The Woman

Finally caught up with this film after missing it at Frightfest in August, where it got fairly good reviews. On the surface its a tale about a dysfunctional family who embark on domesticating a primitive woman the father captures on a hunting trip. However the undercurrent focuses heavily on an abusive parent within the family and the nature of abuse itself. An original film that really builds in tension. Intelligently written, believably acted and well directed by Lucky McKee. It get the thumbs up from us. Definitely check it out.
7/10
