Mad Max Fury Road

Right so my summer is set, regardless of Avengers or Jurassic World which I aint seen yet I have my summer movie. Mad Max is a pulse pumping thrill ride of sound,color and visions of beautiful chaos played out in a Post-apocalyptic waste land and is George Millers forth and long awaited return to the franchise which made him famous. This movie is stunning in a age where CGI is spattered all over the screen like digital vomit this movie delivers ground breaking actions scenes but also delivers something that those movies lose in the mire....heart.

                              *********  Spoilers ahead**********

The movie is set somwhere between the events of Road Warrior and Thunderdome although the time frame for any of those movies has never been solid but if your keen you can pick up hints and nodds that help you place it. The thing is Max's character blunders into this movie and you couldnt even call him the central character yet with that said he still is awesome and plays well  off Furiosa but I'll get that later. Furiosa Charlize Therons character is on the run from wasteland warlord Immortan Joe who's wives he's stolen. Max is like a shaggy stray dog ends up becoming part of this dysfunctional family if we shall call it that. At first not wanting anything to really do with them but over time his feral side is shaken away and he slowly learns what it is to be part of the human race again.

Tom Hardy is fucking awesome as Max and he plays him so well. A character with multi layers but does to his feral loner state Hardy has to use limited dialogue and gestures to convey this. At the start when he escapes the war boys and confronts Furiosa and the wives his like a wild dog or wolf muttering in grunts and growls..his eyes darting back and fort as he wields his iconic sawen-off double barrel. Even when he does speak Hardy shows use that Max voice is somewhat husking from lack of conversation and at times when he speaks it show he has trouble conversing with others. As I pointed out Max is some what cold and uncaring but after his encounter with the war boys could you blame him. He could have killed Nux for strapping him to his car but do's not being sharp enough to know hes was just a kid was been brainwashed like the rest of the war boys. Later even shows Nux some compassion in two instances. When he kills the Bullitfarmers men he brings Nux back a spare boot and later when Nux is spitting nitro into the war rigs engine and starts to get sick Max takes over for him. Little things like these didnt go unnoticed buy me and really help make the character.

Charlize Therons Furiosa Character does steal the show but I wouldnt agree that she steal the movie fully from max but does push him back some what. Her character up there with the likes of Ellen Ripely and Sarah Conner for best female action hero. Shes a female version of Max with one difference and this is the thing that stops Max from being redundant. She has not be fully broken by the world she lives in ....she seeks hope and redemption. Max has lost these but sees their still burning bright in Furiosa and decides to help her and prevent her turning into him. As he says himself "If you dont fix whats broken you'll go...mad!"
This line sums up Max, he's been down that road and lost it all. He see a chance at some redemption for himself and making sure theres still some hope left in the world.

The movie stunts are amazing and granted CG was used in removing wires and one other fantastic scene but it still looks beautiful.The movie is basically one massive chase. The car designs and costumes are wildly over the top and look like something ripped out of a 2000A.D or Heavy Metal comic which is no suprise as the awesomely talented comic book artist Brendan McCarthy whose also wrote some of the story designed the look of the film.

I could go on and on about the movie till the cows come home but I dont wanna spoil anymore of it. With that if you ask me this could be one of the last great action movies before the movieplexs are drowned with even more mind numbing Fast and Furious and Michael Bay movies. I've seen this movie three times and love it and urge anyone who see this review to check it out.

Shlocktober movie: Night of the Comet.

You dont get any more 80s then Night of the Comet. Valley Girls vs Zombies and the song "Girls just wanna have fun!" used in a mall shootout. Fuck yes.

So this comets pass's over earth rather like the one that passed earth 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs went extinct and eveyone goes out to have a look bar two sisters Reggie and Sam. Both wake the next morning to find piles of dust where the people used to be and those that did not expire have become blood crazed zombies. So what do they do? Go to the mall and shop of course.

They take out a bunch of gun toting punk zombie stockboys (no really thats what they are) and hook up with hunky truck driver Hector played buy Robert Beltran ((Commander Chaktoy bitchs))
Then our heros come across and group who know about the comet and are up to no good.

Night of the comet is a fun cheese horror action movie with an okay cast and it knows it's not Ben Hur.
The music 80s, the action 80s and the idea is 80's. If your a fan of 80 horror this movies a must but be ready for spandex and leg warmers.

