Revenge is a strong word, and the consequences when two people pursue it are never positive. Destruction, loss, and heartbreak follow, and faint-hearted viewers might find it difficult to sit through such narratives. Movies across the globe have explored this theme, where a character sets out seeking revenge and executes the wildest plans, either from the shadows or openly. The genre has amassed a massive fanbase, as not only producers for the big screen but also streamers are actively investing in it, continuing to churn out revenge thrillers loved by fans worldwide. Bringing to you one such film after its theatrical release, Lionsgate Play is now all set to release The Marsh King’s Daughter on their streaming platform.

The Marsh King's Daughter is one of the most appreciated revenge stories of last year. With Daisy Ridley at the centre of it all, the movie is about a woman who discovers that her father is a kidnapper and that she is the girl he kept captive for years. When he breaks out of prison, the possibility that he is coming for her daughters leaves her worried. She decides to find him and kill him herself before he becomes a nuisance that she has to deal with. The movie opened to good reactions when it was released on the big screen and is now hitting Lionsgate Play in a week.

So, as we await the release of the Daisy Ridley starrer on the streaming platform, let's explore the genre on the same platform and find some more revenge dramas. Read on and add them to your watchlist until the day The Marsh King's Daughter releases on the platform.
