Social satire or horror movie? Misogynistic or an attack on misogyny? These are the kinds of questions that have been pondered by audiences and critics. Whether the film is viewed as “an unflinching, accurate and undeniably powerful portrait of an extreme kind of misogyny” (Daily Mail) or simply “one of the nastiest films out this year” (The Times) The Woman is essential viewing for fans of uncompromising cinema.
Directed by Lucky McKee (The Woods; Masters Of Horror; May) and co-written by award winning horror novelist Jack Ketchum (Red; The Girl Next Door; The Lost), the film stars Angela Bettis (Toolbox Murders; Carrie; May), Sean Bridgers (Deadwood) and Pollyanna McIntosh (Burke And Hare; Exam; Land Of The Lost) in a savage and harrowing film examining the darkness of human nature.
When lawyer and proud family man Chris Cleek (Bridgers) stumbles across a wild, feral woman (McIntosh) bathing in a woodland stream near his isolated country home, he immediately makes a decision that will dramatically change both their lives. Available to buy on DVD and Blu-ray from 17th October 2011, and the trailer is at the link above.
