The Woman (2011)

Wow, this was the biggest piece of trash. And the reviews on here are hysterical. "Oh this a brilliant piece of feminism vs the patriarchy." Spare me, this is just a really laughably horribly bad film about absolutely nothing. Guy kidnaps a woman running free raised by dogs (not a cartoon FYI) and keeps her in a barn where he forces his family to take care of her while he predictably rapes her, impregnates his daughter, beats his wife and raises a reprobate son. All this in a slow pace with horrific loud lousy music and amateur production. I was laughing at the end of this. Cave woman gets to go back to the woods with the now found and released dog lady and they take the little girl. Anyone trying to justify this or seeing anything more to this trash probably likes a modern painting that looks like a three year old scribbled for an hour. Pretentious fools also buy those for insane amounts of money and wax poetic about the meaning but in the end it is just trash no one is willing to call out as trash.

Lucky McKee does it again with an awesome adaptation of Jack Ketchum's novel. This one has a lawyer hunting in the woods when he finds a woman who appears to live in the forest in a primitive manner. She just grunts and looks feral. This doesn't stop the man from trapping her, then taking her to his basement. She is chained up and kept for his amusement (mostly sexually). He has a wife. two daughters and a son who are all shown the wild woman. They all think its cool to have a new pet except for mom and the oldest daughter. Things get much worse.Jack Ketchum loves to write about women being held captive if you remember the film The Girl Next Door (2007) in which a young girl is kept in the basement. That movie kicked ass as well. You get right into this film immediately and it never lets up. Just when you think you seen it all the lawyer keeps one upping his depravities. A simple plot proves really entertaining. If you haven't seen this one, or The Girl Next Door, make sure you do.

When a deliciously mad Australian country lawyer, with all the appearance of being "normal", captures and attempts to "civilize" a feral member of a violent clan that has roamed the northeast coast for years, much latent, longstanding family dysfunction erupts. Incredulously outrageous mayhem soon ensues. Only Australia could have produced this dark, multi-layered film with so much targeted irony. The title carries a well-deserved 6.1/10.0 on I.M.Db...but the brief synopsis fails to fully describe its twisted content. I found it thoroughly diverting & sometimes grizzly through its 100 minutes. Warning! It's tough at times for those with weaker constitutions.

Either i'm missing something here or the reviews here are more than a little odd. This films dreadful. I wanted to slap the daughter around myself half way through the acting was so one dimensional. That's something for me when i cant usually spot bad acting. The pacing of the films muddled and is so full of plot holes you'd be mistaken you were watching a bad 70's soap opera. Its bad, very bad and if you don't believe me watch it. You to, will be scratching your head at anything over 5 for a review. The characters are very flawed and don't seem to really know who they are. Ironically, except the teacher who's done over before shes had a chance to and the feral one. At one stage i'm wondering why after the protagonist loses it why on earth someone wouldn't call the Police, not just once, but several times. Its comically bad. The end? Haha, i save reviews for films that have left me angry that someones had the audacity to release. Watch it.
