Comedy. Thriller Columnist and author Femke is flooded with anonymous nasty messages and death threats on social media. One day she has enough and decides to take revenge.

	Media	Author	Review
		Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting	"[It] has a biting wit that feels very reflective of the current moment and Femke is a fantastic showcase for Herbers (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut	"[An] an excellent black comedy thriller about the price of free speech and its problematic consequences (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Rob Hunter Film School Rejects	"[It] is simple on its face, perhaps too much so for a topic this timely and caustic, but it remains a sharp response to the reality that is social media"
		Josh Winning Radio Times	"A stylish, intermittently gory film that shocks and entertains without ever resorting to sermonising. Meanwhile, Herbers is nothing short of magnetic (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Pappas Irish Film Critic	"It’s clever storytelling (...) The effects always work and the blood splatters delight the audience up until the final ending (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"This is a very dark horror-comedy that works brilliantly (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A brittle and brutal feminist thriller, but without the bite (...) [It] predates Emerald Fennell's "Promising Young Woman," but this feature makes a fine, if lesser, companion."
