, the 2009 film version of jack ketchum' s second novel about feral cannibal people living in the caves of maine. i say i' m going back to it because i tried to watch it online once many months ago and it pooped out on me halfway through .
the movie opens with the feral woman (pollyanna mcintosh) circling what appears as her child. a wolf, apparently tamed by the feral woman, circles the infant as well but does it no harm. although it is not referenced in the film, the woman is the last remaining member of a cannibalistic tribe that has roamed the north - east coast for decades (as seen in the 2009 film
offspring really doesn’t bring anything new to the genre; the idea of cannibalistic clans has been seen in many films such as the texas chainsaw massacre, the hills have eyes and even modern films like wrong turn. the clan in offspring however isn’t really a family, which is why they do not look alike, they are all children that are stolen from other homes and raised by the feral clan, now you see why it’s called offspring .
andrew van den houten’s film offspring is a sequel to the jack ketchum novel off - season; one however doesn’t need to read the book to understand what is going on in the film everything gets explained at one point or another. jack ketchum also wrote the script for the film, you may remember a few years ago a couple other film adaptations were made from his work most notably the lost and the girl next door. ketchum’s style of horror is the kind of nightmare that can happen at anytime and anywhere to anyone you know .
woo... where to even begin with this. hello hello, it is me - occasional tweeter, semi - aesthetic film instagrammer, and self - professed' former film blogg ...
the set pieces of offspring are set up very well and the sets are wonderful to look at. andrew van den houten did a very good job at capturing these horrible acts on film, and he didn’t over use the “shaky cam” technique (pay attention film makers). i will state that some of the dialogue is not that great and the cast is limited in the performance in most parts, however if you are a fan of the survival horror branch of our beloved genre offspring is definitely one to add to your collection .
just saw the woman, it like totally freaked me out. i had to research it. which brings me to the offspring. wow, i love a good horror movie... . .
lucky mckee' s the woman is one of the most original and violent horror movies of the past few years, it has a cruel story shot with a fantastic cinematography and an even better score by sean spillane whose music i' ve listened a lot. it' s disturbing and a very fresh take in the horror genre. for my susprise, i' ve just discovered throught katherine backoff that the woman is a sequel for the totally underseen 2009

offspring is a movie starring jessica butler, kelly carey, and holter graham. a clan of cannibalistic inbred savages which plague the northeast coastline since 1858, is after an unsuspected family and their innocent baby girl .
ha! just finished watching the woman on chiller - and here i am! can' t figure out if the woman is the sequel to the offspring? seems to have a better storyline than just killer cannibals ...
good to see that you reviewed a film willingly that i was' forced' to do as part of project terrible this round. damn !
( according to imdb, there is a version out there that is about 20 minutes longer than the cut i watched. for this reason, i almost don' t feel right about rating the film, because i' m open to the idea that another 20 minutes could have corrected some of the problems i had with it. but i have to review the film i watched, not the film i might have watched. )

while it' s mostly the aftermath that' s shown, the film pulls few punches in its depiction of violence by, or against children. far from a good movie, offspring is the neolithic brethren compared to the other ketchum based movies. for this picture, ketchum also stepped up and wrote the screenplay. having not read the novel, i do not know how faithful it is to his own source material .
isn' t it weird how we all searched for this? * * great film. i believe this would be my first cannibal movie and i loved it .

uma história sobre uma família de habitantes canibais das cavernas tinha tudo para ser risível apenas por tal premissa. entretanto, offspring consegue ser marcante nos pontos certos para um filme de terror, mesmo que a trama seja simples e com poucas ramificações a se explorarem. com um gore razoável e algumas mortes…
then news came in the fall that the film had been accepted into the sundance film festival. this was around the same time that ketchum was actually hosting and teaching a one month workshop with us. january rolled around and the elite of the independent filmmaking world descended upon park city, utah. the woman was slated to have its official worldwide premiere on sunday the 23rd .

the unrelenting gore and depravity is what makes this series of books famous and we can perhaps be thankful in that regard that offspring wasn' t optioned for a big budget film version. the filmmakers go all out in most of the scenes - dead babies, bloody torsos, beheading and brain - eating, a girl pulling a guy' s intestines out of his stomach with her teeth - it' s all here. these cannibals really enjoying killing their prey in the most gruesome ways, depicted to us in all the bloody glory the filmmakers can muster .
other than the ending of the film * it was pretty faithful to the novel from what i remember and as usual what works in a book doesnt always translate well to the screen i. e. the ex - husband. either way they both sucked in my opinion. i enjoyed off season well enough and other various ketchum novels but offspring was just a disappointing mess and the only reason i watched the film was to see how the hell they were gonna explain that this was a sequel. and why did the makers do that anyway? why make the sequel first when the original hasn' t even been filmed yet? * major spoiler - - - - - - - - - - - - - - in the novel the retired sheriff doesn' t die .

