This is the sequel to a film called "Offspring", which I haven't seen. Maybe if I had watched that film first I would have understood "The Woman" better. Both films are based on novels by Jack Ketchum. Maybe the books give more background as well. To me the film just didn't make sense.
Chris Cleek is a lawyer who lives and works in a small town in the woods. One day while hunting he finds a woman living like a wild animal. He does what any other true American would do: he captures her and chains her up in his cellar so that he can civilise her. This involves washing her, feeding her oatmeal, dressing her like an Amish girl and raping her. When the woman finally escapes, surprise surprise, she gets revenge by going on a killing spree.
The real monster in the film isn't the woman, it's the lawyer and his son. The father doesn't hesitate to beat up his daughter's geology teacher when she visits him to complain about her performance in school. The son cuts off the wild woman's nipple then stands masturbating. It's a horrible film about horrible people. Strangely, critics have praised this film. I don't. Give it a miss.
