MOVIE REVUE: Straw Dogs Revisits the Darker Side of Human Nature

A Straw Dog – highly regarded, but when no longer need, discarded.

In 1971, Sam Peckinpah’s psychological thriller Straw Dogs  created a ripple in a generation of filmgoers  with  its  unprecedented depiction  of  human brutality. Censors struggled with an appropriate rating in England where it was filmed and initially released, branding it with an 18 + due to its graphic rendering of a sexual assault. The film was then trimmed for its release in the United States to satisfy the MPAAs requirements for an R rating and subsequently put through twenty years of re-edits that resulted in three different cuts, most recently (and ironically) in its original, unrated form.
