SECS FEST PRESENTS THE FIREWORKS WOMAN

Ever since they were children Angela and her brother Peter have been as close as siblings could be. But when their relationship crosses the line from fraternal love to unnatural lust, Peter withdraws to become a priest, attempting to sever all contact with his sister. Hopelessly devoted to her brother and devastated by this abandonment, Angela soon experiences the physical manifestations of his guilt, as Peter sends her to work as a maid for a sadistic couple. Soon, Angela is thrust from one horrifying experience to the next; her body affecting an almost otherworldly draw from men whose only goal is to abuse and humiliate her. All the while they repeatedly cross paths with the mysterious “fireworks man,” an almost devilish presence who may be manipulating the lives of both Peter and Angela.

The second feature directed by legendary horror filmmaker Wes Craven, THE FIREWORKS WOMAN ranks as his most structurally experimental effort as well as his most controversial. Craven's sole foray into hardcore is both brimming with dark religious commentary as well as venerating essential works of underground erotic literature. THE FIREWORKS WOMAN is fully uncut for the first time and newly restored in 4K from its best surviving film elements!
