Savage Harvest

I watched this movie when I was 8 yr old kid and again had an opportunity to see in recent times.Still one of my best movies ever watched.Really a great camera work with taking into account 15/20 lions a truly thrilling direction.Audience need to see this movie in realistic perspective rather then finding too much logical conclusion.Overall it entertains for all age group.Though it was weak acting link to it.All attention goes on Lions and lion how they attack they kill each other, desperate to get their share of food.The ending was really good compared to the beginning.Breath taking sequences.Moving grips right from the beginning.There have been lot of movies on lions such as Ghost and the darkness,prey etc but this movies stands way ahead from other movies.

A pride of lions attack a family in Africa, surrounding the house, and trying to get in persistently.This is the best movie I ever seen about lions. Besides, is a real story, a terrific one. Obviously, lions are superstars in this movie (but sincerely their performance is even better than human crew), the scenes about attacking pride are almost real, scaring, stressing; beautiful African landscapes. Please, someone ask to Twentieth Century Fox or birch class productions to release it on DVD format. Have you seen how many people are searching for it in the internet? I'm looking for this film two years ago. Unfortunately, this is out of stock. If you are a lucky owner, keep it safe because this is probably the last one in the market .... and ENJOY!

Normally, when a movie is unavailable anywhere, it is because the movie is lousy. Savage Harvest though is a different story. It's sort of a Jaws-like thriller but involves killer lions and is set on the veldts of Kenya. It features an American family under siege by the cats and it is these scenes that really make the movie. The early scenes which set up the action are forgettable but once the lions take the stage, the suspense begins to mount. The film features some pretty real-looking attacks. Hopefully the animal trainers and wranglers were well paid. Nobody seems to have heard of this movie but if you happen to spot it on cable TV, give it a look. It's worth it!

I have been looking for a copy of this movie since I saw it several times during a cable-TV run.As is often the case I didn't know I wanted a copy until years had passed and I have been unable to view it or own it. I want to watch it with my grandchildren;to add it to the list of things I want them to know while I am still able to play the part of wise old grandad.I have enjoyed repeating one of the lines:" Mem-Saab said stay inside" to my sons who have seen the movie,as "We don't need no stinking Batches"et al.The movie I am sure will not disappoint my 'students" if I can obtain a copy and herd them into a viewing mood and room.The lion, victim interaction beats any other frightening movie of which animals are a prominent feature earthly or unearthly .

I taped this movie years ago and wondered at the time how the lion scenes were produced. I watched it again today and am still perplexed. Was this filmed in Africa or in the US with circus lions? There was another film, "The Gods Must Be Crazy II" in which lions played a significant role. I'd like explanations.
