Savage is a 2009 Irish psychological thriller film directed by Brendan Muldowney, starring Darren Healy and Nora-Jane Noone.
Donald Clarke of The Irish Times called the film a "finely honed shocker enlivened by occasional moments of impressively black humour".
[1] Gareth Jones of Dread Central gave the film a score of 4/5 and called it an "earnest, and devastating, study of the psychological effects of victimisation, brutalisation, intimidation, and sheer aggression turned inwards.
"[2] Paul Whitington of the Irish Independent rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that it "goes a long way on a very slim premise".
Whitington praised the sound effects but criticised the "baroque conclusion that clumsily hammers home the film's message.
