Vindicta (2023)

Lou (Elena Kampouris), is a newly recruited paramedic eager to prove herself on her first day. Her father, Patrick (Jeremy Piven), a retired police officer, supports her endeavors, while her superior, Rick (Sean Astin), remains skeptical of her capabilities. Lou is partnered with Jason (Jaime M. Callica), a seasoned paramedic, to navigate the chaos engulfing the city.

Amidst the turmoil, a masked serial killer emerges, donning a visage resembling Michelangelo's David. The killer leaves behind victims in grotesque states, accompanied by cryptic Latin phrases scrawled in blood. Lou's proficiency in Latin becomes instrumental in deciphering these messages, leading her to collaborate with Detective Stan Russo (Travis Nelson) in the investigation.

As the body count rises, Lou begins to suspect a personal connection to the killer. Her suspicions are confirmed when she discovers that the killer, David (Daniel Cudmore), has been stalking her and has ties to a tragic event from her childhood. Years prior, a fire deliberately set by corrupt officers, including her father, claimed the lives of David's wife and son. David, presumed dead, survived with severe disfigurements, overhearing Patrick's plan to frame David for his family's murder, and has since been seeking vengeance against those responsible.

David captures Lou, forcing her to confront the sins of her father. Patrick arrives in an attempt to save his daughter but is ultimately killed by David. Lou manages to escape, engaging in a deadly game of cat and mouse with David. Utilizing her resourcefulness, she traps him in a room and sets it on fire. Despite the inferno, David proves resilient, leading to a final struggle where Lou fatally stabs him, ensuring her survival.

In the aftermath, authorities place David's charred body into a body bag. However, his eyes are open.
