    Storyline

    Edit
    Raised by wolves, the vulnerable last survivor of a cannibalistic tribe bathes wounded in a river somewhere in the lush woods of North-east Coast, where she used to roam free. In the eyes of the misogynistic lawyer, Chris, the naked beast-like savage seems to be the perfect trophy for his home; however, is there a place for a feral, flesh-eating primitive among civilised people? In the following days--bent on domesticating the untamed female by breaking her will--the sadistic man will make the woman his project, as Chris' dysfunctional family struggles to keep the proud predator in captivity. Although, pretty soon, no restraints, no training--and, certainly, no male supremacy--will be no match for the raging woman's raw and merciless retaliation. Can they escape from the monster's fury? —Nick Riganas

      The hole drilled through the basement door would not allow to have a direct view on the woman's face.

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits, we see the young girl interact with a bizarre figure. A weird scene indeed.

    Engaging and suspenseful
    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.
