The Woman

The Woman (2011)

Now this was a crazy movie...or at least it ended up being crazy. Started off pretty slow. Probably could have cut about 10 mins in the middle. It did end up building to a cool climax though.

Overall the acting was decent but the woman who plays "The Woman" does a really good job. She's fucking scary and believable as the savage, raised-by-wolves, backwoods type. Oddly, the guy who captures her comes off as a creepy Will Ferrell. That's not a bad thing though, it just adds to the weirdness of the whole family.

Amy didn't want to watch this one...can't say I blame her. It gets pretty gruesome.

My main gripe would be that they didn't go into any back story on "the Woman". The man discovers and captures her in order to civilize her, yet they don't seem to say why she isn't civilized.

  1. In the second pic she looks like the chick (yo-lindi?) from Die Antwoord but w/ dark hair. Scary! She also looks like she could be E's wife.

    Anyway, that flick looks pretty original. I'll probably check it out...
