Bound to Vengeance is a 2015 American horror-thriller film about a woman who escapes her confinement in a basement by a sexual predator.

The film begins with a man driving his van to an abandoned house in a remote area.

He cooks a meal and brings it to the basement, where a girl is being held captive, with her leg chained to the floor.

She goes upstairs, makes a snare, puts it around his neck and leads him to the van, forcing him to take her to the closest victim: a black girl named Nina.

Nina trips over a water hose and falls onto a metal fence, which impales her neck and kills her.

Eve makes Phil drive to the next house, where she finds Laura - the second victim - in a room chained to the ceiling.

She gets in the house to find no one but her boyfriend Ronnie (who also appears in the flashback footage with Eve and Dylan) sleeping on an armchair.

He concocts a story that the police didn't help him to find Eve, and in the desperate attempt to look for her, he lost his job.

In the van, Phil cuts the duct tape holding his hands, but before he can start the van to get away, he hears gunshots and sees the light flashing inside the house several times, suggesting that Eve shoots Ronnie dead.

The movie ends with the satisfied Eve walking away, then standing on the street, with a cold and murderous look on her bloody face.

[2] Common criticism for the film centered upon its violence and story,[3] which Slant Magazine felt "trivializes victim trauma by treating its main character's best-laid plans as punchline fodder.

"[4][5] A reviewer for TheFrightFile.com commented that the movie "holds one's attention, but not one's faith, telling a story that simply has too many holes to buy into it.”[6] In contrast, Cinema Crazed gave a more favorable opinion and commented that the film would be polarizing, that it would be best appeal to a niche audience, and that it was an entertaining example of revenge exploitation cinema.

[7] Shock Till You Drop editor Chris Alexander wrote a mixed review, writing "I’m not sure if it’s a good film but it’s tight, taut, never dull and offers some nice deviations from the usual revenge programmer, enough that I certainly can recommend it as a fine bit of filthy time-wasting.
