During the Texas Frightmare weekend, Jenny Rebekah gave a great rating to a little film called The Woman. Now it has a full length trailer in anticipation of a theatrical release.
Plot Summary: The Woman is based on the third novel in Jack Ketchum’s Dead River series, which follows a primitive cannibalistic clan as they find their prey up and down the East Coast. The second novel Offspring was made into a film that went direct to DVD in 2009, and featured more graphic and gory depictions of the clan. Director Lucky McKee has collaborated with Ketchum in the past and wrote the follow up to Offspring with him, with the intention of adapting it into a film. In true Lucky McKee style, The Woman focuses less on the graphic horror of cannibalism and more on the realistic horror of the situation.
The film was fairly controversial at Sundance, where a man walked out because he was so “offended” by the film. It was captured and posted on YouTube, so you can see it below.
