THE WOMAN (2011)

[indianasmith]

This is a new release from the aptly named "Bloody Disgusting Collective", and it earns the title!

A successful rural attorney finds a feral woman living in the woods and decides to trap her and bring her home so he and his family can civilize her.  You quickly find that this almost ideal American family is not just dysfunctional but actively psychotic.  The husband Chris Cleek (played by Sean Bridgers) is a Bundy-esque psychopath, abusing his terrified wife and holding absolute command over his family.  His daughter Peggy is pregnant and trying to hide the secret from everyone, and his son Brian is taking after his old man.
   All of which doesn't lead to a happy experience in domestication for our feral female. She is chained in a basement, forcibly cleaned with a hose, and then has to experience sexual abuse at the hands of both father and son.  But when a well meaning schoolteacher tries to let the family know her concerns about Peggy, the tense situation breaks down completely and the audience gets to see who is the real beast.

  This is indeed a bloody and disgusting film!  Gorehounds will love the ending, and feminists will find an odd antihero in the feral woman who, in the end, becomes a powerful force for justice.  I put this in the "bad movie" section because the gore is so over the top, and the characters are somewhat one-dimensional, but it is still a movie that bad movie lovers might really enjoy.