Shlocktober Movie: Of Unknown Origin

Right this movie is pretty fucking awesome even if it does go a bit silly at times. Right you want the pitch here it is. Robocop vs a rat. Peter Weller plays a well to do Yuppie who's dream home is invaded buy a rat from hell. This thing outsmarts him at every fucking turn from chewing the check left for the exterminator to killing the cat that Weller keeps to get rid of the fucker. This movie becomes Moby Dick half way through as Wellers character Bart Hughes becomes obsessed with the creature researching all he can about rats when he should be completing a major business deal for his company. The stand out scene is the Dinner where for some reason Bart starts spouting facts about rats making everyone at the dinner table cringe.

Weller is awesome in this movie and is so likeable you feel bad when the rat destroys him emotionally and makes him wreck his home in an effort to kill the beast. The camera work is awesome having the POV of the rat as it goes through the house.

This movie isnt a total nail biter but it does make you wonder who'll come out on top man or beast. If you can check this movie out on the lead up to Halloween its awesome.

Shlocktober movie:Phantoms

Right  if you ever herd of Dean Koontz you'll know he's like the K-Mart Stephan King. Not a bad writer but not up to par with the Maine man ((see what I did there)) We''ll a least Kings had more movies of his books made and if you watch Phantoms you can see why. Its a movie with great idea's and a decent cast but badly executed.

Basiclly two sister played buy scream queen Rose McGown and Joanna Going from Wyatt Earp return to their small home town to find all the locals have been killed buy an unseen evil. The local sheriff department arrive to investigate led buy no other then Ben "Batffleck" Affleck. The girls inform them that everyone seems to be dead or missing. The guys decide to hold up in a local hotel rather then getting the fuck outta the creepy ass town Afflecks men are picked off one buy one. Fuck Liev Schreiber has his face eaten the fuck off buy a giant moth.

Meanwhile the FBI hire a writer played buy Peter O'Toole to help them take out this unseem monster at the town. Army turns up Army dies. Affleck, O'Toole and the two sisters are left and have to take out the monster/Evil/Alien/ devil what ever you want it to be.

Phantoms has a good cast and while not at their A game dont phone home their roles either. Affleck was still starting out but he's not bad...its no Gone girl or Good Will Hunting but its decent. Peter O'Toole steals the show as the "expert" moments when people ask how powerful is this thing he replys with "Well it killed the dinosaurs so I say its one tough fucking customer!" Liev Schreibers characters is odd as this cackling nutball who you know is going to pop up in the end as a villain.

Is Phantoms a bad movie....well no...the cast is good, some of the effects are cool but it lacks any real scares and the plot goes a little too big for its boots considering this is a cookie cutter B-movie with a good cast.
But you know what don take my word for it.

Shlocktober movie: The Relic

So mix Jurassic Park with Alien and you to this so-so monster flick set in a New York Museum. The movie centers around a strange savage monster stalking the halls of a natural history museum killing staff members and visitors a like.Is it some prehistoric monsters from an age time forgot or some mutant which swam from the depths of the harbor intent on mayhem....well its none of these and the explanation is kinda dumb.
I wont ruin it even if its a let down but when its revealed its ment to blow you away.....but it really dosent.

The cast middling, Tom Sizemore's detective D' Agosta is the only real decent  character in the flick giving while a cookcutter burnt out cop role but making the most of it. Penelope Ann Miller character is Dr Margo Green is just there to spout techno babble and half do a half ass Ripley Impression at the end. Anyone else in this movie is canon fodder but dont worry none an no where close to likable.

Do I hate this move...no its a fun silly popcorn flick but while some movies try to take the Alien archetype this movie goes...look look this scenes just like in Aliens or Jurassic park or even fucking Halloween. Infact thats a game you can play with your mate while you watch this. The Relic rip off game...thats it.

If your looking for a dumb horror for a lead up to halloween this does the job and its just worth it for watching the swat team scene...trust me you'll bust your hole laughing.

Shlocktober movie: Night Beast.

Okay so say Predator had a 2nd cousin from a redneck family who had to get the special bus to school every morning....you'd have Nightbeast.
NIGHTBEAST!
fucking NIGHT BEAST!

