![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, it’s hard to believe this movie came out in 2009 because it really looks and feels like a grindhouse flick released in the early to mid-1980s. By the time the credits roll buckets of blood have been spilled. The tribe includes several small children and it is rare in horror film to seek little kids engaging in this level of violence and mayhem. On the surface, Offspring seems like nothing you have not seen before in flicks like the Hills Have Eyes or Wrong Turn. The film becomes a battle for survival between two very different types of “families.” ![]() In Offspring, the tribe targets the home of David and Amy Halbard and their children. The Woman is the leader of a tribe of cannibalistic nomads, descendants of a group who’ve apparently been rampaging up and down the coast of Maine for generations slaughtering locals, stealing infants, and kidnapping and raping both women and men to produce children to replenish their ranks. The only connective tissue between them all is “the Woman” played by Pollyanna McIntosh who is probably best known as Jadis/Anne from the Walking Dead. Though the second and third films are technically sequels it seems that they were marketed more as standalone alone movies. Calling it a trilogy or a franchise almost seems like a misnomer because all three films are so unique and different from each other. I am struggling with how to even describe this group of films. ![]()
