Ohh well hello there DEH freaks! Sasha Slaughter here with you...did you miss us? If you didn't notice, Zane and I took the day off on Monday. Let's just say that our Super Bowl celebration got a little out of hand. =)
Anyway, this week there isn't really a theme, so we'll just be throwing some random stuff at you, is that ok? Awesome! Today I'll be telling you about a film called Savage County (Brought to you by MTV). Savage County came out in 2010. It was written by David Harris and Daniel Alvarado and directed by David Harris. It is said to be similar to The Hills have Eyes and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, so I guess we'll see. Let me tell you a little about it.
High School friends Izzy, Noah, Mike, Megan, Patrick, Angie, and Colby decide to find a new place to party, and Mike leads them dangerously close to the Hardell place. After complaining of being bored, Mike tells them about the dilapidated estate on the outskirts of town. No one believes that the Hardell's are really crazy, but Mike convinces the others to go the house. Patrick, the youngest and the most cowardly, accepts the dare to knock on the door of the Hardell's and run.
But they get more than they expected when the eldest member of the Hardell clan bursts through the door with his double barrel- blazing. Panicked, Patrick's friend Noah races to his rescue and bludgeons the man with a shovel, killing him instantly. Soon after, they hear a car approaching and flee the scene. Upon discovering the family patriarch dead, face down in the grass and covered in blood, the rest of the Hardell clan vows to seek vengeance on every one of the kids involved, and ensure that each of them dies a slow and painful death.
Crazy hillbilly's! I don't wanna be their friend. This was actually a pretty decent hillbilly slasher flick. I did see some similarities between this movie and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You know, a bunch of crazies living in an isolated shack, a shady police force, a leather face villain and a few strange sidekicks. This movie had it all. And of course had a few kids that inadvertently got on the hillbilly's bad side.
OOPS! It was a total B slasher brought to you by MTV, but it was pretty good. There were a few awesome death scenes involving knives, guns, and the blade of a lawn mower.
The hillbilly dudes videotaped all of the murders they committed and watched them later, and used them to torture the others, which was pretty cool. The acting was good, but the homicidal hillbillies is what did it for me. They were all so weird and creepy...Ughh!! Overall I'd give Savage County a 3 out of 5. There was plenty of blood, lots of death, and a vat of acid...whats not to like?
I'd recommend this if you are into B movies and hillbilly slashers for sure. I would definitely watch this again. While you're here, don't forget to pay Zane a visit and see what he's got going on. Thanks for stopping by!!!!