Made 5 years before predator Nightbeast tells the tale of a not so friendly E.T who's ship gets hit buy a meteor and crash lands in back woods U.S.A. and proceeds to lay waste to all who encounter it. Hunters DEAD. Police. DEAD, topless woman. DEAD....a car full of kids. DEAD. This yoke just kills and kills and kills at least Predators come he to hunt but this think just goes beserek. Be it using is disco light laser gun all just pull some poor blokes guts out it dosnt give a shit. And it never stops fucking screaming.....so fucking loud. Like its not like a xenomorph who would just go around and kill on sight. It Fly's a ship, wears fucking pants and can use a ray gun. It obviously has some from of logic to do these things so why is going around killing random people?

This movies a pile of shit...but a fun pile of shit. Have some mates over and keep the drinks going you'll have a fucking hoot of a time.

Also is it just me or does Nightbeast kinda look like the ape monster from Big trouble in little China.

FUBAR Film Review: Slither

Well I had kinda a change of heart about the savage Cinema blog seeing as people really fucking like it I decided to stick with and my Xeno blog.
So what mad cap movie am I going to review? Well with Guardians of the Galaxy coming out I decide to go back and check out James Gunn's wickedly funny splatstick horr/com Slither.
Gunn is a lover of horror cinema having cut his teeth working for Torma Entertainment and scripting the Dawn of the Dead but he only really got out on his own when he took the helm of his first directorial debut in 2006 with Slither.

Set in a sleepy rural community Wheelsey a meteortie carrying a dangerous parasite infects local dickhead Grant Grant (played with wicked glee buy Michael Rooker). It then transforms him into a savage alien being who in turn infects the local town hussy and breed vile slug like parasites which turn the town folk into zombies.
The only thing that stands between the small town and total invasion is police chief Bill Pardy ( Played buy the always excellent Nathan Fillion) What ensues is Gore, laughs and more fucking gore. I'm not shitting you this movie is fucked up and makes not excuse's for it. Gunn made a movie for himself and fans like him. This flick is a throw back to movies like The Fly,The Thing and Night of the Creeps.

And if your not getting sick from the gore then itll be from laughter. Gregg Henry's Mayor MacReady is the fucking bomb...some of the lines he comes out with....The lime disease debate he and Pardy get into is pants pissing funny and with other oddballs characters coming out with lines like "Looks like somthing that fell off my dick during the war!" you know this is a funny fucking flick.

While not up there with Evil Dead or Re-animator is still fucking close. So if your a horror fan and wanna to know what to expect from Gunn Guardians check this flick out.

Check it out if you liked/Avoid if you hated: Evil Dead2, The Thing and the Fly.

FUBAR Film Review Classic: Army of Darkness.

The Evil Dead movies kick ass...Evil Dead one was a savage assault on the senses via sound and tone, it was nasty gritty and just plain evil. Evil Dead 2: Dead buy Dawn was basicly a remake with the comedy sense of a loony toons cartoon. The gore and horror was so over the top you had to love and laugh at it.
So that leaves us with Army of Darkness AKA Evil Dead 3 AKA Medi-evil Dead AKA Bruce Campbell vs The Army of Darkness ((also in Japan its known as Captain supermarkert vs the evil dead. Dear santa this year I need a life!)). This is what you would get if you crossed the Three Stooges, Krull and night of the living dead. It amps up the comedy even more for this installment and dropped the horror element alot which is why when it was released at first the fans hated it.

The movie starts off right where Dead buy dawn left off Ash is trapped in 1300 A.D because of the Book of the dead. Ash is captured ((which is odd cause in Dead buy Dawn he slays a winged Deadite and is hailed a hero...Oh god this is why no woman will touch me)) and brought back to a Castle fortress.There hes tossed into a pit and has to off a couple of Nasties and is then made a  hero...reluctently so. Somthing you should also know is another reason the film didnt do well with the fans is cause Ash is a bit of dick in this movie however I could see where Campbell was going with this idea...look at it this way! Your friends have all been slaughtered, you'v been tortured buy an evil force whos trying to break your mind, you'v cut off your hand and you'v been fucked back in time...who could blame you for acting the cunt.
So Ash is told to bring back the back to the castle where the Kings wisemen can send him back and destroy the evil once and for all. Ash quests for the book having to battle a number of beasties rangeing from mini-evil versions of himself to a grave yard of manhandling skeletons. When he evently gets the book he fucks up and leads the army of darkness back to the Castle. What ensues is the funniest,dumbest and most swashbuckling badass battle ever seen ((I mean youv puppet skeletons screaming "Lets get outta here"))

