🔥 Recap of Acrimony (2018):
The first film followed Melinda (Taraji P. Henson) — a devoted wife who, after years of betrayal and sacrifice, slowly descended into rage and revenge when her ex-husband, Robert, found success and moved on with another woman. Her unraveling ended in a fiery and tragic climax aboard a yacht.
Or did it?
🧠 Fan Concept Plot: “Acrimony 2: Resentment”
Years after the tragedy, the world believes Melinda is dead. But when a tell-all book written by Robert’s new wife hits the bestseller list — detailing their “triumph” over Melinda’s madness — strange things begin happening.
Threats. Stalking. A mysterious figure in the shadows.
A therapist working with the couple begins to question: Was Melinda really unstable… or was she made that way?
Now, in a twist-filled sequel of obsession, lies, and emotional warfare, one truth becomes terrifyingly clear:
“Some scars don’t fade. They plot.”
💬 Tagline Ideas:
“You took her love. She’s taking her justice.”
“The past isn’t dead. It’s watching.”
“A woman scorned… twice.”

A darker, more psychological and suspense-driven tone
Unreliable narration — is Melinda alive, or is guilt haunting them?
Flashbacks, emotional gaslighting, and courtroom showdowns
