Do Revenge joined Netflix last week, and it is currently the #1 trending film on the streaming giant.
Riverdale’s Camila Mendes and Stranger Things star Maya Hawke star as two teenage girls who have been ostracized by their peers due to situations out of their control.
Rather than sit back and take it, a random meeting between the pair results in them helping each other get revenge on their respective bullies.
Rish Shah, Talia Ryder, Jonathan Daviss, Maia Reficco, Paris Berelc, Alisha Boe and Sophie Turner also star in the dark comedy, which has been getting rave reviews online.
One fan tweeted: “Do Revenge is an immediate masterpiece. An essential addition to teen movie canon that manages to pay homage to its roots while being fresh, feminist & f**king funny. Stylistically subversive, it’s a nuanced dissection of female rage with top tier performances. Genuinely obsessed.”
Another wrote: “do revenge is literally iconic. maya hawke and camila mendes are insane together. the outfits, the twists, the soundtrack, this movie is 5/5.”

Do Revenge is inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1951 film Strangers on a Train, and features nods to classic ’90s teen movies such as Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Cruel Intentions.
Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is the director and co-writer of the film, with Celeste Ballard as the other co-writer.