Campbell is awesome in this movie playing Duel roles as both good and bad Ash. Good Ash is a dick who hates everyone and is just a dumb selfish blowheart who only saving grace is killing monsters. You root for him not cause you like him more that your stuck with him which isnt a bad thing cause which is cooler a hero with a few flaws or a very flawed guys who is a hero. As Bad Ash he rocks as well, he straddles the line between classic and cheese villean Bad Ash rocks with lines like "I will command every worm infested son-of a bitch in this grave yard" Hes undead, has a skeleton army and is Bruce Campbells evil double how can he not be badass. Ofcourse  I couldnt mention Ash in Army of Darkness with out mentioning the oneliners. You couldnt have army without Ash and you couldnt have Ash with out his quips. These are fucking crazy...you say these in the real world you would be killed but Im still tempted to say them. Like his line to Henrey the Red "Right now you leading one of two things jack and shit and jack left town so all you got left is shit. But as god is my witness I will use the line "give me some suger baby" even if I get slapped in the face or with a restraining order.

While Army isnt the best of the three movies its buy no way the worst either it just sits to the side like a loveable cousin who snuck into a family photo. Army of Darkness is Rami and Campell at there best having a laugh and making a fun flick.

Watch if you liked /Aviod if you hated: Evil Dead 1+2, Conan, jackass, Time Bandits and having any bit of fun in your life.

((Groovy!!!!)



FUBAR Film Review:The Exterminator

Being a Big Super fan of the Punisher people tend to ask me which is my favourite Punisher Movie..is it Dulphs outing as Frank which was shot with ozzy gangsters or maybe the Movie with Tom Janes Frank being the only saving grace to the hole mess or prehaps is Ray Stevensons outting as Castle that fed my hunger for blood with its over the top boring blood letting. My answer is kids its none of these.
The Best Punisher movie in my view isnt even a Punisher flick.

In 1980 grindhouse was still in full swing and the grot mongers were eager to cash in on the Veitnam hype with the likes of deer hunter bringing home the big bucks. Out of an number of godaweful shite came a pretty cool vet-vigilante movie called The Exterminator.

The Movie starts with a bang when some G.Is are captured buy the viet kong and before John Eastland the last member of his unit can chew the wrong side of a machete his Buddy Jefferson turns up with a M-60 and makes charlie into seven types of swiss fucking cheese and pull his buddies ass outta the shit.

So both guys get back home states side and work on the docks together. So when some punks cripple Eastlands buddy he decides to hunt down the scum who fucked up his mate. Then Esterland finds out that Jeffersons boss who is bening strong armed buy the mob wont pay his wife his back pay. So he hunts down that fucker two and makes some use of the dock meatgrinder(do not east taco chips while watching this movie).....and so Esterland deicdes his good at bringing justice to the injust. Pimps.pedos. punks and scum he hunts them all and deals out death via, blades, bullits and fire....he likes fire. Now at this stage your wonder wait this flicks just like death wish. Well trust me it aint...bronson never delt out this much pain and wait till you hear the sub-plot. The paper makes Esterland a hero and name him the Exterminator. Not only do the police freak but the C.I...Fucken....A thinks his a commie agent sent to discredit the American police force and decide to hunt him down.

Robert Ginty is a fucken rockstar in this movie.Hes an ice man and your left wondering is he doing this cause he thinks he's doing the right thing or does he enjoy it. He coins a wicked catchphrease " If your lying...Ill come back for ya" and even makes the world shitest lines sound cool.
Punk : "He was just a N***er!
Easterland: That N***ER WAS MY FRIEND!"
Punk:"Bu-"
Esterlands rifle:BANG
Punks head:POP!
Ginty later went on to do a sequal but it didnt have the same impact as this movie. If I could I have so loved to see him dawn a skull shirt and bomb around in a blacked out van. So whos my  favourite Punisher? Robert Ginty thats who motherfucker and if you dont like it....Ill come back for ya!

