Straw Dogs

Screenwriter David Sumner and his wife Amy travel in his Jaguar to her hometown, Blackwater, Mississippi. Amy's father has died and David intends to write his Stalingrad screenplay in the house. He hires contractor Charlie and his team to repair the barn roof. Amy used to be Charlie's sweetheart and he and his crew show her no respect now. Charlie invites David to hunt deer with him and his crew, but they leave David alone in the woods and rape Amy--who doesn't tell David about it. When drunken coach Tom Heddon calls Charlie and his friends to hunt down slow Jeremy Niles, who likes his daughter, David decides to protect not only Jeremy, but also Amy and her honor.
