SAVAGED is a truly terrible shot-on-video production made in 2008. The film is so cheap that it consists of a single actress wandering around an empty home and occasionally talking to herself for the entire running time. Other characters come and go but this is very much a single person feature.

I can imagine few directors would be able to pull off that premise and turn it into an interesting production, and certainly the guy who directs this is unable to do so. SAVAGED is dull, dull, dull, and the back story about a killer bear is just lame. Debbie Rochon tries to act distressed as the protagonist but just comes across as bored, and who can blame her? The only good thing about it is the cute dog.

SAVAGED begins with two, apparently headless people leaving on a trip. Enter Maria (Debbie Rochon), who has arrived to watch the decapitated couple's dog, Lotus (Valkrie). Maria and Lotus get acquainted, have many long conversations, and share a peanut butter sandwich. The action level rises when Maria takes Lotus for a walk, resulting in Lotus smelling something. We know this due to the strange flatulence that seems to occur.

Back inside, more human / canine discussion takes place. Maria really opens up to Lotus, who looks on, bemusedly. The tension mounts as Lotus takes a dump out back, and Maria makes a phone call. Soon, Lotus takes a nap somewhere, while a backstory about an evil boyfriend is introduced. Lotus checks in to see if a movie of some sort is going on.

Nope.

Maria wonders if she should read a book, but takes a nap instead. The doorbell rings. It's the town's sheriffs. One with a beard. Back in the house, that odd farting noise returns. Maria finds a gun.

Suddenly, I break the fifth wall, begging her to just shoot me!

She doesn't.

At least Maria does take a lovely bubble bath. Her mom calls. Lotus groans. Is she the source of that mysterious, gaseous sound? Maria talks to herself. A lot. Lotus looks forlorn.

Dear God, make something, anything interesting happen! Please? Do you even exist? "No" says Lotus.

Growls out back. The cops reappear, the bearded one's face so red he looks like a moldy tomato. He'll return again for another chat. And on and on.

My friends, if you're looking for a movie with which to torture your enemies, this is it! Watch, as their brains scream for death! Otherwise, don't do this to yourselves...
