Even ideas that were used and used can still make a small impact if executed correctly. Exactly the case with "Savaged" where you'll see some bad effects sometimes, or better say cheap ones, a plot that was used before a few number of times, but you will also see heart, a director that wanted to make a good movie, actors that were happy to play their role, all of these resulting into a good B horror.

It has some elements from "Contracted", some from "Freakdog" or maybe "The crow", anyway it was a fun ride, especially that they decided to limit the torture screen of the girl and show more of her vengeance. Maybe it lasted a tad bit more than it should have, but probably wanted to offer some deepness to it all.

So all in all, "Savaged" is an OK movie for many horror fans out there, not limited to one exact category, which is a good thing. So whoever you are and whatever your tastes are, you should give this one a try. Especially for those looking for a nice indie movie!

Story wise you're not going to get anything too exceptional, though the "touch" (or twist if you want to call it that), might be appealing to some. Other than that, you do have a lot of criticism, if you want to look at it that way, about America in general. Which is a bold move, considering that is the market this is supposed to make money in that country.

On the other hand, it's obvious that it tries to leave old thinking behind and is about tolerating. The whole "native" revenge thing is convoluted though, not that you'd expect a movie like this to make much sense anyway. The effects are pretty decent for a movie with a budget limitation as this one had.

I usually try not to compare one movie to another in a review. After having seen so many movies it becomes too easy and every review would be a comparison to one or more other movies. With that said, I have to compare this movie to "I Spit On Your Grave" due to the overwhelming similarity. If you've seen "I Spit On Your Grave" then you've seen a much better version of "Avenged." "Avenged" stars Amanda Adrienne playing Zoe, a deaf young lady crossing the country to live with her fiancée. On the road to her final destination she was brutally attacked by a group of raging racists. They thought she was dead until they were facing her wrath.

Who doesn't love a good tale of revenge? There's little better than seeing an oppressed person having the last laugh. We got to see that here but not without some flaws. Where this movie fell short was with making the antagonists so extremely bigoted and ignorant that they attacked and killed with total disregard and not the least bit of fear of the law. I don't doubt that such people exist, but these inbred yokels actually saved souvenirs of their purging the Earth of "squaws" and "Apaches".

Of course I wanted them dead as much as the next guy, but what message is the movie really sending when their undoing comes at the hands of a wronged white woman? Not one of the many Native Indians assailed by this band of bigots could have exacted revenge? Were their deaths not worthy of a merciless vengeance?

To further emphasize or garner more sympathy for Zoe's plight, she was deaf and she was engaged to a Black man. So, we witnessed a troop of trash viciously assault a pretty, young, white woman that was also handicapped. How evil must you be? And her engagement to a man of color allowed us to hear the visceral hate they had towards Blacks as they maliciously called her beloved the "N" word. As if to convey: if you didn't think they were insanely racist before when they were killing Native Indians, listen to how much they hate Black people.

Even with these exaggerations I enjoyed the movie. Amanda Adrienne did an excellent job. She played a deaf person so well I had to look her up to find out if she really was deaf. Even the method in which she spoke when she tried to speak was that of a deaf person. I can appreciate a movie being bold enough to star a deaf character. It's rare, it's risky and it worked.

From seeing the trailer of this film I thought it was going to be one of those fun slasher gore films. In a way it was but it could have had more of that stuff in it. To me this film was like a knock off of "The Crow", "I Spit On Your Grave", and a little "Kill Bill". With that being said, it did have it's own little twists that set it apart from others in it's genre. One thing that set it apart from the other films like it was the high drama content written in it. The relationship between Zoe (Amanda Adrienne) and Dane (Marc Anthony Samuel) played a big part in making this film what it was and I liked that. If this film just had a little more action, slashing, and gore in it I think it would have been almost perfect.

Sweet, deaf girl is randomly savaged to death by a bunch of desert yahoos. But the spirit of another victim revives her corpse, and the revenge is unstoppable.

Moral stuff really bores me and I don't much like revengers, but it's a good 'un. This time we get into over-the-top supernatural gore, with good style and sympathetic characters, plus touches of humour.

The story is the usual nonsense of suburban superior to rural (with a dose of US racial prejudice), but I liked almost everything – direction, editing, cinematog, pace & action, with a plot that winds up steadily. Some decent real-effect gore, restrained on the sex, scent of cheese on the CGI.

Acting is good, with the best line: "My, oh my – something dead has been living in here." Dialogue gets heavy in a bloated end sequence with lots of exposition. The only other drawback is the over-use of music – often perfect, but let me figure it out for myself.

Overall, a moral story so not a true horror, but well told.

First, I expected a funny mix of 'I Spit on your Grave' and "'Johnny Firecloud' (if anyone's seen this), but after 15 minutes all my hopes were fading away. There's almost nothing to praise about this highly naive revenge tale: Bad acting, no suspense, lame storyline and even the creative killing from other movies of this kind is completely missing: One guys colon's teared out while two others get beheaded, but that's it. The heroine turns from a dumb little innocent into a monstrous freak, the conjuration scene is some of the most ridiculous put on screen during the last few years. Sadly, everything is meant absolutely serious. This could have been a great reference to the Grindhouse movies, but it fails in every sense. Even if you're into extreme horror stuff try to find something better...

This low-budget supernatural action horror film is proof that you don't need a billion dollars to make a good, enjoyable, and high-end movie - worth watching on the big screen...

I've watched the movie during the "Screamfest" horror film festival in LA, 2013, and although I had no expectations, I was surprised by the quality of the film...

Director Michael S. Ojeda has done beautiful work - with a wonderful little tale of revenge that turns epic, artistic shots and mise-en- scene, which fit perfectly in the slasher-genre, great actor-directing, fluent and precise editing, and excellent special effects...

