Evangeline (2013 film)

Evangeline is a 2013 Canadian horror/thriller film, which was written and directed by Karen Lam.

According to Lam, the script of Evangeline was motivated by reactions to the Pickton murders in the Vancouver area, and the Highway of Tears murders in northern British Columbia.

[1][2] The film is described as a supernatural revenge fantasy, about a university student (played by Kat de Lieva) who is beaten and left for dead in the woods.

[3] Underpinning the film is a religious theme: the dilemma of eye for an eye (retributive justice) versus turning the other cheek.

[2][4] Evangeline received nine nominations for the Leo Awards, winning two.
