‘The Woman’ – Lucky McKee’s Controversial Festival Hit Arrives on SCREAMBOX!
Back in 2012, Bloody Disgusting acquired Lucky McKee’s critically acclaimed The Woman after a firestorm of controversy that began at the Sundance Film Festival with a woman allegedly passing out in shock and this man losing his cool over the startling and uncomfortable content.
“This film outta be confiscated [and] burned. There’s no value in showing this to anyone,” he exclaimed.
Now, the film is coming back to us via Arrow Films and is now streaming on our very own SCREAMBOX alongside the film’s prequel, Offspring, both featuring a standout performance by Pollyanna McIntosh.
Evil lurks behind a suburban American family in this darkly disturbing film that at once outraged and thrilled critics across the country. The chiller has been awarded numerous festival prizes including Most Innovative Feature at the Montreal Fantasia Film Festival, Best Feature Film at the Rio Fantastic Festival, Best Actress at FrightFest UK and won the Grand Prize and the Audience Award at the Strasborgh International Film Festival.
Produced by MODERNCINÉ, the film stars acclaimed horror cult favorites Pollyanna McIntosh, Angela Bettis (May, “Dexter”) and Sean Bridgers.
“A domineering, upper-middle-class father abducts a feral woman while out on a day-long hunting trip. With his twisted set of ideals, he decides to embark upon a deranged project – to “civilize” her – a decision that he and his family will soon regret. Tearing apart the image of the all-American family, director Lucky McKee and writer Jack Ketchum unleash a savage depiction of the war of the sexes and nature versus civilization. Labeled one of the most controversial films of the year, The Woman is a must for all fans of horror.”

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
