DEFENCELESS (2006)
DEFENCELESS: A BLOOD SYMPHONY is Violence as Art, Terror as Beauty, a blood-stained tale of a vengeance as ferocious as Mother Nature herself spawned in a watery grave.
A determined woman (Susanne Hausschmid) refuses to bow to the demands of land developers eager to exploit her beachfront paradise. They in turn begin a cruel, violent campaign to destroy her and everything she holds dear that culminates in a brutal assault intended to end her opposition to their development. But sometimes, justice can transcend death, and when the woman returns to avenge her losses, there will be no mercy...
Winner: Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Actress, Melbourne Underground Film Festival 2005
"Shocking, beautiful and brilliant... Controversial director Mark Savage's latest is a masterpiece and unlike anything else I have ever seen." -Terra Australis Magazine
"A confronting feast of bloodshed, eroticism and arthouse style..." -Neu Art Review
"Savage's films go where most fear to tread." -Terra Australis Magazine
SENSITIVE NEW AGE KILLER (aka SNAK; 2000)
Struggling hitman Paul Morris (Paul Moder) is handicapped by his sensitive nature and very complicated life. When he is not being shot at, punched, kicked, and stabbed, Paul is being blackmailed into twisted sex acts by horny female cop and amateur dominatrix Matty (Carolyn Bock). Meanwhile Paul's psychotic partner George (Kevin Hopkins) is sabotaging his hits, while his poor wife Helen (Helen Hopkins) becomes the focus of George's warped "mother" fixation.
Things get even stickier for Paul when his childhood hero and career inspiration, "The Snake" (Frank Bren), hits town to fight Paul for the right to do the same "big hit" as him.
The most successful independent release ever in Australia

MARAUDERS (1987)
The two "marauders", JD Kruger (Zero Montana) and Emilio East (Colin Savage), are dangerous white trash delinquents from the Australian ghetto. After killing his mother, JD heads out to carouse with Emilio, but gets knocked over in a hit-and-run accident on the way. Not exactly the forgiving type, he and Emilio begin hunting down the driver, David Frazer (Paul Harrington), rip off a local pub and rape a publican's daughter. A mob of angry locals gathers and hunts down the Marauders vigilante style in the film's violent conclusion.