FUBAR Film Classic Review: The Wild Bunch

So I came home today to the tragic news that the great Ernest Borgnine Died today. Alot of you guys might have known him from Air Wolf but to me he'll always be Dutch in the Wild Bunch and with this sad news I decided to slap in my dvd copy of the flick and rewatch it and boy I forgot how good it was.
First off you should know that the Wild Bunch was directed buy Sam Peckinpah the man who made slow motion violance an artform. Pieckinpah didnt like conventions of normal Hollywood...the guy was afucking maverick and the Wild Bunch is where this really shines through. Made in 1969 when the concept of wild west movies were begining to die off the silver screen and the war in Veitnam was taking its tole on the united states the Wild Bunch bled out everything Peckinpah was feeling at the time.

This was a western unlike any other. The heros were not heros but outlaws who were cold blood in their efforts to survive a  changeing world. Led buy Pike Bishop whom is played buy Willeam Holden who is one badass motherfucker in this flick, the gang gun down innocent men and women in an effort to escape an ambush buy a group of hired guns and Pikes former partner Deke. These guys then decide to go mexico way and hire themselves out as mercs for a former bandido warlord named Mapache. He hires our boys to rob a train filled with U.S arms. The boys do rob the train only thing is Deke crew are onboard and give case. Now Im not going to give away this part buy how the lads escape the posse but its wicked and makes me wonder if Peckinpah hated horses.

So the boys escape and make it back with the goodies for Mapaches army, only thing is one of their own is related to the rebals who the worlord is fighting and he gets himself in a sticky situation. Bishop having displayed a cold and almost cruel outlook on the world from the start of the movie decides even that they got their reward from Mapache  that they should go back an save their commrade even if it means certain death. What happens is what I can only call one of the best gunbattles in movie history.

Why do I love this movie so much. In my view its one of the last purest westrens...The good guys arnt good guys ...their not even nice guys. I mean Ernest Borgnine useing a mexican peasent girl as a human fucking shield, the Bunch trample a group of chruch folk to death as they escape the ambush and they even end up turning on one of their own cause he was trying to do the right thing....but thats the whole point of this movie. Guys like Billy the kid and Jesse James were killers not the folk heros their were made out to be, if you wanted to survive back then you had to be ruthless. Yet despite all this you stick with these guys because their trying to survive in an age that no longer wants them...their dinosaurs on the way out and they have their own bizzare code of honour which they do seem to stick buy.Pike speech is excellet when he scolds one of the gang for attacking a his fellow outlaw "When you side with a man you stick with him...if you dont your just an animal."This statement later  resonates with Pike and he decides to make faithful choice that proves hes not just a beast trying to survive.
Also one cant help feel that Peckinpah was reflecting his own views on the Veitnam war...that while the U.S were indeed the good guys were didnt always do nice things to win fights.

Another reason I loved this movie is the Bunch themselves being a representation of the old west, a time and an ideal which is being killed buy the advanceing railroad and with it a new America. This theme has appeared from time to time in other westren movie but the only time Ive seen it been used to its full potentional is actully in a vido game I love, Red Dead Redemption. This game also shares the theme of the dieing west and an outlaw whos become a relic of his time although John Marston has more in Common with Deke rather then pike. The games also takes other nodds and ques from the movie such as helping mexican rebals,  hunting down your former outlaws for the goverment/railroad even your fromer parnters called Dutch after Borgnines character. All in all the Wild Bunch is one of the best westrens of all time and deserves a lads night in watch.

R.I.P Ernest Borgnine

FUBAR Film Review Classic: DOG SOLDIERS

Hard to belive its been 10 years since one of my top cult horror movies of all time came out. Dog Soldiers was one of the first in a line of gritty British Horror which begane to spring up along side 28 days later in the early naughtys.
The Story was simple take a bunch of likeable Bristish Squadys and pit them agenst werewolves. From the outset this is a blokes movie and you really like the lads which makes it even more compelling as their picked off one buy one. They talk like real blokes theres no "when I get home bullshit."
Kevin MCKidd is exellent as Copper the straightlace buy the book soldier who takes charge and is very reminiscent of Hicks from Aliens. Sean Pertwee  is another actor who shines as the salt of the earth Sargent Welles who dosent want to lose his men. But the scene stealer of the flick is my fan faveriote Irish actor Liam Cunningham as the slimy black ops commander Ryane. The man drips venom and Marshell sets you up to hate in very early in the film buy displaying his sheer crultey.
The movie also pulls an Evil Dead 2 buy jumping between horror and humour without ever sideing with one or the other. In one scene theres a tool up/weapons search((with epic background music)) of the house and you have one of the soldiers finding an electric turkey carver and considers useing it for a momment or two. Then theres private Spoon, the gung-ho nutball and some of his one liners....this is a bloke who gets into a fist fight with a werewolf and when hes about to be eaten says.
"I hope I give you the shits you fucken wimp" The one liners christ this movie got some wicked one liners...their so good youd wish you were in mortal danger so you could use them. Welles looks down at his intestines splayed out across his chest and groans "sausages" and when Copper is finished adressing the men with his battle plan he finishs with " and put the kettle on the boil we could all do with a brew."

