Straw Dogs
UK 1971, 118 minutes
Dir. Sam Peckinpah
English
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Cult, Suspense/Crime / Controversy, Hostages & Terrorism
Feat. Dustin Hoffman, Susan George
Aroview: With dir. Sam Peckinpah in top form, this powerful study of male territorial instincts pushed out the boundaries of movie violence in the 1970s.
Dustin Hoffman plays a mathematician who is forced into action when his secluded farmhouse comes under siege, and his wife (Susan George) is raped and terrorised. Atmosphere suggests THE WICKER MAN for its erotically-charged yet malign English village setting.

5 stars (Exceptional) Blokes, eh? Few films view inter-male aggression, and inner-male anxiety, with such queasy clarity as this potent provocation. It's reactionary, of course, but that's sort of the point. A tense, haunting masterwork of exploitation-poetry. ~fairbrother
