1994's "Savage Harvest" is a shot-on-video feature from writer/director Eric Stanze, who works to bring his love of horror cinema to the screen with his own take on a demonic uprising story. The picture was shot in rural Missouri with an amateur cast, with Stanze trying to make the most of a difficult situation, straining to make his own "Evil Dead" without help from production polish and talented actors. The helmer eventually delivers bloodshed and physical threats, but "Savage Harvest" takes a long time to get to the good stuff, finding Stanze way too committed to the negligible details of his story, hammering the endeavor with eternal stretches of exposition before he finally unleashes his version of hell.