This movie is sheer gold and its not suprising Neil Marshell went on to do the Descent what I consider to be up their with Alien in the atmosphere stakes.In all his movies you can see hes a fan and loves movies as much as the people he makes them for. He references everything from Hitchcock to Rami paying homage to those generes. Hes a movie lovers director, this can be seen in his savage  Roman invasion flick Centurion which looked epic on a small budget and it was this that snagged him the job of directing episode 9 in the second season of Game of Thrones which is supposed to be one epic battle called Blackwater.
 So Dog Soldiers in my mind is one of the coolest bloke movies ever and if you do intend on watching it call your mates over, break open a sixpack and prepare to "Howel "with laughter and excitement.

Watch it if you liked: Zulu,Alien, Evil Dead 2,Predator ,Jaws and the Howling or if your a bloke my age!



FUBAR Film Review: Hardware

So yeahe Ive been working on this new comic called Salvage and its gotten me into a taste for all things Cyberpunk.  A while back Id read a review in an issue of the  Darkside for a flick called Hardware. To me it seemed nothing more then a cheap terminator knockoff. Then I started working on Salvage and shelled out a lot of ideas for bio-mechs in the story. While doing this I got kinda intrested in techno cyberpunk horror and decided to check out some flicks and up poped Hardware agien. After reading up about it and how it was based on a 2000A.D strip called Shok! I decide being a comichead I had to get it and give it a shot.

So the fist part of the flick kicks off with the whole 2000A.D vibe of everythings fucked....the air, the sky and the cites. This nomad finds parts of a robot out in the nuclear wasteland and brings them back to the city ((Refered in some parts as Mega city one)) Who then sell to parts to war worn merc Moses "Hard Mo" Baxter played pretty well buy Dylan McDermott. Mo then gives the parts to his smoking hot girlfriend Jill potrayed in all her sexy stoner glory Miss Stacey Travis. So Mo comes back the bump uglies then fight....then Mo piss's off to find out more about the death machine gift he got his bird only for Jill to make it into a scultpture and get high off cockroach tea while her peeping tom neighbour gets his jollies off.
Mo finds out the thing is a M.A.R.K 13 and checks a passage in his bible Mark 13" No flesh shall be spared" Then he relises oh fuck .....just as the cazy ass deathmachine comes to life. Oh fuck me does it look fucked up...its Johnny five crossed with Peter Sutcliffe. I mean this things attmepts to rape Stacey Travis with its drill dick. At least the termintor just wanted to blow sarah Connors brains out....this thing was just fucking evil.  As a movie Hardware isnt groundbreaking buy any standerds but one can see why it has it cult status and its still a sweet looking horror movie. My only issue had with the plot was that most the characters were high....Jill gets high off cockroach tea, Shades gets high off L.S.D and Mo....well how Mo gets high is rather intresting but the fact was Iwas left wondering why. Okay the world they lived in was shitty hence why they might want to get stoned as fuck. Then I listened to the audio commentry buy Richard Stanly and it all be came clear. After several or so minutes of him ranting about how the army has robots the are just like this and how he used to drop acid and experience ever lasting peace followed buy never ending waves of sorrow I relised this guy has never been down to earth in a long time and in all lightlyhood never will.

So what am I going to give Hardware. Ill give it a 7/10. Its fun ,its gross and its....pretty fucking high.
Rent it if you liked/Aviod it if you hated: Terminator, clockwork orange and Dust Devil.

P.s listen out for Iggy Pop and look out for Motorheads Lemmy.

FUBAR film review :The Woman

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.