totally bizarre ketchum film adaptation is the lesser of the four evils made from his novels thus far. still, gore fans will slobber all over the nasty and brutal violence on display here. the frequent scenes of pugnacity bring to mind a modern cannibal holocaust and the hills have eyes, but the film feels strangely out of place with its feral, jungle dressed killers laying siege to rural families. worth a look, but compared with the other jack ketchum movies, you might be disappointed with the quality .
, offspring pales in comparison looking like the work of an amateur as opposed to an auteur. i' m not saying it' s a bad movie, it just seems less polished and rough around the edges. the director also has a brief appearance as a medical examiner. all of ketchum' s novel based movies have been dark affairs and this one carries the torch passed on by the others before it .
chalk this one up as a film that was overhyped. i did enjoy it, but i don' t understand the accolades. i didn' t care for any of the characters, beyond the asshole husband. that dude was cracking the shit outta me. because of that, the horrific events that followed didn' t affect me at all. that being said, i was entertained by everything. the wild bunch was interesting and i dug their look. the leader had a decent presence. the cops were worthless and only there to serve the body count. speaking of which, the gore was fantastic. the effects were the driving force of the film. i hear the woman is a better film. i' ll check that one out soon .
the dvd has a lot of extras, but none of them changed my mind on the film. there’s a standard 20 minute making of fluff piece of little use, especially if you’ve already watched the eight “webisodes” that cover the same goddamn material. then there’s a little piece about one of the actors being arrested for driving with a suspended license, which i guess is supposed to be funny. the full script is also available, a feature i haven’t seen for quite a long time (i skimmed a lot of it and didn’t see a single difference from the film) .
i also watched the woman on netfix. i did the same as you i did a lil googling lol. i think its so cool that more and more females are into the horror genre. i could never watch a horror film with any girl ive ever dated. you gals rock! !
your review was right on the money. i just got done watching this and still have no idea what the freaking thing was about! total was of time but at least i only paid 2 bucks for it, the money and time put in this film could have been used in so many better projects .
completely agree on mcintosh' performance, she was the only factor that made the film bearable outside of the bloody gore. so. . incredibly. . out of place. . if the cannibals had been toned down and not so outlandishly over the top i may have been able to accept them a little more readily
based on the acclaimed novel and adapted for the screen by best selling author, jack ketchum; offspring follows the survivors of a brutal flesh - eating clan that has re - surfaced in the once sleepy town of dead river, maine. the locals are in for a rude awakening when they realize it' s the same pack that the sheriff thought he killed off a decade ago. just when they thought the nightmare was over, they' re about to discover that the fight for their lives... has only just begun .
hi michele! glad to hear that someone appreciates the work of jack ketchum (real name dallas mayr). i adore many things horror and recently discovered him. just finished reading off season and am trying to locate offspring in novel form. thankfully my mother is a librarian, so let' s hope! the girl next door i saw a couple of years ago and didn' t know of the author and his work. seems like it was ok. really am hooked on the off season trilogy. want to experience more! thanks !
i' m really looking forward to seeing this. ketchum' s stuff is brutal on film, (if you' ve seen' the girl next door' you know what i mean). and i' ve loved lucky' s work.' may' was an unexpected treat for me, as was' red'. great interview dennis .
would continue the trend. and since it involved cannibalistic children, i figured it was a shoein for one of my favorite movies of the year. but alas, the film simply doesn’t work, due to an almost criminally bland approach to everything but the kill scenes, laughable costumes for the children, and an unnecessary mean streak that even i, lover of
this year at the sundance film festival our friend jack ketchum premiered his new film the woman to a crowd of unsuspecting press, filmmakers and festival - goers. the woman was co - written with lucky mckee, who also directed it. lucky is, in my opinion, one of the best horror filmmakers working today. with films such as may, the woods, red and what was easily the best entry of the master' s of horror anthology, sick girl, you could understand how excited i was when i read the news that both he and ketchum would be teaming up to not only pen the script for the woman together, but also collaborate on a movie tie - in novel at the same time .
