Avenged is nothing more than a decent low budget revenge horror film. That's fine. I like this stuff. I don't even care if it's a ripoff of "I Spit on Your Grave," with Native American supernatural forces mixed in. I've always found that stuff to be hokey, but I'll go along for the ride. The story is quite familiar, but who cares, it's cheap horror. The characters are reasonably well developed for this genre, although the acting is spotty enough to knock the movie down a peg. The art direction is mostly good and the lighting is effective. The cinematography is fairly good most of the time, but too often, seriously betrays the film's low budget. The gore effects and CGI are good enough, considering. I could have enjoyed the movie and given it 4 stars for being above average and reasonably entertaining. But I'd bet my right eye that the 5 star reviews (9-10 stars on IMDb) are written by people with some connection to the filmmaker. This movie is just too flawed, in really big, obvious ways for that many people to love it that much. So watch it if you want, but I'd recommend lowering your expectation if you don't want to feel cheated at the end, as I and most of the honest reviewer were.
... View MoreWithout any regard to driving out in the desert in a Dodge Charger, a woman sets out to find herself. She soon turns up against a small gang of misfits that have been hunting another individual. She not only does not get away in time, they catch up with the individual and kill him; before they set their sights on her. The rest of the movie involves them torturing and killing her – or so they are lead to believe. This girl is apparently either a hunter or she is really, really filled with resolve to take her tormentors down. The rest of the movie is spent with men being terrified as their numbers are picked off, one-by- one, as a woman goes primitive amazon on them. She not only boasts superior hunting skills, but she manages to steal the show. Really, the main tormentors act like rabid dogs until they become the hunted and turn in terror; they attempt one last attempt to sabotage the woman's attempts at revenge and it slowly fails miserably.The movie is not necessarily what I would call a good watch; but for those that like horror movies with lots of action and development; this may be able to fix that itch.

Despite the main plot not being so original (it could easily be named "I Spit on Your Grave 4: Indian Vengeance" LOL - which I do not intend to mean something bad, as I LOVE the "Spit on your Grave" films), there is a supernatural element added to this one and it only makes the story stronger and more interesting. The only thing that could be considered a "flaw" are some of the special effects, but the movie altogether is so amazing that even the little poor effects cannot take away any of the greatness that "Savaged" has to offer in its 95 minutes.

I suggest getting some popcorn and enjoy and nice movie with your date because you will not fall asleep on this one. The quality of the movie was awesome and in HD plus great audio. I will definitely watch this movie again to ensure I didn't miss anything. Furthermore, the Zoe is a good actor, I can see her acting in multiple horror films in the future. He boyfriend is also a good actor and should be nominated as a Oscar for his performance at the end. This is a movie that I will recommend to all of my family and friends and their friends.
