Tonight I wasted a half-hour of my life watching Savage Island. Straight-to-video low-budget horror. I blame Blockbuster online.
Pictures. Yes, he’s asking someone to pet a dead squirrel.
Premise: a newlywed couple with a baby visit the wife’s parents, who live on a small island just east of nowhere.
The wife’s pot-smoking brother also lives on the island with the parents. The father-in-law wants to develop the island into a luxury resort. One small problem: the island is inhabited by a family (or two?) of hick squatters. These are “the savages.”
The “savages” dress like pioneers. Well, at least the parents do. The hick children dress like huns from a video game and the young adults wear modern clothes. All the savage-hicks have pretty well groomed hair, and the savage men wear fashionable stubble. Go figure.
Well the pot-smoking brother-in-law has a nasty speeding habit, and of course he accidentally hits on the of the hick-savage children.
The savage-elders come to the ranch and tell the father-in-law that they “want the baby”, the father-in-law says “hells to the nah get off my property!” and mass chaos ensues.
That’s the movie.
The scene transitions are SO bad. They are like made in windows-movie-maker bad. The scene changes involve the screen moving up or to the side, creating a “meanwhile back at the ranch” effect.
Some shots are grainy, others in black and white… and the acting… um yeah. I’m going back to Red Dragon.
