Savage House
Against the backdrop of 18th century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – Sir Chauncey Savage and Lady Savage blindly pursue a better life. It's not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed, filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are pretty split on this period dark comedy about the Savage family’s desperate and bloody pursuit of a better life in 18th century England. The acting is almost universally praised, with Richard E. Grant and Claire Foy as Sir Chauncey and Lady Savage earning most of the acclaim for carrying the film. The humor also lands well, but the story itself is seen as a major weak point, coming off as thin and familiar to many. A handful of viewers were extremely vocal about the film’s nonexistent pacing, though that wasn’t a widespread complaint.
