(aka La meute) This French horror film includes a scene where sexy bad girl Charlotte (Émilie Dequenne) picks up the wrong hitchhiker, a drifter named Max, and her problems begin. She ends up getting knocked out and locked in a cage. Max’s harridan of a mother drags her out while he takes a blowtorch and heats up a branding iron until it’s red hot. She holds her down while Max burns the word COLZA onto her back (French for RAPE). The one big debit in this scene is that director Franck Richard needlessly cuts away to a comic scene in the midst of the branding, so we miss the first 4 letters and only see the final letter “A” branded on her back, with Émilie doing some marvelous painful screaming.
