Almost a decade after Lucky McKee burst upon the indie horror scene and became a "Master of Horror" in the making thanks to his directorial debut May, he teamed up with legendary cult author Jack Ketchum for his most shocking and brutal film to date: The Woman, an instant cause célèbre on its Sundance premiere.
Slated to arrive on Blu-ray and Digital this month from Arrow Video, a new trailer has been released that showcases the film's brand-new 4K restoration. Watch it below!
In addition to the standalone Blu-ray, Arrow will also release a two-disc limited edition set that includes a collector's booklet featuring new writing by Michael Blyth, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Kevin Kovelant, and The Woman's gut-churning 2009 predecessor Offspring, also restored in 4K!
Witter Entertainment has also partnered with Arrow to release The Woman on limited edition VHS on May 26th.

BD-ROM screenplay
"The Woman (Pollyanna McIntosh, The Walking Dead) is the last surviving member of a deadly clan of feral cannibals that has roamed the American wilderness for decades. When successful country lawyer Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers, Room) stumbles upon her whilst hunting in the woods, he decides to capture and “civilize” her with the help of his seemingly perfect all-American family, including his wife Belle (Angela Bettis, May) and daughter Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter, Darling). The Cleeks will soon learn, however, that hell hath no fury like The Woman scorned…"
The Woman arrives on Digital 4K tomorrow, with the standalone Blu-ray and two-disc limited edition set releasing on May 29th, 2020.
