Straw Dogs

Sam Peckinpah's 1971 opus is still a casualty of the BBFC's video-banning shenanigans, and here's your chance to see why. Settling in a Cornish village, all-round Logical Man Dustin Hoffman and his incompatible wife Susan George are at first distrusted then attacked and raped by the villagers. Less sickeningly violent than it is misogynistic.
