don't get too excited - the film is nearly impenetrable. The storyline is almost non-existant and there is no dialogue. It is a pretentious story told in a grainy, unfocused manner with long takes that make little or no sense.

It's sort of a tone poem that affects your psyche - it forces you to create the story. The terror all comes from how twisted and creative your own imagination can be. I loved it and feared it, but I can't think of more than 2 or 3 people here who would actually enjoy watching it.

That said- it fucked me up good.

just watched straw dogs. a friend bought it for me, probably only because it has a sticker on the box declaring "banned for 18 years". two questions; why was it banned? and; why was it called straw dogs?:confused:

It's about this nonviolent wimpy teacher guy who runs into some thugs who hurt him and his wife and he learns that kicking ass for the Lord is part of living too.
