To set the record straight I like revenge flicks....plain and simple. Stuff like death wish are hardcore revenge flicks and like all hard core vengace flicks chances are some ones going to get raped....Something I am not at all fucking fond of but do relise in most cases its the fuse for the powdercagg at the end of the flick. In the Woman the fuse is stuck to a nuke.
First off the Woman is a semi-sequel to the film Offspring. Its about a feral woman who is captured and "civilised" buy a country lawyer and his nuclear family. Thing go from bad to worse to shithouse rat in no time. You soon relise the real monster of the movie isnt the woman ((played with a great mix of beauty and savagery buy Pollyanna McIntosh)) but the seemly clean cut family man.
3 things struck me about this film.
(1) Oh lord jeasus fuck....did they.....can they....well fuck me that was intense!
(2) The soundtrack. Its really good and it really shouldnt work but it does. It would seem more at home in a day time teen drama but due to the setting it lends a yin-yang kinda thing with "man this music sure suits that white picket fence even if that chicks eating that womans face"
(3)Sean Bridgers as Chris Cleek is the bomb. If Im ever doing a top list of evil movie shitheels hes going on it. What makes him scary isnt that he beats his wife, abuses his daughter and rapes the wild lady in their fruit Cellar. Its the fact he does not see any wrong in it. The man plays it like hes the best fucking dad in the world and in no way is harming anyone.
After watching it twice and intending to watch it agien Im going to give the woman 8/10.
Rent it if you liked/ Aviod it if you hated.
I spit on your grave.