easily the best performance in the film is from pollyanna mcintosh, the female leader of the band of brutes. despite their seemingly out of place and silly dress, these killers are utterly ruthless and bloodthirsty. a prolonged rape and torture scene towards the end is a highlight, or lowlight depending on one' s perspective. it was also nice to see art hindle
and that is where offspring belongs, its heart is firmly in the explortation era. its not shocking has those films, in fact its quite tame, and the movie may struggle to find much of an audience. what i mean by that is the low budget and dubious acting will put many off, and those who are a fans of the modern wrong turn may laugh at what is on offer, but there are a few who remember when these kind of films were the rage, will get a lot of kicks from watching and like i said before, the lack of any hero and character base means you will never know who will survive and for that, the unexpected edge is a huge bonus for a film that does what many has done before, and it needs to be watched just to be introduced to the character of the woman which the role is played brilliantly in both the films by pollyanna mcintosh, and for a double header……the two films are a brilliant watch .
after a prolonged start in which the film does not quite build the impending doom, maybe to do with the sub acting that at times gets on your nerves, the film kicks off when we visit the cave in which the humans animals live. we witness a sex scene in which one of these very young looking things gets on one of their relatives who is chained up and called a cow by their language of grunts which thanks to the aid of subtitles we get what they are saying. while she is jumping up and down in what is an uncomfortable scene due to the fact that there are very young children creatures watching the whole show, the leader of this clan is making plans to go the house and do what they do best .
) garnering praise and a few great actors in each, i’m a bit baffled why everyone in this film was a complete unknown. there’s a major character death that occurs around the halfway mark that should be a huge shock, but it doesn’t really work because i had no attachment whatsoever to the character. since there are so many other plot threads to deal with in the first act, they never really develop the guy beyond setting him up as a stock hero. at least with a well - known or even recognizable actor in the role, the audience would form that instant attachment to him and thus spare the need for excessive and time - consuming character development anyway. so what should be one of the film’s most shocking events is hardly even interesting .
lots of folks tell me the book is better; i will give them the benefit of the doubt, but the tone of ketchum’s script was just as big of a problem for me as the low - budget trappings, so i am wary to spare him any of the blame for this film’s shortcomings. the best thing i can say about it is that at least it was shorter than
when the attack happens, its here that the film mightily kicks off. the normal family is having a night in, there is a knock on the door and all of a sudden blood, death, rape, it all happens in what is a relentless horror assault and despite its quite low budget status, it really is a very strong horror set piece, that will delight all gore hounds .
the film does not stop there, those who die are left there and the unlucky ones get dragged back to the cave, and again this where the strong aspect of the film, the unexpectedly again kicks in. having been stunned at who dies, we then see kids die. ok not everyone’s cup of tea but there is a reason here, its not added on for shock value like some films do. when you fighting off survival and have these kids dressed in primitive clothes coming to attack you, what would you do, especially when they are holding knives and hatchets. you do anything to survive in those circumstances even though if it means killing young children. its not done in a gruesome way as well, its what would happen if normal people are confronted with blood thirsty children .
jack / lucky: yeah, that’s a great horror film. dennis: jack, what about you? jack: you’ve nailed most of them already. i thought a serbian film was pretty damn disturbing. really nasty. the first time i watched it i wasn’t real fond of it, but i was a little drunk. (laughs) but i watched it a second time and there’s this strange, real intelligence going on in it. and it’s really pretty vile, but it wants to disturb you. and i think it’s not just the next slasher flick or the next “saw 12. ” it’s got more on its mind than that. and the other one recently that disturbed me… umm, what was it, “caterpillar man? ” all three of us answer at the same time: “human centipede? ”
a disturbingly graphic, nightmarish tale of sadistic mayhem, as a nomadic clan of feral cannibals cross paths with two young families staying in a coastal cottage. it seems like there is no limit to the level of on - screen atrocities we are subjected to in this film; people are raped, tortured, and eaten alive, and children are brutally slain in full gory glory. it got to a point where it was almost too much for me, but luckily i stuck with it to it' s conclusion and i' m glad i did. because for all it' s gleeful brutality, i thought it was a pretty engrossing film and had a fair amount of thrills and suspense to keep me entertained throughout the most part. you' ll definitely need a strong stomach for this one though, you have been warned .
