Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Alice C Wow, this was the biggest piece of trash. And the reviews on here are hysterical. "Oh this a brilliant piece of feminism vs the patriarchy." Spare me, this is just a really laughably horribly bad film about absolutely nothing. Guy kidnaps a woman running free raised by dogs (not a cartoon FYI) and keeps her in a barn where he forces his family to take care of her while he predictably rapes her, impregnates his daughter, beats his wife and raises a reprobate son. All this in a slow pace with horrific loud lousy music and amateur production. I was laughing at the end of this. Cave woman gets to go back to the woods with the now found and released dog lady and they take the little girl. Anyone trying to justify this or seeing anything more to this trash probably likes a modern painting that looks like a three year old scribbled for an hour. Pretentious fools also buy those for insane amounts of money and wax poetic about the meaning but in the end it is just trash no one is willing to call out as trash.
rdoyle29 An attorney finds a feral woman living alone in the woods and he captures her and sticks her in his cellar. He reveals her presence to his family and enlists them all in his project to "civilize" her. Not that this household is civilized. The father rules the family through violence and intimidation, and he is passing this lesson on to his son. The efforts to train the feral woman become increasingly violent and turn to sexual assault. Everything ends in a spectacularly gory comeuppance and the establishing of a new family unit. This film is far from subtle, but it's a pretty nifty allegory on power, violence and the male dominance of the family.
Melanie Martinsson A friendly family finds a wild woman in the woods and decides to domesticate her. You don't need to know much else. It's not very scary though so don't worry. You can watch this with your significant other. You should, actually. Every actor is doing just brilliantly in this film, and the direction has a little offbeat delivery which I love. This is feminist, in an absurd way, and absurd feminism is what we all love and cherish.It questions the nature of the Household itself, and it speaks volumes about the inherent rage and lust in human beings. Please take note also how every character throughout the movie evolves together with the Woman, it's just damn good writing right there. Great soundtrack too, with no respect for pacing, just as it should be. One of the best intelligent horror films I have ever seen, right up there with Scream, Babadook, and It Follows. Free her from herself, from her baser instincts! Christ this movie is just a quote machine.
Jodie Rosso This is not a film for the weak stomached. It took me some strength to make it to the end. The use of sound in this film is very effective and the brutality will stay will me. Im despairing at humans right now with a disgusted look stained on my face. Take warning, nothing in this film will make you feel hopeful, happy or relaxed. Its violent and disgusting. I need some serious Disney therapy after this powerfully brutal film. I am violeted in every single way and need cuddles! No wonder I had a gut feeling about watching this, i put it off for weeks and weeks and now i wish i had trusted myself. Effective film. horryfying and eternally shocking.
