I only became aware of director Andrew van den Houten’s 2009 thriller “Offspring” after first becoming fascinated with Lucky McKee’s 2011 film “The Woman” (review here).

While I don’t recall it being common knowledge at the time, McKee crafted “The Woman” as a follow-up focusing on Pollyanna McIntosh’s feral character, who made her filmic debut in “Offspring.”

I didn’t have a burning incentive to backtrack until it was announced that McIntosh’s 2019 directorial debut “Darlin’” (review here) would feature her titular cannibal a third time.