the fx in offspring are also done quite well there is plenty of the red stuff for all of the gore hounds out there. since the children mostly use knives and hatchets for their acts of carnage it does get pretty messy. there is of course the disembowelment scene i mentioned above but there is also a frightening scene in which amy is forced to breast feed one of the cannibal tribes stolen children which could easily make any viewers skin crawl. if that’s not enough for you there is a brutal scalping (if you can call it that) and a scene where the children put sharpened teeth over their own only to brutally bite and tear away the flesh of one of their victims .
so lets get to steve. now this is the clever part of the film. an ex husband of one of the family who get attacked and who is on his way to the house to cause trouble, he really is a disgusting excuse of a human being. when we first meet him, he picks up a female hitchhiker and then sexually assaults her. by the time he gets sucked into all the terror, the film makes you think who is the most brutal human being. these things that only know one way of living and at no fault of their own, or this man, that does things in here that you can cannot help but shake your head in disbelief. when the two attitudes clash, it brings a scene of shockness to the lengths at which steve goes to and its this theme that harks back to the 70’s when this social debate was a strong fore in horror films .
viewing offspring is a lot like a riding a rollercoaster, granted it’s a very messy one. the initial jump before the credits is enough to tide you over while andrew van den houten begins to set up the story for you. the characters are very likeable, even the child luke (normally characters like him annoy me in these types of films) and you actually start to worry and care about them as their evening gets progressively worse. the cannibalistic children also get ample screen time where the viewer gets to see exactly how the group lives and communicates with each other. the character stephen however is nothing but a creep; this is displayed in several scenes. the most noted scene however is when stephen picks up a young hitchhiker who is on her way to see her boyfriend .
not completely without it' s merits, but most of them are buried below a sea of shit. i like jack ketchum, his stories do have an extra something. the script is let down by some poor acting and hilariously awkward moments that just don' t fit. you can set up a character as a slimeball without such a heavy handed pervert / hitchhiker scene. the acting from the offspring / wild people is comic at best. one boy jumps into shot going
hee hee hee
, like some pantomime witch. the gore is done rather well, and there were nice parts, such as the first kill. it made a nice and chilling change to see a scene not played for jumps, but for the awkward silence. perhaps worth a watch, as it is short .
a decade after the sheriff of dead river, maine killed a murderous clan of cannibalistic savages, the nightmare returns to the sleepy small town in this brutal screen adaptation of jack ketchum' s terrifying novel (originally penned as a follow - up to his 1980 fiction debut off - season). ketchum adapts his novel for the screen in a film directed by andrew van den houten (who previously produced the feature adaptation of ketchum' s the girl next door). ~ jason buchanan, rovi
the fourth, and least of the brutally violent novels by jack ketchum adapted for the screen. the sequel novel to ketchum' s earlier' off season', this follow up was commissioned since the other was tied up in rights issues. i' ve read neither book, but judging from the film itself, it doesn' t seem to be a requirement to have read the prior tome. still, this movie version is a strange potpourri of graphic violence and italian cannibal movie conventions .
the viewer is then of course introduced to the halbard’s who seem to be a nice couple. during david and amy’s morning routine david mentions that he saw a strange young girl at the edge of their field, strange because she appeared to be naked from the waist up. amy then mentions to david that claire is coming up to visit with her son luke, both show signs that they really do not like claire’s husband stephen and there is of course good reason all revealed later in the film .
of course the police begin to investigate the murder and call in a seasoned vet named george peters to help them on the case. george is your stereotypical “i’m no longer on the force so i’m going to drink a lot and drop a lot of one liners” type of characters, very similar to the detectives in the film the lost. the police of course link the murders to the events eleven years ago and instantly they put a posse together and begin to search the coast line for the clans hide out so that they can stop the carnage before it starts again .
offspring starts by showing a drunken woman returning from the bar back to her house. the woman stumbles around drunkenly in her yard before she goes inside her house. once inside her house though she sees a sight that will strike fear into any parent’s heart. a group of children have invaded the house and are eating the babysitter who was left with her infant. it only takes a few seconds before these wild children (they are dressed in leather and furs and look as if they have spent most of their lives in the wild) turn to attack the woman. all of this happens before the opening credits begin to roll and this is one time that you should really pay attention to the opening credits because as they are played the viewer is shown various news paper clippings that tell the story from the off - season novel in a way to catch the viewer up to speed (the events take place eleven years after the novel) .
