A stark representation of Ireland’s violent underbelly, Savage follows the story of Paul, who after becoming the victim of a humiliating and brutal street attack descends into a disturbed cycle of paranoia and violence, building to a bloody, shocking and vengeful conclusion. A fresh take on the revenge thriller, Savage explores the dark subject of the psychological damage of violence.
Menacing and socially poignant, Savage is as disturbing as it is thought provoking, and its brutal climax is definitely not for the faint-hearted!
