“I will not allow violence against this house.”
A controversial Cult siege thriller that cuts so close to the bone that we are still talking about it today, MANTRAP: Straw Dogs - The Final Cut is an absolutely unmissable documentary that unflinchingly examines a challenging film that pushed the limits of mainstream cinema, Sam Peckinpah’s Straw Dogs.
