YMMV / The Woman

• Complete Monster: Chris Cleek, his family's patriarch, is an extreme misogynist and Domestic Abuser. Upon encountering the titular woman in the woods, Cleek kidnaps and imprisons her within a fruit cellar, under the guise of civilizing her. In reality, he intends on dominating her, whether it be through several types of torture, such as using a high-pressure power washer to bathe her, or by raping her. It's revealed later on in the novel that Cleek had raped his daughter, Peggy, each night, which culminates in her being pregnant with his child. When Miss Raton, Peggy's teacher, confronts him on this, he knocks her out, and feeds her to his dogs; it's also revealed that Cleek had a daughter, who was born eyeless, imprisoned in the barn, thus causing her to revert to an animalistic state.
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: The antics that went on at the Sundance Q&A screening gave the film a lot of free press, to the point where some have claimed that the man was a plant.
• Surprisingly Improved Sequel: It received much better reviews than Offspring.
