Encouraged by the success of its online slasher flick My Super Psycho Sweet 16, MTV Films announced this week that it will spill more blood with the eight episode web-series Savage County. Directed by newcomer David Harris, Savage County centers on a group of teens who have run out of booze and out of luck while partying in hillbilly country.

MTV Films describes the web-series this way:

On the last weekend before prom, a mismatched group of high school kids heads to a remote pond to drink beer and hang out. When the beer runs dry, the conversation turns to daring Patrick, the runt of the group, into knocking on the door of the Hardells – the reclusive family that owns the land the pond is on. Patrick takes up the dare, knocks on the Hardells’ door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a shotgun. When Patrick’s friends come to his defense, the oldest Hardell is killed in the shuffle. Scared and guilty – the teens flee the crime. When the rest of the Hardell clan finds the old man murdered, they seek out vengeance. One-by-one, the teens are hunted down by Orry, the sexually oppressed mute, Willard, the long-haired wildman, and Kasper, the cold-blooded family leader.

Savage County stars Mimi Michaels (Boogeyman 3) and is produced by David Gale (Aeon Flux) and Craig Brewer (Black Snake Moan). The film was shot in Memphis for a reported $250,000. It’s set to air in February 2010.
