Savage

Confusion, blood, poor acting, awful dialogue, and a truly terrible soundtrack - these are all factors that should make for a so-bad-it's-good horror film. This is not the case for 'Savage'. Instead it is just bad. Bad, boring and meaningless, and I still have almost no idea what any of the characters said.

Fortunately this isn't a problem because the story is so simple you don't need to hear the cast spouting truly terrible inanities at each other. A man, his pregnant wife and a friend who serves no purpose whatsoever are attacked by cannibals. Everything goes wrong, a (very, very slow) chase through the forest ensues. The end.

I suspect the editor realised the dialogue was useless after filming finished and simply ramped up the volume on the non-stop soundtrack so you couldn't listen even if you wanted to. Instead you are subjected to nearly ninety minutes of a blaring siren that has nothing to do with the movie.

There are no best bits, nothing to commend or to enjoy. This is an utter disaster of a project - which is a shame because I completely understand how difficult it is to make an indie flick. If I were the director, I would leave this one off my resumé.

Don't waste your time.
