Only through referrals and word of mouth, Trevor is an extreme misogynist who campaigns underground seminars of his ideology of women. He gives bizarre, offensive, and outlandish strategies to convince young men to apply his rhetoric with the result that they can control any woman without being hurt by them. His best student is Harrison, a young man Trevor took under his wing and nurtured when he was most vulnerable. Viewing Trevor as a father-figure, Harrison does what Trevor instructs him to do. Harrison soon starts to realize that he is just a pawn in a game that Trevor has concocted only to get even with the woman who made him who he is.

“Misogynist is hard-hitting, emotional and downright thrilling … Spectacular from start to finish. Misogynist is the perfect example of why it is so important to support all the hard-working independent filmmakers that are out there.”

“Misogynist, described by its director as “the antidote to all the Fifty Shades of Grey mania” – which is very much true, is about dominance and submission gone wrong, about blunt sexism (if sugarcoated by a well-spoken character), and about broken characters who don’t look for romance in their relationships, just about taking home a short term win … All that said, this is not a brain-heavy movie, but rather a well-structured little thriller with some great setpieces and a finale that definitely comes unexpected, but at the same time gives good closure…”
