Revenge is a dish best served cold, and stylish. Netflix’s latest film, Do Revenge, wants you to know that. The Hitchcockian dark comedy makes high school the ultimate breeding ground for deception and the perfect place to get back at betrayers.
Camila Mendes (Riverdale, Palm Springs) and Maya Hawke (Stranger Things, Fear Street) play preppy perfectionist Drea and awkward transfer student Eleanor respectively.
After both falling victim to the machinations of two fellow students, Drea has a topless video leaked by her boyfriend and Eleanor is accused of holding down a fellow student and attempting to kiss her, the pair team up to take down the other’s bully.
The film is inspired by acclaimed filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock’s 1951 film Strangers on a Train. The film revolves around two strangers who meet on a train and are faced with a proposition to carry out each other’s murders.
