Straw Dogs (Re-adaptation)

A mild-mannered American academic, David Sumner, moves with his wife, Amy, to her remote English (or Southern American in the remake) hometown. They are immediately harassed by a gang of local men. The men's aggressive acts, which include the rape of Amy and the killing of the couple's pet, escalate into a violent siege on their farmhouse. Pushed past his breaking point, the pacifist David is forced to embrace extreme violence to defend his home and his life, ultimately killing all of his attackers. The film explores what happens when social order breaks down and a seemingly civilized man is forced to revert to primal instincts. Image from: https://posterspy.com/posters/straw-dogs-1971/
