The Woman (2011)

A family man finds a feral woman and decides to civilise her.

A sequel to another horror about cannibals terrorising families in search of children to join their clan. A tad obvious from the start about what direction it will follow and who the audience will hate, the film develops awkwardly into an intense amalgam of injustices and a whirlwind of shocking revelations that make the ending quite satisfying.
The gory part is well done but the story has elements that do not fit together very well, with a film student video quality (which is excusable because it seems to be part of the film's artistry intentionally), and the performance of some of the actors is substandard. However Polyanna McIntosh (in the role of the woman, a familiar face from The Walking Dead) and Zach Rand (the son of the family) are still very capable and convincing.

Directed by: Lucky McKee
Featuring: Pollyanna McIntosh, Sean Bridgers, Angela Bettis, Lauren Ashley Carter, Zach Rand, Marcia Bennett

Rating: 6/10
