No honey, it’s just the neighbors dropping by to borrow a cup of boiling oil.

Dustin Hoffman discovers that Jolly Old England is no refuge from the violence and social unrest of 1971 in the original Straw Dogs. Writer/director Sam Peckinpah pioneered the home invasion horror movie with this story of an American mathematician channeling his inner savage to beat back an angry mob storming his wife’s modest farm. Does the 50-year-old classic still have the power to shock modern audiences weaned on a steady diet of sequels? Join Jakob, Stuart, and Arnie as they pry open the teeth of this vicious steel trap.
