This Film is about a mild mannered phyisicist (american) who moves with his british wife to cornwall where she grew up. The film starts with small hints of things to come eg a gaping bear trap. Since the House the couple are living in is run down they recruite some of the girls childhood friends to do the building. soon the lads start abusing the couple hanging there cat and raping the woman. after the village idiot accidently kills the locals dons daughter (gettin reminders of "of mice and men here) he ( the idiot) seeks refuge in the couples house and the mild mannered man goes psycho, defending house from the locals out for revenge. it should be noted that this film was banned for its graphic violence. The story raises a valid point about defending your house from intruders as the current law(gb) is unclear. Anyone who has any questions about the film feel free to ask them as a comment and i shal reply as best as a can.
