Doomsday has come and gone, and has left the world in a dire state
where survival-of-the-fittest reigns supreme, and who doesn't make it is
often devoured by one's fellow humans as food is scarce. Tisha's (Nayla
Churruarin) is a tough-as-nails girl who seems to know exactly what she's
doing at all times, so when she enters a sleazy bar, she seems well
prepared for whatever's thrown at her - which is a lot. But then she lets
her guard down and lets stripper Luna (Sofia Lanaro) drug her, upon which
she's gang raped, humiliated, and Luna's boyfriend Roger (Gonzalo Tolosa),
who also runs the bar, wants to make her one of his whores. But
fortunately barmaid Gladys (Rosa Cuenya Macedo) is secretly on her side,
frees her, gives her an antidote for the drugs, and tries to help her
escape - but does Tisha escape? No, because she's a woman on a mission,
and that mission involves killing Roger, at whatever cost ... Now
one thing's for sure, Scavenger didn't go for subtlety, it's loud,
it doesn't shy away from violence and gore, it doesn't give two hoots
about political correctness, and the film's (mainly) punk rock score only
mirrors its boldness. But that said, Scavenger is more than just a
blunt horror show, as its uncompromising approach has something very
primal to it, something that's also mirrored in the film's very grungy
looks that nevertheless have coherence and artistry to it, as do really
the film's action scenes that show directorial finesse. The result is
certainly not for those faint of heart (or stomach), but if you can accept
what you're in for, it's very likely you'll feel well-entertained.
