Plot
Eve (Tina Ivlev) is a young woman that awakens to find herself chained in a dark, dank basement after having been raped. When her captor, Phil (Richard Tyson), appears and tries to feed her, Eve manages to escape by hitting him in the head with a brick. She then manages to snare his neck and disarm him. Once out of the basement Eve discovers that the house is in a remote area and that it does not have a phone. Upon seeing a van parked outside Eve begins hunting for keys, only to find Polaroid pictures of other captive women with their names on the back. She then decides to remain in order to force Phil to tell her where the others are located. She brutalizes him and forces him into the back of the van, where Phil tries to manipulate Eve by telling her that he will only take Eve to the others if she takes him to a hospital and doesn't kill him, and that the other women will starve to death if she refuses, as only he knows where they are.

Reception
Critical reception for Bound to Vengeance has been negative and the movie currently holds a rating of 34% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 12 reviews, and 27 on Metacritic, based on 5 reviews. Common criticism for the film centered upon its violence and story, which Slant Magazine felt "trivializes victim trauma by treating its main character's best-laid plans as punchline fodder." A reviewer for TheFrightFile.com commented that the movie "holds one's attention, but not one's faith, telling a story that simply has too many holes to buy into it.”
In contrast, Cinema Crazed gave a more favorable opinion and commented that the film would be polarizing, that it would be best appeal to a niche audience, and that it was an entertaining example of revenge exploitation cinema. Shock Till You Drop editor Chris Alexander wrote a mixed review, writing "I’m not sure if it’s a good film but it’s tight, taut, never dull and offers some nice deviations from the usual revenge programmer, enough that I certainly can recommend it as a fine bit of filthy time-wasting."
