Overview
David Sumner, a mild-mannered academic from the United States, marries Amy, an Englishwoman. In order to escape a hectic stateside lifestyle, David and his wife relocate to the small town in rural Cornwall where Amy was raised. There, David is ostracized by the brutish men of the village, including Amy’s old flame, Charlie. Eventually the taunts escalate, and two of the locals rape Amy. This sexual assault awakes a shockingly violent side of David.

Viewing Notes
Been sitting on this one a while. Glad to finally catch up with it… damn, intense flick. Brutal and raw. Not a fan of Susan George but she’s fine here. Dustin Hoffman is terrific. Weird that David Warner is uncredited considering the large role he has. A must-see film.
