Product Details

Synopsis: Years ago, a Cherokee elder summoned into our world an evil that eventually destroyed his entire tribe. Now, on the land that was once inhabited by the tribe, demonic forces await the return of this long-dead leader...and when these demons sense his descent, they gain the ability to possess human beings. Now a small group of innocent people trapped on the land must unlock the tribe's riddles as demonic possession consumes one victim after another, with showers of blood drenching the earth and shrieks of pain echoing through the forest. The possessed are animalistic, frenzied killing machines feeding on the warm meat of fresh kills, and the lucky few survivors are quickly running out of time! One of the most ferocious independent horror films of recent years, this intense, blood-red shocker from acclaimed director Eric Stanze ("Scrapbook," "Ice from the Sun") will make you think twice before your next camping trip!

This review is from: Savage Harvest (DVD)

For any old school horror fans out there you do not want to miss this movie. I liked the story of this movie. It was different. Not just some evil spirits, but something with a little more history to it. The fx in this were just sooo much fun. I enjoyed this movie very much. To me the more bllod the better. I woul say anyone who wants to sit down and watch a good old horror flick this movie is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome Splatter-Fun!, September 6, 2005

Chinon Kane (Overland Park, KS) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Savage Harvest (DVD)

This is a great movie if you love gore FX. It is a little slow with the backstory early on, but when the night scenes come the sh;t hits the fan! Everybody's getting possesed, tearing each other apart, and trying to survive till morning comes.
All the actors were fun to watch, with all the stuff that was done to them in the story. The extras on the DVD are cool. The behind the scenes video especially. These guys are real grass-roots horror fans. Awesome bloody FX!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, low-budget demonic gem!!!, October 28, 2004

By

mizziah "mizziah" (A viewer from nowhere) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Savage Harvest (DVD)

It always bugs me when someone knocks an obviously low-budget film for its shortcomings. Sure, the production values and the acting don't have that Hollywood polish, but that's what I find amazing about films like this. It's great to see someone apply craftsmanship to a project with mininal resources and overcome those obstacles with creativity. I think that's why Eric Stanze is held in such high regard among most fans of independent films. He makes great movies with very little money, and although this flick isn't as solid as ICE FROM THE SUN or SCRAPBOOK, SAVAGE HARVEST has a lot to offer to the indie horror fan.

The story is nothing new (it can be seen as an EVIL DEAD knock-off), but Stanze creates a nice backstory to the slaughter, which he captures with some very inventive camerawork. The makeup effects are surpisingly well-done (great work by Tony Bridges), and the performances are solid (when you consider that he's working with non-professional actors). Even the music score offers something different from the norm (i.e. - a blaring heavy metal soundtrack) in modern horror films, which I found very effective.

Looking back over the several flicks that Stanze has done (from ICE FROM THE SUN to CHINA WHITE SERPENTINE), it's nice to see how he's progressed as a filmmaker. Fans of Stanze should check this baby out to see where it all started, as well as those looking for something a little bit different. If you're down with the indie scene (and I'm not talking about the Miramax, mutli-million dollar type of indie film), you may find a lot to like about this early Stanze effort.
