The idea of revenge is common in a lot of horror films as it creates a reason for the deaths/ what happens in the film. It gives the killer a motive and makes them seem more ruthless and determined. Some examples are:
Tamara (2005)
Tamara, an unattractive girl, who is picked on by her peers returns after her death as a sexy seductress for revenge.
Tamara is a girl who didn't quite fit in. Tamara is constantly picked on and when a couple of peers play a joke on Tamara, it leads to her death. They bury her and try to make it seem that Tamara ran away. But all is not forgotten. Tamara returns as a sexy seductress and through witchcraft plans her revenge.
This is contrasting to our trailer as our killer does not have any supernatural powers, therefore it belongs more in the horror/thriller genre unlike Tamara which is more horror.