“the woman is an exploration of the very definition of horror. it is designed to incite feelings of fear, shock, nervousness, dismay, anxiety and disgust. it is designed to make you question what it is to be civilized, what it is to be feral and all the shades of gray in between. on a surface level, the film will make you jump, it will make you squirm and, for the more sensitive, it might even induce nausea. it will make you question my intentions in making it, as well as your own desire to watch it .
since my mother sat me down at the age of five years of age and watched a little called halloween, i have been hooked on horror. there is no other genre that gets me excited and takes me to the edge of entertainment. i watch everything from old, new, to cheap and blockbusters, but i promise all my readers that i will always give an honest opinion, and i hope whoever reads this review section, will find a film that they too can love as much as i do! have fun reading, and please do have nightmares! !! !! !
i' ve been a huge movie buff since childhood catching old horror and monster flicks on shock theater and kung fu movies at the drive - in during the late 70' s and early 80' s. i' ve had a long time fascination with, and appreciate all genres of fantastic cinema, good and bad. one fans cheese is another fans juicy steak. i like both equally and seldom find a film i truly dislike as i will find something of interest in just about anything. the bulk of the films or tv series' seen here are mostly from my childhood, or films i own in what has become an amazing colossal dvd collection .
what i liked about this horror and also what is the strongest aspect of the entire film, is that there are moments when the word unexpected will soak into your brain. what is the normal trait of all horrors are totally ignored, one point that emphasis this is that at the beginning we spend an enormous amount of time with one character who we all think must be the hero of the piece. the build up is quite nice, and just when you think that this one human will fight back, we are stunned by the fact that they die so brutally and harshly. it was that on that moment when this horror put me on a path of uncertainly and the unknown, and for that, i can only admire it .
for such uncertainly we do start with certainly, in a title sequence that is becoming a norm for horrors these days. newspaper cut outs in which you probably have to read, tell the story of a lighthouse family who went missing over 100 years ago in a storm. never to be found, over the years people, especially children have gone missing never to be seen again, and the myth is that the missing family survived the storm that engulfed the area and lived in the dense forest. over the years and a lot of inbreeding, they now live us cannibals, and their need for human flesh, results in many innocent people being killed and eaten. they also have a bizarre upbringing rule of stealing children to either have as their own or to kill, for the latter reason the film never quite explains. it is this rule that brings them to the family of the halbards, who have friends over and a newborn baby .
also, ketchum’s script (adapted from his own novel, something the credit designer decided to split into two separate title cards for some goddamn reason) is overly vile, for no reason. there’s an ex - husband character who we hate before we even meet him, because we know he slapped the wife around and forgot his kid’s birthday. so why spend five minutes on a scene where he picks up a teenage hitchhiker and tries to seduce her (and then throws her out of his car when she refuses, but not before groping her breast)? this is time that can be spent further developing the “hero” guy. then, later in the film, he sells out his ex to the cannibals, and smirks as they rape her. again - why? like we don’t already hate this guy? and then they don’t even offer us a particularly nasty demise for the asshole. he should have been castrated or torn to shreds by the children, but nope, he gets a simple decapitation. big deal .
along with tenacious producer andrew van den houten and a talented cast and crew, the team spent the next two years bringing the project out of the murky woods and into light. but what exactly was ambling its way out of those dark groves? and were we really prepared to see it in the flesh ?
and moments after the end credits began to roll, this happened ...
i watched the above the clip early monday morning and like most people who have seen it, was immediately transfixed by this upset man' s rant in the lobby of the theater. i felt we had something special in our hands with this clip. something that would touch a nerve with people and boil up feelings of intense curiosity, doubt and fear. so i went ahead and tweeted the clip out to over 305, 000 of chuck palahniuk' s followers on twitter. i then did the same thing to about 260, 000 of his fans on facebook. and i guess a lot of other sites did the same, because pretty soon the video went viral. as of my typing this, it' s about to hit 50, 000 views in under a week .
a day later, i was on the phone with andrew and lucky (still in park city at the time) and jack, via snowy nyc, in a four way call that lasted almost 90 mins. here, for the first time, is the exclusive reaction and backstory to what went down that cold night in utah, from all three of them. i started with andrew and jack, as lucky was running a little late due to another interview with the la times .
jack: yeah, that’s pretty whacky too. so i like those both. dennis: alright, final question. and this one is solely for the filmmakers: what’s your favorite jack ketchum novel? lucky: (thinks long) the woman. (laughs) dennis: hey, that’s not a fair answer. lucky: ha, no. i’d say the girl next door. it’s one of the most powerful pieces of writing i’ve ever experienced. it’s the roughest thing i’ve ever read. but it felt so worth it by the time i got to the end of it because of what it means. it’s just beauty, the fact that you can do that with just ink on paper, it just blows my mind. i’m so in awe of that writing. there’s just nothing like it. andrew: yeah, i’d agree with that too .
good interview. i didn' t love may, but am very interested in the woman. not even based on the controversy or the adverse reactions, but based on what has been said by the people who have come to its defense .
awesome insights. just a heads - up, the spanish festival is called
sitges
not
stiges
. it takes place in sitges, a town in catalonia, and it is awesome .