In my opinion, having done most of the pre-production and post- production work on his own - definitely entitles Ojeda as being a new generation "Auteur-Director"...

The cast was awesome, each and everyone of them, and the producers have done great work - utilizing whatever budget they managed to scrape into making this slasher a great movie...

Avenged is nothing more than a decent low budget revenge horror film. That's fine. I like this stuff. I don't even care if it's a ripoff of "I Spit on Your Grave," with Native American supernatural forces mixed in. I've always found that stuff to be hokey, but I'll go along for the ride. The story is quite familiar, but who cares, it's cheap horror. The characters are reasonably well developed for this genre, although the acting is spotty enough to knock the movie down a peg. The art direction is mostly good and the lighting is effective. The cinematography is fairly good most of the time, but too often, seriously betrays the film's low budget. The gore effects and CGI are good enough, considering. I could have enjoyed the movie and given it 4 stars for being above average and reasonably entertaining. But I'd bet my right eye that the 5 star reviews (9-10 stars on IMDb) are written by people with some connection to the filmmaker. This movie is just too flawed, in really big, obvious ways for that many people to love it that much. So watch it if you want, but I'd recommend lowering your expectation if you don't want to feel cheated at the end, as I and most of the honest reviewer were.

Sometimes a smaller budget puts out a better film. Amanda Adrienne Smith did a splendid job, as did all of the characters involved in the making of this film. Rod Rowland came through the whole thing unscathed...for the most part anyway and kept the character true to form all the way through. The nasty crew that he kept company with performed so well that I loved to see them depart the ways they did. The western setting left me feeling for our star as she was so helpless in the vast expanses. To see the outcome of the movie was both gratifying and a little disappointing... no spoiler alert. MR. ROWLAND, you got what you deserve and I'll be glad to give you chainsaw lessons. LOL!

I saw this at Leeds Night of the Dead horror festival last year. It was atrocious. In a room full of hardened, full-on horror fans it got absolutely laughed off the screen.

I am usually very fair with movies, and if they have tried hard in at least some aspect of their production, I will reflect that with a fair score and review. This movie, however, deserves none of that.

It is full of inconsistencies and logical flaws, but worse than that is the fact that the makers of this thought that they could spice up the rape revenge sub-genre by making it half supernatural. Eh? How in the world do those two types of horror movie fit? The answer is that they don't. At all. The ending shot looks and sounds like a cheap whiskey commercial, and after watching it I wished I could have downed a bottle in order to forget that I'd lost 90 minutes of my life on this movie.

Everyone in the audience was laughing at the unintentionally cheesy or just plain ridiculous plot/characters/script and the sound of derision filled the air as it ended. Save your time and money guys.

People rating this movie at a 1-3 have obviously never seen a bad movie. This one is at the very least average. I give a 7 as far as revenge movies go. Could have been better but still very entertaining.

This one gets more and more ridiculous by the minute. They should have just sticked with the rape and revenge genre they were going for and had better let the spiritual CGI junk out of it. Very bad movie, i was glad when it was over. (Hahah)

Most of the reviews for this movie were positive so I thought why not give it a chance and was thrilled to discover it lived up to the promise. I don't have much to add to the reviews you'll find here already, they cover most of what I thought. It was engaging, familiar but unique, had me gasping at moments, groaning with disgust at others, laughing at times & shocked at others. There isn't much to dislike - other than the occasional bad CGI but there is also so much to love about the production, acting, cinematography, special FX, makeup (particularly brilliant on makeup) and overall pacing/building of tension etc. I loved every moment. I had to laugh at the 2 or 3 bad reviews. I suspect they are written by sensitive sallies who took exception to the portrayal of those nice white American rapists/killers as racist, sexist, misogynistic morons LOL Suck it up guys. :D Highly recommended indy flick for any genuine fan of the horror genre, especially those of the Spit on Your Grave, Last House on the Left etc variety. That pub scene tho..... *ouch* LOL

I watched this film given a lot of the reviews were positive; albeit dubious.

The general story wasn't too bad as a concept.

However, the cinematography was dire. The camera work was making me feel sick and the film felt a bit low budget as a result. The film also seemed ridiculous in places and almost cartoon like.

I had the pleasure of seeing this film at Screamfest 2013 and was blown away. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about the movie and with fairly low expectations due to a lot of the films I've seen at other horror festivals.

I came out of it with a renewed hope and optimism for the entire film industry. I'm rarely impressed with movies anymore and when I am, they're original indie gems that go against the Hollywood/studio status quo- 'Savaged' is one of those, but it's also more than that. It's perhaps the best indie horror film I've seen since 'Evil Dead', seriously.

The movie has an indie feel but the filmmakers achieved a very high production value all around with great picture quality, color grading, solid cinematography, wonderful practical and digital effects, perfect editing, solid performances all around with interesting characters, and most importantly- an original, entertaining, and fun story.

I highly recommend horror fans get their hands on this movie the second it is released!

Even though it's low budget,the visual effects are impressive. Actually it is the coolest thing in the movie. The story you might have seen it a few times.This subject,revenge movies,always come back because for some of us that's the only way we can see some justice in this apparently random life.

The actors,the locations,the atmosphere,the action make it worth watching. The director Michael S. Ojeda did a god job.I am definitely curious to see more of his work which i already checked on IMDb and realized that all of them are small movies.He should be given a opportunity to do something big.And the main actress impresses with her versatility.Her facial expressions are very convincing!

What was used to film this? A Nokia 3310? Very poor quality filming. I understand not all films have a big budget but honestly my phone camera is better than this rubbish!
