Some Scary Horror Stuff for You!

Almost a decade after Lucky McKee burst upon the indie horror scene and became a ‘Master of Horror’ in the making thanks to his directorial debut May, he teamed up with legendary cult author Jack Ketchum for his most shocking and brutal film to date: The Woman, which was itself a sequel to a previous Ketchum film adaptation titled Offspring.

Both films get the 4K UHD treatment in a brand new double feature release from Arrow Video on August 26, allowing you to experience McKee and Ketchum’s uncompromisingly twisted vision of the dark side of the American family in a definitive edition that includes a 4K remaster of The Woman plus a bonus disc featuring a restoration of its 2009 predecessor.

Bloody Disgusting has been exclusively provided with the official trailer for the upcoming 4K restoration of director Andrew van den Houten’s Offspring. Check it out below.

Then in The Woman, Pollyanna McIntosh is the last surviving member of a deadly clan of feral cannibals that has roamed the American wilderness for decades. When successful country lawyer Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers) stumbles upon her whilst hunting in the woods, he decides to capture and “civilise” her with the help of his seemingly perfect all-American family, including his wife Belle (Angela Bettis) and daughter Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter). The Cleeks will soon learn, however, that hell hath no fury like The Woman scorned…
