Mark Savage Movies
On the heels of a successful debut at the Celebration Theatre in Los Angeles and an impressive eight-year run on the New York stage, the raucous musical showered with accolades by both LA Weekly and Backstage West -- and featuring show-stopping tunes by Bruce Vilanch, Shelley Markham, Stephen Bates, Robert Schrock, and Mark Winkler -- can finally be enjoyed by theater fans who may not have had the opportunity to catch it in person. Everyone knows that nudity is only natural, and as an impressive cast of actors, singers, and dancers including Kevin Stea, Jason Currie, Phong Truong, Joseph Keane, Andrew Blake, Anthony Manough, and original cast member Vincent Zamora drop their drawers to perform such sings as "Fight the Urge," "Nothin' But the Radio On," and "Robert Mitchum," home viewers can finally find out firsthand what all the fuss and fun is about. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
When a woman residing in a beachfront paradise refuses to relinquish her land to greedy developers, the battle over property quickly turns into a struggle for survival in director Mark Savage's brutal and entirely silent horror yarn. Unwilling to accept their lucrative offer for her land, a defiant woman is brutalized and murdered for her courage in standing up against men who believe that money gives them power over the lives of others. Unlike vengeance, however, money cannot transcend death, and when the woman returns from beyond the grave to make her murderers pay for their crimes, the ultimate violence committed against her proves just the beginning of a merciless onslaught of death and destruction. A harrowing journey of greed and brutality, Savage's shocking tale took home the "Best Film," "Best Actress," and "Best Cinematography" awards at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In this thriller from Australia, Paul Morris (Paul Moder) is a man leading a double life; on the surface, he appears to be a good-natured suburban husband and father. But Paul earns his living as a hired killer, and while he's fussy about who he'll murder and why, he and his partner (Kevin Hopkins) have few qualms about their line of work. Paul decided as a child that he wanted to become a hit man, when he happened to see noted mob enforcer The Snake (Frank Bren) perform an execution. Now a female police officer (Carolyn Bock) is blackmailing Paul into becoming her sex slave, while playing Paul and The Snake against each other after discovering they've both been hired to kill the same man. Sensitive New-Age Killer is the third feature from Aussie crime-drama specialist Mark Savage, and the first to be shot on film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The two violence-prone men who are seen at the beginning of this film have gone right over the deep end. Not content with just terrorizing his wife, Emilio shoots her for failing to give him their car keys then discovers he had them in his pocket all along. His buddy Jamie seems to have a penchant for killing folks and bringing them home to give their bodies his necrophiliac attentions; when his mother complains, he kills her with his knife. In a parallel story, a relatively innocent schoolgirl has made an appointment to have sex with the class stud, a boy who readily beds 'em where he can. However, she doesn't know this about him, and thinks she is special to him. On their way to a cabin in the woods, their path crosses that of the psychopathic duo, and nothing good comes of it. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
