Review of The Woman (2011) by John B — 23 May 2012
Disturbing and effective tale of madness and gender politics from Lucky McKee and Jack Ketchum. Sean Bridgers does a great job as the creepy and seriously disturbed head of a not-so-normal family. Be aware that it does use violence and gore to explore its themes, so it is not for all tastes.
Some have called the film misogynistic, though others have argued effectively that the film is a "feminist parable". I side w/ the later opinion. Also of note, this is a sequel to "The Offspring".
Having not seen that film, I can say this film can be watched and enjoyed without having seen its predecessor.
