The Woman Plot Synopsis:
Raised by wolves, the vulnerable last survivor of a cannibalistic tribe bathes wounded in a river somewhere in the lush woods of North-east Coast, where she used to roam free. In the eyes of the misogynistic lawyer, Chris, the naked beast-like savage seems to be the perfect trophy for his home; however, is there a place for a feral, flesh-eating primitive among civilised people? In the following days--bent on domesticating the untamed female by breaking her will--the sad**tic man will make the woman his project, as Chris' dysfunctional family struggles to keep the proud predator in captivity. Although, pretty soon, no restraints, no training--and, certainly, no male supremacy--will be no match for the raging woman's raw and merciless retaliation. Can they escape from the monster's fury?
Based on the bestselling novel by Jack Ketchum and directed by Lucky McKee, "The Woman" is all about torture and dirty little secrets. A country lawyer tries to domesticate the last remaining member of a violent clan but in the process puts his own family in harms way.Starring Pollyanna McIntosh, Sean Bridgers and Angela Bettis, the film prompted furious debates and walkouts during its world premiere in the Park City at Midnight program at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Reports surfaced of people becoming sick while watching the graphic scenes and one irate Sundance audience member went so far as to say "The Woman" "ought to be confiscated, burned. There"s no value in showing this to anyone." Whether a "wonderfully bizarre tale" or an "inhumane degradation of women"" you"ll have to decide for yourself.More: Most Anticipated Horror Movies Coming Soon in 2026-2027!
