Day of the Woman
A young, beautiful career woman rents a backwoods cabin to write her first novel. Attacked by a group of local lowlifes and left for dead, she devises a horrific plan to inflict revenge.
Why it matters
A grim and unflinching late-’70s rape-revenge thriller that trades polish for raw, unsettling atmosphere and a haunting silence.
- Camille Keaton delivers a quietly powerful performance that anchors the film’s brutal emotional core.
- The absence of a traditional score creates an oppressive, eerie stillness that amplifies every moment of dread.
- Fans of grindhouse and exploitation cinema will recognize its place alongside films like *I Spit on Your Grave*—harsh, divisive, and unrelenting.
- Not for the faint of heart or those seeking catharsis; it’s a tough watch that confronts trauma without sugarcoating or clear resolution.
