape-revenge movie pits a young woman against her lover and his sleazy chums - following in the footsteps of the equally grisly Australian thriller Fair Game (1986). Third-wheeling on their lads holiday, Jen (Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz) faces a fight for her life when the men, bored and sleazy, attack Jen and leave her for dead. She is pursued through an unforgiving hellish desert landscape as the men try to finish off what they started.

Not for the faint-hearted, this gory action thriller by Coralie Fargeat sees Jen attempting to fend off both a pack of violent, murderous mysogynists and the desert landscape. In the movie's most unforgettable sequence, Jen is literally impaled on a tree, and forced to make her escape with a massive chunk sticking out of her side.

Jen's bloody revenge isn't to be sniffed at, culminating in a fantastically gory showdown with her ex. This movie doesn't make for easy viewing - leaving the harrowing imagery burned into viewers' memories for years to come.
