Programmer's Pick

Deadly Daphne's Revenge doesn't pull punches or offer easy catharsis—just a grim crawl through the aftermath of violence and a justice system that shrugs. Richard Gardner delivers a bleak backwoods tale where retribution is the only thing the law won't touch. Viewer beware: this is exploitation with a vengeance, and the scars are meant to show.
