Short budget gory stuff which serves as a better follow-up to The Offspring (2009) . When a successful country lawyer , Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers), combs the impenetrable woods to find a cannibal girl , he captures her and attempts to "civilize" the last remaining member of a violent clan that has roamed the Northeast coast for decades . But then he puts the lives of his family in jeopardy due to her appetite-driven primitives. Chris is married to a mistreated wife (Angela Bettis) and they have three children : the oldest daughter Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter) sits off to the side clearly detached as well as upset , a little girl and an only son , the underdog Brian Cleek (Zach Rand) . Then the rugged, feral woman (Pollyanna McIntosh) will seek vengeance . Not every monster lives in the wild. Hell Hath No Fury...A Horror Masterpiece! Powerful, Brutal and Beautiful... Amazing!
This interesting horror movie contains intrigue , violence , plot twists and some attractive forest landscapes .The flick is gruesome enough and the cannibal woman is believable, if you ignore their origin story completely . This motion picture was rated ¨R¨ for its excessive violence , sex , profanity and loathing scenes . This film is a sequel to "The Offspring" (2009) in which survivors of a feral flesh-eating clan are chowing their way through the locals and they strive to survive their abduction by the cannibals and save their children , but this "The Woman" (2012) is much better than The Offspring . The novel written in conjunction with the movie has some provoking extra facts about the story and the roles , as several aspects of the film were left on the cutting room floor. The best acting goes to Pollyanna McIntosh as the flesh-eating cave-dwelling savage who steals the show playing such a scary character.
The motion picture was originally directed by Lucky McKee who's an expert on horror flicks . In 1999, he collaborated with making his first feature movie, which was a very low budget horror film titled All Cheerleaders Die (2001). Shot on high definition videotape over a period of two four-day weekends, All Cheerleaders Die (2001) was a splatter comedy about the rivalry between a group of high school jocks and four cheerleaders who accidentally die and are brought back to life to seek revenge. McKee wrote the screenplay for a short film titled 'Fraction', as well as the screenplay for the feature movie May (2002) which was inspired by 'Mary Shelley''s Frankenstein and the moodiness of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver with a cast of independent film actors who included Texas-born Angela Bettis in the starring role, as well as Jeremy Sisto and Anna Faris. In 2005, McKee was offered by United Artists to direct the David Ross script The Woods (2006), another horror film shot in and around Montreal, Canada and starring some first-rate actors like Agnes Bruckner, Patricia Clarkson and Bruce Campbell about a haunted woods. Also in 2005, McKee was brought on by Mick Garris as one of the many film directors to direct an episode for Masters of Horror (2005) with the episode "Sick Girl" with Angela Bettis , McKee's fetish actress. And after he directed Red (2008) with Brian Cox and Kim Dickens, Tales of Halloween (2015) , Blood Money (2017) , Deathcember (2019) , Kindred Spirits (2019) , Old Man (2022) ,among others. Rating : 6/10 . Some twisted and creepy scenes make this unique enough to kept me interested throughout the film. A good horror story , made at the same time a book, with some gruesome graphics, but cheap production values.