its heart is firmly in the explortation area…. there is something quite alright about this horror that many will call just another the hills have eyes rip off !
please forgive me as well, i usually manage to put all the name of the characters in my reviews but its very hard here. with names of rabbit, first stolen and eartheater, it was quite impossible to know who was playing who, the only person i pinpointed was the character of steven played by eriick kastel but i get to the reason for that in a bit !
overall: 70’s horror revisited, this may be a clone to many superior films of this nature, but it delivers when required, and not many horror films make you root for characters who kill little kids……… .

r (for strong bloody violence and gore, disturbing situations, language, nudity and some sexuality. )
for whatever reason, these jack ketchum adaptations never gel for me. this one has moments, but still fails to build suspense. the cast is game .
this is from the ghost house underground series, and this is by far there grosses movie to date. this is extreme slasher, and pretty gross. hate little horror kids and this one is jammed pack with them. worst then the move little children, would keep this one out of the hands of expecting mothers. 4 stars

david and amy halbard are your typical nice american family; they have even recently added an addition to their clan by having a baby. amy’s friend claire comes to visit bringing her son luke with her, as well as some excess baggage. claire has been having some troubles with her husband stephen, it seems stephen not only beats his wife when he has been drinking he is also on the run from the law. a call from stephen letting claire and the halbards know that he is on his way is the least of their worries however. there is a clan of cannibalistic children who are tearing up the coastline and killing all in their way and stealing their infants. guess stephen is the least of their worries now .
when claire arrives she talks to amy and tells her about all of her troubles. claire has a lot of troubles way beyond the fact that stephen was abusive to her, he also got her in trouble with the irs and now he’s ran off. claire hasn’t heard from him in quite a while (she mentions in one scene that luke still has stephens christmas present wrapped up waiting to give it to him) so it is a big surprise when he calls the halbard house and informs him that he is coming to visit. david upon finding out immediately calls the police to report that the criminal is in fact coming to their house. while on the phone the receptionist at the police department informs david that there was a murder, so the police force is running on a skeletal crew and suggests that if david has a gun he stand guard ready to shoot stephen or anyone else that he doesn’t recognize on his property. david shrugs this off not seeing himself as a tough guy and it really is ashamed he does because in the next few hours he really is going to wish he listened to the receptionist .
the films main jump start though is a very brutal home invasion sequence in which the cannibalistic children storm into the halbard’s house. the scene is chaotic and quite bloody; one of the characters is disemboweled while another is tied up forced to watch the brutal act .

it needs to be insisted on that horror films are not for the morbid, they' re for the life - lovers .
so after seeing the video of the guy freaking out at the screening of
the woman
at sundance and his six - minute tirade against it at some sundance dude after getting kicked out, i really want to see
the woman .
but that movie seems to have fallen into the strange, gaseous ether of movies that people hated at sundance, and searching for a nationwide release date for it turns up bupkiss. instead i turn my attention back to
the sequel starts off with a grisly murder of three people by the children of the cannibal clan, which sets the local police and one harried ex - cop whose dealt with their damage before off on a mission to find the family and stop them for good. meanwhile, david and amy halbard (a young couple with an infant daughter) and their houseguests claire and young luke must fight against the bloodthirsty killers, while also dealing with claire' s psycho soon - to - be ex - husband .
. but even that one, though it had great actors in the main roles, fell a little flat in some respects. i just feel like ketchum' s work has not gotten the treatment it deserves by movie standards. is his work too disturbing? gore is all over the place in movies nowadays but the underlying subject matter is perhaps what people can' t handle about him .
i' m a little - but not totally - put off by the look of the cannibals. with their crazy afro hair and dress that makes them look like aboriginal headhunters or something, it' s a bit too on the nose. why don' t they just wear the clothes of the people they kill? how do they even know how to make their fur bikinis and crop tops? also they speak in their own cave - people language which is funny, but if they were the descendants of lighthouse people or whatever, wouldn' t they have known english and passed it on to the rest of the clan? just sayin'.
