Savage House

About This Movie

Savage House, directed by Peter Glanz, is this peculiar blend of comedy and drama, set during a tumultuous time in 18th century England. You've got the pox raging and the Jacobite uprising brewing, which creates this chaotic backdrop that flavors the entire narrative. The Savages, a family with a name that drips with irony, are on this relentless quest for a better life, but it’s all so darkly humorous. The pacing has this captivating ebb and flow, drawing you in as you watch their misguided ambitions unravel. Performances are striking, especially the leads, managing to balance the absurdity with these poignant moments. It’s distinct in its ability to mix satire with genuine emotion without feeling forced. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill period piece.

Unique satirical take on historical events.Strong performances from the lead actors.Interesting blend of comedy and dark themes.
