9.00 pm - saturday 27th August - the woman

UK Premiere

Director Lucky McKee. Starring Pollyanna McIntosh, Angela Bettis, Sean Bridgers, Zach Rand, Lauren Ashley Carter, USA 2011, 100 mins.

From author Jack Ketchum (THE LOST, THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, RED) and director Lucky McKee (MAY) comes a scandalous tale of two extremes, a feral female force of nature and an abusive parent, on collision course for a brutal showdown with a family caught in between. When Chris Cleek discovers a primitive woman in the wilderness on a hunting trip, he traps and locks her up in a cellar to domesticate her into a civilised human being. Assigning other Cleek family members to her care, the treatment of the woman shifts from compassionate to vicious; from sexual to violent. McKee tests the limits of viewers’ tolerance with genuine shocks and scares that don’t need sharp weapons to make a disturbing statement. With psychological twists and emotional reveals that keep its haunting climax impossible to turn away from, this stark study of a dysfunctional family is unforgettable.
