Watch Savage Weekend For Free

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Savage Weekend (1979) * 1/2 (out of 4) Five New Yorkers head to the country so that one of them can check on a boat that he's having built. Once there they settle in but soon a psycho in a mask shows up and starts killing them off.SAVAGE WEEKEND might seem like a Friday THE 13TH or HALLOWEEN clone but this here was actually made in 1976 but not released until 1979. With that in mind, it's easy to see why this thing wasn't released because outside of a few good things there's really not too much here worth watching. The biggest problem with this picture is that it's pretty much deadly dull and you're just waiting around forever for something fun or interesting to happen but you just keep waiting and waiting.The boredom is the film's biggest fault as we're introduced to some slightly interesting characters but absolutely nothing is done with them. We get incredibly boring subplots that just drag the film down even more. The characters are pretty much what you'd expect from a one-note film like this. You've got the divorced woman fearful of her ex but she's still with her new boyfriend. You've got the slut friend and of course there's a good-looking man there for her. The fifth member of the group is a gay man who is basically just comic relief but I will admit that he's the best thing about the film. Not only do we get some funny scenes with him but he also manages to beat up some rednecks in a local bar.The murder sequences are all mostly forgettable as there's not enough memorable violence or gore to recommend this to horror fans. The actual mystery is kept fairly well but at the same time you don't really care who is killing everyone. The film ends with a decent machete versus chainsaw battle and I will admit that the set-up of the picture pays off nicely at the end. Still, SAVAGE WEEKEND is a forgettable horror film that not even the non-stop nudity can save.

A group of well-to-do New Yorkers go on a weekend trip into the country and get picked off by a mask-wielding psycho.There's a lot of plot exposition setting up one character in particular as the killer, so it's not much of a surprise that this person ends up not being the killer, and it's also not much of a surprise when we find out who the killer is, despite the moment being treated like a big reveal. The killings are far too tame to appease gore hounds, but there's plenty of nudity for those looking for it. The film's pretty entertaining, actually, the kind of bad movie that you can laugh at despite it's being so sleazy. There are numerous bizarre choices made throughout, like the inclusion of a snarky gay character who beats up two rednecks in a bar and has some sort of sexual dysfunction that's introduced but never developed, and a seduction scene that revolves around the milking of a cow.No one in the film was recognizable, for obviously good reasons once you see them act, with the exception of the actor who went on to play Larry on the T.V. show "Newhart." Grade: C+

The plot = A bunch of people goes to the country side and fix up they're friends boat and surprise surprise a killer shows up and starts picking them off one by one.To be honest I just didn't get this movie at all, for a start it takes way too long for anything to happen and when it does well, it's just forgettable, I mean I couldn't remember a single killing, because when it finally does happen, I was dropping off to sleep at the boringness of the first hour or so. The film is just so shoddy and not very well done, as you can see the boom mic in practically every shot and the acting was appalling at the best of times, like the part where the girl seems to enjoy getting raped, that was just stupid and laughable. There are just way too many plot holes which makes this movie hard to follow. The only thing I liked was the ending I was actually quite surprised by the identity of the killer, but by then It was too late to save this movie.All in all This movie had no imagination at all and deserves to be forgotten, you're more likely to yawn than be scared by this.

"Savage Weekend" is the story of some friends who go to upstate New York for the weekend to watch a friend's boat being built. Suddenly, a killer in an odd mask begins murdering the group of friends. Wow, this movie was true seventies awesomeness, I counted about 12 boom mics in the screen and the crew's equipment is even visible in one scene! So why did I give this movie 6 stars? Because it was so bad that it rocks!! Some people aren't able to appreciate the cheesiness of these kind of movies, but in my opinion, it just makes the movie better. Also, the bar scene was HILARIOUS for all the wrong reasons! This has tons of nudity and violence (albeit fake-looking), living up to its reputation as a sleazy drive-in gem. The version that I saw came in Mill Creeks "Horror Classics" 100 Movie Pack. Recommended! Rated: R for Violence, Nudity, and Gratuitous Boom MicGrade: C-
