Bloody Disgusting Selects: Breathtaking UK Quad for ‘The Woman’!

With a full trailer coming in the next few days, inside you’ll now find the official UK quad for Lucky McKee’s The Woman (review), which will arrive in limited AMC theaters on October 14 from Bloody Disgusting Selects.

The Woman, from McKee and horror writer Jack Ketchum, is the most controversial film of the year starring Pollyanna McIntosh, Sean Bridgers and Angela Bettis. The Woman, a companion piece to Ketchum’s Offspring, was the center of controversy at this past January’s Sundance Film Festival when an audience member got worked up over its graphic content and said it should be “confiscated and burned.”

From producers Andrew van den Houten and Robert Tonino, “The Woman is the last surviving member of a feral clan that has roamed the Northeast Coast for decades. When the last of her family is killed in a battle with the police, The Woman finds herself alone, severely wounded and vulnerable. Unfortunately, she is now a far too easy prey for local hunter, successful country lawyer and seriously disturbed family man Christopher Cleek. With his twisted set of ideals, Cleek decides to embark upon a deranged project – to capture her and “break” The Woman – a decision that will soon threaten the lives of Cleek, his family and The Woman.

Bloody Disgusting Selects: Aussie Trailer for ‘The Woman’

I was hoping we could have cut our own trailer before international distributors would release their version, but unfortunately what we have for you today is a pretty weak sauce Australian trailer for Lucky McKee’s The Woman (review), which we’ll be releasing in theaters uncut this fall. Alas, inside you’ll find the FIRST EVER footage from the film starring horror fav Angela Bettis (who starred in McKee’s May).

The Woman, a companion piece to Jack Ketchum’s Offspring, was the center of controversy at the this past January’s Sundance Film Festival when an audience member got worked up over its graphic content and said it should be “confiscated and burned.”

Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers, Deadwood) is a small town court officer living a quiet, seemingly normal life in the heart of Maine with his beloved family. That is, until Chris discovers a feral woman roaming the woods and makes it the family’s project to civilise her. But as the family’s methods of forcing civility upon the woman become ever more extreme, the perverse bonds uniting them will be cast into violent relief.

Sundance ’11 REVIEW: Lucky McKee Returns to Horror Glory With ‘The Woman’!

I hate throwing backhanded compliments, but I wasn’t expecting Lucky McKee’s The Woman to change the horror world. I figured it would come and go, and we’d forget all about it. I started seeing positive reviews trickling across the web and couldn’t stop from asking myself, “for real?” He’s for real alright. Ryan Daley came out of the Sundance Film Festival screening raving. I believe – based on his score – that THIS Jack Ketchum collaboration was indeed his favorite of the fest.

Potent and disturbing, it’s the sort of movie serious, open-minded horror fans live for… you`ve got a future cult classic on your hands.
