This is a thoroughly enjoyable black comedy about revenge that gets out of hand. Three friends band together to get even for a devastating assault. Of course no one will listen to or believe the victim, so they set out to balance the scales of justice--but justice tips over into disaster as the playbook goes out the window on the first encounter.
Director Ozols-Graham has done miracles with a tiny budget--squeezing every single bit of production value out of every well-crafted sequence. And she manages to keep the story tripping along the balance beam of black humor and dramatic horror. This mix of genres has created a truly interesting and entertaining film.
Emotions trump CGI and humor jumps out as effectively as the unexpected plot twist. Black Widows is worth your time. Enjoy!

Its not often that an Indi flick takes me by surprise like Black Widows did. This fun, corky, sexy movie is perfect if you're tired of overly complex Hollywood flop Blockbusters.
The acting was great and the film looks good for an Indi.
The central theme of the movie is about a group of life long friends who find themselves in a life changing situation. They band together and take charge of the situation and their lives.
Sprinkled with some comedy and quick one-lines, it makes for a great ride!
Definitely worth it!

Honestly, I thought it was decent. Some of the acting could have been better, and some of the scenes begged to be shot differently, but ultimately I think viewers can just appreciate what the movie was about. Black Widows is a commentary on modern rape culture (which is itself so disgusting it's basically satire). Men have this ultra- shitty tendency to blame women for their own rapes (i.e. she wanted to find a guy so she had sex early in the relationship, she'd had sex with him before, they were dating, etc.). That kind of destructive thinking is subverted by the writing in the movie. Sure, you could watch it and blame Darcy for what happened to her, but *you* would be the asshole, since the movie made it clear she was just a normal person who got hurt by someone she trusted. Thought it was a nice addition to the conversation surrounding rape culture.
I came across this film online and I have to say, I was very surprised with the great way the director showed a sensitive subject! I truly LovedLoved this movie , great actors/actress and love the story line. Black widow by far one of the very best movies I've watched in a while ,giving 10 stars out of 10 as this movie reminds me of a friendship I had as a child.

- TriviaBlack Widows was written by a woman who was, in fact, date raped. Her friends suggested executing their own vendetta against the man but rather than kidnapping him and stripping him and making him hitchhike back to the city naked with 'rapist' written across his chest, she decided to write about it instead, and the dark comedy 'Black Widows' was born.
