Product Description
Brace yourself for the extended version of this daring and provocative drama from the director of The Wild Bunch. Starring Dustin Hoffman in a 'superbly realized (Time) performance, this brilliant (Cue), disturbing film charts one man's brutally violent journey from cowardice to courage and delivers one helluva jolt (Playboy)!
Instead, the violence is psychological, and the suspense and shocks are induced by the editing--you're more terrified by what you think you see than by what you are actually shown. One of Sam Peckinpah's most controversial efforts, Straw Dogs came out at a critical moment in the early 1970s, released in the same month as both Dirty Harry and A Clockwork Orange, causing a furor over film violence. --Marshall Fine Based on a little-known British novel, the film casts Dustin Hoffman as a bookish American mathematician on sabbatical in rural England, in the town where his young bride (Susan George) grew up. Though Straw Dogs has a reputation for graphic violence, it actually looks tame by contemporary standards. He finds himself forced to defend his home against an assault by local toughs, and discovers a frighteningly feral and vicious side to himself.
