criticism
The revenge of the lynched was largely received positively.
The lexicon of international films praises the actors and judges them
"Inexpensive, but effective thriller, which, with convincing actors, bundles the stereotypes of the genre."
Frank Trebbin writes in Die Angst sitting next to you that “the film leaves a positive impression on the audience” . Despite the moral undertone, he entertained "until the end" .
production
The film was shot as a television production in Piru ( California ) on 35mm .
The film is designed in such a way that until the end it is not entirely clear who is pursuing and killing Bubba's murderer. The scarecrow can be seen again and again, but does not move. Only at the end of the film does it become clear that Bubba, as a revenant, is looking for his murderers and seeking revenge.
Awards and nominations
