DVD Reviews of Savage Harvest
DVD Review: Eric's best. though his last
Summary: 2 Stars
This film may not be technically better than other Stanze films, however it does have the strength of innocence and effort. You can tell that they tried hard for this film, even Stanze.
The plot is a decent, though underwritten one. It has the strength of originality, in the concept, not necessarily the story. The gore is decently done for a no-budget film. Makeup was terrible. Actors gave it their all, even if it wasn't enough.
Since this is a directors debut, errors are forgivable.
DVD Review: Terrible
Summary: 1 Stars
"Savage Harvest" was the debut film from director Eric Stanze, who has since gone on to direct more ambitious efforts like "Ice From the Sun" and "Scrapbook." Aside from a few decent gore effects, "Savage Harvest" has little to recommend. The storyline is derivative and badly scripted with lots of exposition delivered in the first thirty minutes by blank faced actors whose boring deliveries will leave you on the verge of falling sleep. Once the gore starts flying, the storyline picks up a little but is still an incoherent and largely uninteresting mess. Despite Stanze's efforts to inject some life into the material with a few stylish directorial touches, "Savage Harvest" is a mostly forgettable feature debut from a director who would make significant leaps in quality with his future projects. DVD Review: A slow, but decent start to a long career
Summary: 2 Stars
This is about, well, I am not sure exactly. I think a group of kids decide to camp near a lake where a Native American tribe elder was doing voodoo, got lynched, and buried in a water hole. They somehow conjure up some demons, a portal to another dimension, and a crazy looking witch doctor.
The film gets off to a really slow start. The acting is bad and the dialogue lame. I found it hard to even look at the actors. The kills do not begin until the 30 minute mark and then it is too late to save the film. The whole idea surrounding the magic rocks and tribes and conjuring demons was complicated and with boring characters explaining the back story, you will not care to listen at all.
The positive is that the special effects are pretty good considering the low budget. There is one demon with slime squirting out of a nail at the end of it's tongue!?! There have been comparisons (mostly likely by the production team themselves) that this is the next Evil Dead. I beg to differ. This film was boring whereas Evil Dead was hilarious with an immensely likable "hero".
This is the first outing for Stanze in the director's chair or any other chair for that matter. Considering this was done on a low budget with limited experience, I think it shows he can accomplish better things down the road. I have seen Scrapbook (2000), which had better acting and moved at a fast pace, so that is proof enough to me.
Bottom Line: Moves along slowly with easily forgettable characters. Watch only if a Stanze fan or in need of new mild gorefest.
Rating: 4.5/10

DVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to applaude the efforts of the creator's of this movie. First, the special effects had the quality of a large budget production made even today.
The story line was very interesting and unique and the kills are as gruesome as they could be.
I know this movie was made with heart so anyone interested in starting a career in independant cinema should check this out. It holds an influencial spark for young movie maker's like myself. It's also fun to watch with a group of people as most classic style horror films are.
DVD Review: fun
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
