A few weeks back we were rewarded with some new images from MTV’s horrifying upcoming web series SAVAGE COUNTY (check ’em out HERE), and look what we have to be thankful for today… a few more images to toss in the pile.
Directed by David Harris, the 8 part series (each 10 minutes in length) is a tribute of sorts to the backwoods cannibal genre created by THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. If you needed any more proof to the fact, just check out the cowboy hat wearing group of inbreds in the new pic above. If that doesn’t scream scary backwoods hillbilly, I don’t know what does!
SAVAGE COUNTY goes a little something like this: On the last weekend before prom, a mismatched group of high school kids heads to a remote pond to drink beer and hang out. When the beer runs dry, the conversation turns to daring Patrick, the runt of the group, into knocking on the door of the Hardells – the reclusive family that owns the land the pond is on. Patrick takes up the dare, knocks on the Hardells’ door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a shotgun. When Patrick’s friends come to his defense, the oldest Hardell is killed in the shuffle. Scared and guilty – the teens flee the crime. When the rest of the Hardell clan finds the old man murdered, they seek out vengeance. One-by-one, the teens are hunted down by Orry, the sexually oppressed mute, Willard, the long-haired wildman, and Kasper, the cold-blooded family leader.
In other words, this time it’s time to root for the inbreds! These f*cking kids sound like they have it coming to them (well, to some degree), so it should be interesting to see how it all plays out. I’m oddly excited, even after hearing what a piece of poop MTV’s MY SUPER PSYCHO SWEET 16 was. No bother… I’ll still check this puppy out.
Enjoy the new blood-splattered halter-top pics below, and get ready for SAVAGE COUNTY broadcast worldwide on the internet starting this February.
