Straw Dogs (Blu-ray) Blu-ray, 2011

A remake of Sam Peckinpah's classic 1971 psychological thriller, Rod Lurie's Straw Dogs transposes the events of the first film from Cornwall to the American Deep South.

James Marsden stars as David Sumner, a Hollywood screenwriter who moves with his wife, Amy (Kate Bosworth), from LA to a house in his wife's rural hometown to write his new script in peace and quiet. But soon their perfect getaway turns out to become a living hell when dark secrets and lethal passions spiral out of control. Trapped by a pack of depraved locals led by a ruthless predator (Alexander Skarsgard), they face a night of agonizing suffering in which their only hope for survival is to become more savage than their merciless torturers.
