Raised by wolves, the vulnerable last survivor of a cannibalistic tribe bathes wounded in a river somewhere in the lush woods of Northeast Coast, where she used to roam free. In the eyes of misogynistic lawyer Chris, the naked beast-like savage seems to be the perfect trophy for his home; however, is there a place for a feral, flesh-eating primitive among civilized people? In the following days, bent on domesticating the untamed female by breaking her will, the sadistic man will make the woman his project, as Chris' dysfunctional family struggles to keep the proud predator in captivity. But very soon, no restraints, no training--and, certainly, no male supremacy--will be able to match the raging woman's raw, merciless retaliation. Can they escape from the monster's fury?

| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesEmotionally, it takes us where few horror films do. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordDirector Lucky McKee and veteran horror scribe Jack Ketchum take elements of lesser horror movies...and twists them into a unique and fascinating original. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressThis is dark, challenging stuff with a dead-eye for satire and a fantastically out-of-control final act that will equally please the horror fan inside as well as the part that understands what is going on beneath the violence. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonIts muddled finale feels like a manifestation of Weezer's 'Undone (The Sweater Song),' but this Woman is undeniably unforgettable, and in a world of carefully measured entertainment that's certainly saying something. |

| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanExcitingly unique, deeply disturbing, and beautifully macabre. Why can't more films be as proudly one-of-a-kind as this one? |
| PopMattersBill Gibron(S)omething of a masterpiece - a weird work of art, but a surreality to celebrate none the less. |
| Real.comLisa Giles-KeddieMcKee not only succeeds in taking us to the most depraved depths of the human soul but also makes no apologies ... |
| Sky MoviesRob DanielDelivers a knockout punch of violence that should have some cheering and others chewing their dinner back down. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Tim RobeyAn overhyped and crudely constructed little item - you wouldn't need to be repulsed to find ample reasons to leave. |
