An attorney finds a feral woman living alone in the woods and he captures her and sticks her in his cellar. He reveals her presence to his family and enlists them all in his project to "civilize" her. Not that this household is civilized. The father rules the family through violence and intimidation, and he is passing this lesson on to his son. The efforts to train the feral woman become increasingly violent and turn to sexual assault. Everything ends in a spectacularly gory comeuppance and the establishing of a new family unit. This film is far from subtle, but it's a pretty nifty allegory on power, violence and the male dominance of the family.
