The Bastard Love Child Of…Dead Girl and I Spit On Your Grave
A visceral and sure to be controversial exploration of the true meaning of family values, which arrives Grimm Up North already trailing clouds of moral outrage.
The ‘woman’ of the title (Pollyanna McIntosh) is the last surviving member of a feral tribe of backwoods cannibals. Captured by a middle class family, who plan to civilise her, she bears mute witness to the bestial desires that lie beneath their polite veneer. And before long it starts to become clear exactly who the real animals are…
Grimms Eye View: Based on a novel by multiple-award-winning horror grand master Jack Ketchum in collaboration with director McKee, this savagely satiric, unflinchingly confrontational evisceration of sexual and familial politics has been generating controversy since its premiere at the Sundance film festival, where one outraged festival-goer called for it to be “confiscated, burned”, claiming “There’s no value is showing this to anyone!” Now’s your chance to see what all the fuss is about. Prepare to be outraged.
