I've seen this mentioned a few times in a Facebook group so I finally ordered it. The Girl Next Door messed me up but I loved The Woman so I figured I'd give this a shot...

It is OK. The Woman is much better. Offspring isn't horrible but hope you didn't pay too much for it.

$10.

That's a fair price.

I think it's the best of the three in the series. I liked the straight ahead horror approach more than the Fritzl fuck-toy vibe of the second and the soapy third part.

The script for OFFSPRING is wonderfully faithful to the novel, which is maybe no surprise since Ketchum himself adapted it. That's the only positive thing I can say about the film, though. Horrendously ugly digital look, amateurish direction and laughable costume design for the cannibals. I hope they remake this eventually using the same script but a competent director and production team.
