The Woman

I agree with most of the other 5-6-7 star reviews. Read those for an idea of what you're in for. But dang, that "soundtrack" is terrible. Rather than using music that elevate the scenes, the film forces us to listen to entire songs -wuth lyrics - at almost every turn, and those songs have little to do with what's happening on screen. Like the director took a demo tape from his buddy's garage band and said "Sure, this'll do". Really the weakest part of the movie.

Gory in parts, but some cracking performances by the actors, and though a slightly predictable plot, it kept me at the edge of my seat nearly all the way through. A powerful performance from Pollyanna McIntosh. She stole the movie. She has just the right amount of masculine feral power mixed with feminine vulnerability to make her character truly believable and you root for her and the final denouement all the way through the film. The air of menace mixed with devastating elements of bullying and cruelty by the sadistic father and his effect on the psyches of his family are well handled and plausible.

Highly recommended.

Not at all what I expected. It was rather intense at many different points throughout and the characters always had my full attention. A nice tight script, albeit with some lose ends that left me wondering why? But overall this is a really good film, if you don't mind some graphic scenes.

first , iam surprised that not one reviewer yet mentioned that this is part two of a trilogy by ketchum...the first being a book a cant remember the title of off hand , and the second being a low budget horror flick called the off spring that came out a few years ago...i will say that to really gain insight and understand this movie you need to watch the cheese fest which is the offspring first...jack ketchum plays the alcoholic sheriff in that , and it s pretty bad , but will explain a lot...i wont spoil the offspring for you , just go and watch it ...i will say that the woman is from a tribe of cannibalistic children that were abandoned by their parents when they died off some time ago , and that ,movie/book, all takes place on the east coast islands around cape cod somewhere...the woman starts off right where off spring left off..thats why the beginning probably makes little sense to most viewers... I'm puzzled that the amount of disgust this movie generated , its not all that gory, no really bad or graphic rape scenes at all, its all left to your imagination...thats the scary part..i think movies like the saw series have no value and are mindless senseless waste of film...this movie however , has substance and tells a twisted story ...also worth mentioning is the lost , one of the greatest films I've seen in a long time...see it if you enjoyed this..

The was a decent movie. An odd premise but the film maker made it work. This music in it is downright awful. It's laughable it is so bad. The musician must have been great friends with the producers. There no other explanation. And it's not just that it's bad but it is mixed way too high. This could have been higher rated but the music is just a rookie mistake.
