Plot

A triumphant epic of survival and a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a hell on earth. Our heroine is Liz (Dakota Fanning), carved from the beautiful wilderness, full of heart and grit, hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Guy Pearce) - a diabolical zealot and her twisted nemesis. But Liz is a genuine survivor; she's no victim - a woman of fearsome strength who responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life she and her daughter deserve. Fear not. Retribution is coming.

The movie, based on the Martin Koolhoven' story, has also been written and directed by himself. It was awarded in the Festival of Venice (2016) and in the one of Sitges (2017).

Trivia

Old friends

Kit Harington and Carice van Houten have both worked on 'Game of Thrones' (2011).

With a lot of care

Acclaimed Dutch director Martin Koolhoven worked almost 7 years on this project. He estimated that writing took him 3.5 years [interspersed with visits to movie festivals to promote his previous movie 'Winter in Wartime' (2008)], two years to get the finance in order, and 1.5 years of actual production.

Risk losing everything

Director Martin Koolhoven and producer Els Vandevorst were so adamant to make this passion project that they put their entire salaries in the budget.
