Doob, having found out that Karen is following him, threatens to do something to her youngest daughter. She then seeks help from a group of vigilantes connected to a support group, in order to shoot Doob.

Watch "I Spit on your grave" , The story is a bit like this one, But you get more than expected , its all very clearly (This movie too) , But... It's crude and horrorfying . But still a better movie ;D. P.S. : Sorry for my English , Im Dutch, And only 12 Years so... - @Friday, October 25, 2013 8:49 AM

Yes, do the math. You can, can't you? And why did he? Because she lured him so she could kill him. This was never about her defending herself. Because this movie is seeing the wolf through the villagers point of view, a monster, as opposed to a person who is mentally ill. - @Monday, July 29, 2013 9:06 PM

thegreenbastard42011

do the math? how bout the fact that we conversed for an hour and a bit, with your comments magically rising in likes. almost like you keep coming back. the story isnt about hunting down anyone, the fact he comes after her at the end should signify that. the werewolf is the evil located in us all, thats why the person who becomes the werewolf generally doesn't know they are a wolf. kiefer represents something totally different. werewolf movies are about coming together. this movie was not. - @Monday, July 29, 2013 7:56 PM

i only fear phobophobia

In 5 years about 170,000 people have watched this video. Do the math. When I say werewolf stories, I don't mean stories about werewolves, it's a metaphor for stories were the moral is people should hunter down and kill the monsters they see. Yeah, a spiteful assault. - @Monday, July 29, 2013 11:31 AM

thegreenbastard42011

lol ya because in the last hour one person came read your comment and thumbed it up. whatever. werewolf movies arent a sub genre of revenge movies . they belong to a monster horrors, even more specific classical horror, along with the mummy and the swap thing. revenge: the action of inflicting hurt or harm on someone for a wrong suffered at their hands. keep thumbing your own comments up, it makes no difference to the fact that im right. - @Monday, July 29, 2013 10:58 AM

i only fear phobophobia

I don't think people care that much about commenting on this video, that doesn't mean they don't read the comments. If you don't want to believe this is my only account, then don't, I don't give a shit. Revenge is not standing up for yourself (defending), it's just spiteful assault. Yes, and a subgenre of that subgenre are what I call werewolf movies. The difference being the moral of the story advocating such an action. - @Monday, July 29, 2013 10:30 AM

thegreenbastard42011

lol considering the last comment beside ours was 2 weeks ago.....i dont think people care that much about our conversation, so yes stop thumbing comments up with other accounts. yes she was standing up for herself and her family. not only did he make her daughter a victim, he made the whole family a victim. she lured him on to her property hardly a lynch mob. you ve never seen taken. there is a sub genre of movies dedicated to avenging the death of a child. Christ. good day. learn movies. - @Monday, July 29, 2013 8:58 AM

i only fear phobophobia

Predatory rape and murder, yes. She wasn't standing up for herself, she was intent on revenge for her daughter, and to stop this wolf doing it again. I've never seen Taken, but I doubt it's as simplistic and unsubtle as this movie is. Yeah... I only have one YouTube account. - @Sunday, July 28, 2013 11:21 AM

thegreenbastard42011

rape then murder rarely happens? the moral of the story is to stand up for yourself. its not just about protecting the future generations, the main character needed to get her life back. the werewolf is far far too simplistic. the werewolf doesnt represent evil, it represents fear. another huge difference. if you notice, the towns folk dont seem to intent on getting the wolf as you put it either. by your logic any taken is a were wolf movie too. thumbing up your own comments?? pathetic. - @Sunday, July 28, 2013 4:53 AM

i only fear phobophobia

Yes, a very specific real life issue that almost never happens. The morale of this story is people should hunter down and kill the evil that exists in this world (the wolf), to protect the women and children. Now if that isn't the old werewolf story, then I don't know what is. - @Saturday, July 27, 2013 8:39 PM

thegreenbastard42011

not at all. first of all it addresses real life issues that are still, believe it or not, on going to this day. Sutherland's character represents for the second time now, the evil that exists in this world, that is seemingly untouchable. the only reason the evil was stopped, was because sally field, the good guy, the audience if you will, stood up and did something. a werewolf story? not even close. - @Saturday, July 27, 2013 6:36 PM

i only fear phobophobia

Two stars because it's essentially nothing more than a modern day werewolf story. - @Saturday, July 27, 2013 2:08 PM

thegreenbastard42011

excuse me, but if the cast and director are a list, the movie is a list. the movie was very realistic. it had elements of real life. the meetings the feeling of being hopeless, because the justice system is corrupt, who knew? the button pusher, im assuming you mean Sutherland, is the figure head for what we hate and what is destroying our society even to this day. he is the bad that never seems to get his, until the prey fights back. two stars simply because of a personal vendetta? pfff - @Saturday, July 27, 2013 7:19 AM

If I were Sally Fields's character, Kiefer Sutherland's character would never have even made it to the court room the FIRST time, only to get let off the hook by the 'justice' system, let alone get let off the hook in court a SECOND time. I honestly would have nothing to lose and wouldn't care if I went to prison. He wouldn't have gotten a trial. There probably would have been a trial for me, but not for him. Fuck that. - @Sunday, March 17, 2013 9:26 PM

i only fear phobophobia

A B movie that somehow won the lottery and got an A-movie cast and director. The premise was interesting and the characters felt very realistic, but the movie didn't, it didn't fairly question it's premise as much as dictate it. This blatant button-pusher plays upon our most primal emotions as well as the increasing disdain for the criminal justice system, it's just a terribly crude and bias movie that operates as propaganda for capital punishment and vigilantism. 2 stars. - @Sunday, March 17, 2013 7:02 PM

I love this movie, I have it on DVD. Many people dismiss it as a "man-hating" sappy Lifetime drama. I bed to differ; albeit a bit predictable at times, it is a constant edge-of-your-seat crime thriller. I myself am a criminal justice graduate heading on to pre-law education. This movie both confirmed and motivated my passion for criminal law and bringing offenders to justice in a professional, rigorous, and expedient manner. Excellent film, you won't be disappointed. - @Friday, March 1, 2013 4:39 AM

At the beginning of the movie when Sally runs into the younger daughter's bedroom, you can see the camera guy's reflection in the mirror. Whoopsie. - @Saturday, February 9, 2013 12:28 AM

At the end of the movie, when he broke in the house, I would have shot him right in his dick, and NOT killed him. Then I would have let the cops arrest him. Who knows? The system might let him off (yet AGAIN), but at least he won't be using that thing to rape any girls anymore. - @Sunday, January 20, 2013 9:59 PM

P.T. B.

I like this movie for several reasons: two being the cast and the story-I like revenge or vigilante storylines, seeing Sally Field play a role like this was incredible, Kiefer S. was very convincing as a sadistic villian...again. When justice fails, then what do you do? I'm not advocating or condoning what Sally did for real life, but in a movie, it's easier to condone it. I'm hoping the system wouldn't fail this badly in real life. - @Monday, December 26, 2011 9:41 PM
