Some friends take in a weekend at a secluded country house and are put in harm's way by a mask wearing psychopath.
Savage Weekend has the distinction of being a slasher film before many were being made and that's neat and all, but it's clear that the formula hadn't been perfected yet. It's nice to see characters who are a little more mature than usual in one of these movies. That's one of the fun parts about watching these pre-Halloween slashers. The rules hadn't been fully established and it feels like anything can happen. The horror scenes aren't very scary, but there's a fun DIY aspect to it that keeps you engaged and I don't think there's ever been another murder by hat pin on screen.
