Alot of the times when something gets the 'controversial' added to, most of the time its sensationalism though sometimes that thing or in our case a movie it actually lives up to the billing and Lucky McKee's THE WOMAN certainly does! I'll be honest until I was speaking to Pierre as well as posting information on Frightfest I have never really heard much about The Woman even with the man who got thrown out the preview of the film for protesting ranting the movie was depraved and not art at this years Sundance Film Festival . This movie will disturb, horrify and most of all shock you, check out the recently released Australian trailer:
The Woman is the last surviving member of a feral clan that has roamed the Northeast Coast for decades. When the last of her family is killed in a battle with the police, The Woman finds herself alone, severely wounded and vulnerable. Unfortunately, she is now a far too easy prey for local hunter, successful country lawyer and seriously disturbed family man Christopher Cleek. With his twisted set of ideals, Cleek decides to embark upon a deranged project - to capture her and "break" The Woman - a decision that will soon threaten the lives of Cleek, his family and The Woman.
THE WOMAN will be playing at this years Film 4 Frightfest and is one of the highly anticipated movies of the festival but will the movie come up against the problems of A Serbian Film ?. Monster Pictures are the only distributor with rights and will distribute the movie uncut in Oz as for the rest of us we'll have to wait and see!
The Woman stars Angela Bettis, Pollyanna McIntosh, and Sean Bridgers.

This is the film that made one woman faint while trying to walk out the theatre and then made a guy shout an angry tirade at the crowd after it was over!
