Plot

A triumphant epic of survival and a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a hell on earth. Our heroine is Liz (Dakota Fanning), carved from the beautiful wilderness, full of heart and grit, hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Guy Pearce) - a diabolical zealot and her twisted nemesis. But Liz is a genuine survivor; she's no victim - a woman of fearsome strength who responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life she and her daughter deserve. Fear not. Retribution is coming.

The movie, based on the Martin Koolhoven' story, has also been written and directed by himself. It was awarded in the Festival of Venice (2016) and in the one of Sitges (2017).

Trivia

Without order

This is the second movie featuring Guy Pearce to have a predominantly non-chronological narrative structure. The first was 'Memento' (2000).

Matter of colors

Carice van Houten's eyes are normally blue, yet are brown in this movie. Emilia Jones on the other hand, normally has brown eyes, but has blue eyes in Brimstone. Guy Pearce's eyes are normally blue, yet they are only blue in chapter 2 & 3. In 1 & 4, they are almost black.

Not in America

Director Martin Koolhoven was offered to make the movie for an American studio, but that would mean he didn't have final cut, so he chose to make it a European co-production, independently financed by eight different countries.
