‘Savannah’s Curse’ is set in the future where resources are limited, and reserved only for society’s elite and privileged. The destitute, poor, afflicted and those who cannot be understood either by language or adversity, are institutionalised. Some of these people are ‘saved’ by the elite and forced to work in degrading circumstances, their vulnerability taken advantage of. A woman’s spirit returns, her ghost unable to rest until retribution for herself, those she left behind, and her daughter born into this world, is served.

Review by Andie Kay:
Savannah’s Curse is set in an apocalyptic future where the wealthy have the monopoly on power and keep indentured servants to serve their every whim. Writer/Director Tamara Cook set up the premise of this story beautifully and the cinematographer, Rakib Erick did a great job making it look wonderful.
I really have to commend the Visual FX expertise of Jacob Horan because it was done so incredibly well. All of the actors were very likable and did an amazing job with their roles. The paranormal aspect of this was great and I loved how the filmmakers did the séance scene.
There’s an argument that the genre of the film was a bit more defined, but I do not agree with that point of view because it makes the mystery of the story more engaging. The story and the journey it took you on was very engaging and original. It had some cool twists and we all love to see a tyrant get his comeuppance.
