Straw Dogs (1971)
1/10
Don't believe the rating

Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe that such an awful movie got a rating of 7.7! It seems more like ballot box filling by the Brits.

The story line itself is deceptive. Until Sumner makes a stand there was no harassment from the locals. I wonder how Sumner got the grant to do research on maths when he is so stupid. To achieve something similar one would expect the recipient to be more mature and responsible.

Marries a woman who has mental age of 14/15 who has got a permanent sad and painful expression on her face as if she is suffering from a bad case of piles.

The other characters are quite authentic and believable from my own first hand experience.

Over all an awful movie that I wasted 2 hours on.

In future I must take IMDb ratings with a ton of salt.
