Back in 2012, Bloody Disgusting acquired Lucky McKee’s critically acclaimed The Woman after a firestorm of controversy that began at the Sundance Film Festival with a woman allegedly passing out in shock and this man losing his cool over the startling and uncomfortable content.
“This film outta be confiscated [and] burned. There’s no value in showing this to anyone,” he exclaimed.
Now, the film is coming back to us via Arrow Films and is now streaming on our very own SCREAMBOX alongside the film’s prequel, Offspring, both featuring a standout performance by Pollyanna McIntosh.
Evil lurks behind a suburban American family in this darkly disturbing film that at once outraged and thrilled critics across the country. The chiller has been awarded numerous festival prizes including Most Innovative Feature at the Montreal Fantasia Film Festival, Best Feature Film at the Rio Fantastic Festival, Best Actress at FrightFest UK and won the Grand Prize and the Audience Award at the Strasborgh International Film Festival.
Produced by MODERNCINÉ, the film stars acclaimed horror cult favorites Pollyanna McIntosh, Angela Bettis (May, “Dexter”) and Sean Bridgers.
“A domineering, upper-middle-class father abducts a feral woman while out on a day-long hunting trip. With his twisted set of ideals, he decides to embark upon a deranged project – to “civilize” her – a decision that he and his family will soon regret. Tearing apart the image of the all-American family, director Lucky McKee and writer Jack Ketchum unleash a savage depiction of the war of the sexes and nature versus civilization. Labeled one of the most controversial films of the year, The Woman is a must for all fans of horror.”
