Savage Harvest (1994 film)

Plot

Six young people are caught in a night of hell in the wilderness as demons begin taking over their bodies. They must decipher a message left by a Cherokee elder before the long "Trail of Tears" march if they're to get through the night alive.

Reception

Chad Connolly of The Movies Made Me Do It commented that "While I wouldn't go so far as to call Savage Harvest an "excellent horror movie", I do have to say that it's one of the better ones that I've seen dealing with this subject matter", and that it contains "some damned fine gore sequences". William R. Colby of KillingBoxx.com said that "it isn't nearly as polished as some of [Stanze's] other films", but that "the effects work is above average and gorehounds will appreciate the fun bloodletting that occurs." Michael Scrutchin of Flipside Movie Emporium gave the film a B+ and said, "This one outshines many of its bigger budgeted peers in terms of pure style and fun. You get all the flesh-eating, throat-ripping, screwdriver-stabbing, chainsaw-roaring entertainment you could possibly want."
