Editorial Reviews

From revered Australian filmmaker Mark Savage (Best Director, Melbourne Underground Film Festival 2000), SAVAGE SINEMA FROM DOWN UNDER is a collection of the most erotic, violent and controversial films ever made, including DEFENCELESS (Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Actress; Melbourne Underground Film Festival 2005), SENSITIVE NEW AGE KILLER (the most successful independent release ever in Australia) and MARAUDERS. A bonus fourth disc includes Savage¹s poignant cable TV drama STAINED (based on true events; shot on HD) plus a collection of his early super-8 horror and fantasy shorts. Exclusive commentaries, featurettes and still galleries as well as production diary booklets round out this impressive set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tarantino must've been inspired by Marauders!, December 17, 2007

This review is from: Savage Sinema From Down Under-3 dvd set (DVD)

A great sick-fun trilogy, way ahead of its time! Marauders (1987) is more Quentin Tarantino than QT himself. And all the way from Melbourne, Australia. Now I want to see everything by Mark Savage, it would be great to see him at some festivals in London/Europe. MAGIC!

This review is from: Savage Sinema From Down Under-3 dvd set (DVD)

I have seen my share of worthless "entertainment" in my day,this release gives new meaning to "trash" - but not "trash" as in totally void of morality (but fun anyway),but as in "trash"that's not worth the disc it's mastered to! These "films" demonstrate mind-numbingly amateurish "acting" that I haven't experienced in quite some time.Jeez,we really must not have anything left to release on the dvd format,as this set proves they are scraping the bottom of the barrel!I really am struggling to recognize any talent Subversive Cinema is seeing in this?Trust me,the "shocking violence" is nothing you haven't seen already (and much more convincingly) in many other exploitation films from decades past.I want my money back....

Mark Savage's films are incredibly entertaining and disturbing. The best exploitation and horror generally is. A seminal box set!
