Raised by wolves, the wounded last survivor of a cannibal tribe bathes in a river in the lush woods of the North-east Coast, where she used to roam free.
But in the eyes of misogynistic lawyer Chris, the naked savage is the perfect trophy, and in the following days, the sadist will try to make her his project, bent on domesticating the untamed female by breaking her will.
More than anything, Chris and his dysfunctional family want to keep the proud predator in captivity, though they are no match for the feral, flesh-eating primitive in the cellar and her raw and merciless revenge.....
The message here is simple. The Nuclear domesticated family are more of an animal than someone who has lived in nature for her entire life. And that's at the heart of The Woman, the titular character was at peace, she appeared to have come to terms with her solidarity, only to have it taken away from her by some upper middle class moron who wanted a trophy. And why? So he had something else to control?
The real antagonist here is Chris, he's the real villain of the piece, and just like John Rambo, if he had just left her to her own devices, none of the aftermath would have happened, and I for one am glad it happened, because it reveals true human nature, and how, when we are at the top of our game, do we look down at people. Why do powerful people have to be so arrogant?
The Woman answers all those questions and it is true, hell has no fury like a woman scorned. And when this women becomes loose, she gives the family hell, and then some.
It can be a very unnerving and sadistic film at times, but it does get it's message across.
