Savaged

Savaged (2013)
In the unforgiving wilderness where vengeance transcends death, a brutal tale of supernatural justice unfolds.
Amanda Adrienne gives a powerful performance as Zoe, a deaf woman whose cross-country journey turns into a nightmare when she is brutally attacked and abandoned by a gang of local criminals. But death is not the end: when a Native American shaman attempts to save her life through an ancient ritual, her body becomes a vessel for the vengeful spirit of an Apache warrior. What begins as a tragic act of violence morphs into a supernatural quest for retribution that blurs the lines between victim and avenger.
Director Michael S. Ojeda creates a raw, uncompromising vision that combines the visceral impact of exploitation cinema with elements of Native American mysticism. The sun-bleached New Mexico landscape becomes both backdrop and character, its harsh beauty emphasizing themes of natural justice and spiritual power. Through practical effects and intense physical performances, the film creates a unique hybrid of supernatural horror and revenge thriller that transcends its genre roots.
Savaged is distinguished by Amanda Adrienne’s committed performance, who communicates much without words as she portrays both the victim and the vehicle of an ancient vendetta. The film’s unflinching focus on violence serves its themes of justice and transformation, while its incorporation of Native American spiritual elements adds depth to what could have been a simple revenge narrative.
Revenge knows no bounds. Savaged. Some spirits demand blood.
