IN THE FACE OF EVERY COWARD BURNS A STRAW DOG.

David Sumner, a mild-mannered academic from the United States, marries Amy, an Englishwoman.

There, David is ostracized by the brutish men of the village, including Amy's old flame, Charlie. Eventually the taunts escalate.

  • Amaia Benitez
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Silas Butler
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
