Living in a society where wars stretch
on for decades and police are cleared of all charges for killing children and
unarmed adults, we have become accustomed to violence. Weather we agree with it
or not, it is there. Nudity has become more acceptable and accessible. It could
be due to the loss of jobs and the way nudity combines the appreciation of
beauty, the freedom, gaining of popularity, and the earning potential that
comes with it. Either way it’s loved by many. Why am I speaking about it? Take
violence and nudity and combine them and you get a horror movie. Most of us
adore horror movies and were able to transition to the horror television shows
like walking dead, American horror stories and all the rest.
Dan Smith is a writer and a director who
has delivered various areas of visual art. He’s done illustration, art
directing and designing and advertising.
Now advancing to his latest project
contains elements of a superior human being. You have major elements of unity,
feminism, and empowerment, along with one of our favorite things, horror.
What I’m speaking of is Savage Sistas.
The new horror movie, also the only horror film where there are four brown
women as leading ladies.
This
is an interesting movie and the story list as follows:
When four girl friends from LA
hit the road to Vegas for a weekend of fun they find themselves lost on a
desert highway and stalked by a family of psychotic, blood-thirsty rednecks.
As a fan of horror you can
probably guess where this is going… but there’s a good chance you’d be wrong.
These characters are not
helpless clichés, tropes or sassy stereotypes.
Each one of these leading
ladies is smart, resourceful and definitely badass!
The leading cast is made up of :
Erica Renee Davis,
Denee Busby,
Amazon Beard,
Ladae Bond.

PRODUCTIONS LLC, 4096 Piedmont Avenue #336, Oakland, CA 94611 and look out for
Savage sistas in April of 2016.
Dan’s goal was to see more women of color in horror films! Not
understanding why does Hollywood create so few kickass roles for Black women in
this genre? So instead of waiting for Hollywood, they’ve created their own movie.
SAVAGE SISTAS is not
related to the 1974 action film SAVAGE SISTERS starring Gloria Hendry and by no
means is this a Blaxploitation parody. This is a new twist on an old-fashioned
horror story!
You can tell the hard work ethic because after appalling big
wigs with a movie with such a unique cast and being turned down, they kick-started
their way into completing this project.
I heard that Dan was considering using hip-hop music of Superb
Lyrics in the movie, so look out for it and be sure to support.
