A Região Selvagem

A elderly couple house a strange creature from space in their barn. This creature provides great sexual pleasure and indeed brings hidden desires for instant gratification to the surface. However, the creature is also capable of destroying. In the forefront of the story though is a decaying marriage where the wife seeks a better life and a decent sex life, as her husband is bored, abusive and having a failing relationship with his brother in law.

Very odd mixture of horror / sci-fi and domestic drama in that whilst the performances and the tone are well enough handled, the sci-fi and the domestic drama don't always compliment each other successfully, such that the switch from one to the other is frequently uncomfortable and unfulfilling story wise. Very much more domestic drama than Sci-fi, by the end you can't help wondering if a bit more exploitative horror might not have helped.
