Almost a decade after Lucky McKee burst upon the indie horror scene and became a ‘Master of Horror’ in the making thanks to his directorial debut May, he teamed up with legendary cult author Jack Ketchum for his most shocking and brutal film to date: The Woman, an instant cause célèbre on its Sundance premiere and very showed up on my ‘radar’ when many of my favourite podcasts and website started talking about the film. When I had the chance, I picked up the DVD and from the opening moments, I was hooked. Only months later learning that The Woman was a follow on (but works just as well as a standalone film) to the movie Offspring. Through the years I have had the privilege of sitting down and chatting with the star of The Woman and Offspring. Pollyanna McIntosh. To this date, The Woman is one of my favourite films of all time and so I was super excited when I saw filmmaker Lucky McKee tweet out about the special edition coming to our blu ray players.

The Woman (Pollyanna McIntosh, The Walking Dead) is the last surviving member of a deadly clan of feral cannibals that has roamed the American wilderness for decades. When successful country lawyer Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers, Room) stumbles upon her whilst hunting in the woods, he decides to capture and “civilize” her with the help of his seemingly perfect all-American family, including his wife Belle (Angela Bettis, May) and daughter Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter, Darling). The Cleeks will soon learn, however, that hell hath no fury like The Woman scorned…

Experience McKee and Ketchum’s uncompromisingly twisted vision of the dark side of the American family in a definitive new edition, including a 4K remaster, brand new bonus features, and a bonus disc featuring a brand new restoration of its gut-churning 2009 predecessor Offspring, also starring McIntosh.
