We got dropped a press release this afternoon informing us of a new horror project in the works! Fresh off the heels of their first made-for-tv horror pic "My Super Psycho Sweet 16" (
Review), now MTV is moving forward with their first ever made-for-online horror film, "Savage County". The pic was shot in Memphis Tennessee this past summer in High Definition. The film, was designed to be watched episodically, as it will be presented in 8 ten-minute chapters, and features appearances by Mimi Michael (Boogeyman 3), and local Memphis actors. David Gale and Craig Brewer Produced the film, which was directed by first-time-helmer David Harris. The project, which was shot for $250,000, is being billed as a tribute to Tobe Hooper's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre', and other 70's horror films. Yet it will be current musically, featuring indie and rockabilly music. |
The synopsis for "Savage County" is as follows..."On the last weekend before prom, a mismatched group of high school kids heads to a remote pond to drink beer and hang out. When the beer runs dry, the conversation turns to daring Patrick, the runt of the group, into knocking on the door of the Hardells - the reclusive family that owns the land the pond is on. Patrick takes up the dare, knocks on the Hardells' door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a shotgun. When Patrick's friends come to his defense, the oldest Hardell is killed in the shuffle. Scared and guilty - the teens flee the crime. When the rest of the Hardell clan finds the old man murdered, they seek out vengeance. One-by-one, the teens are hunted down by Orry, the sexually oppressed mute, Willard, the long-haired wildman, and Kasper, the cold-blooded family leader."
