"Marauders" is a zero-budget independent movie from director Mark Savage that is part horror, part revenge movie. Like earlier exploitation and grindhouse films, the movie enters taboo territories. We see the murder of children, there are scenes of rape and graphic violence to boot - this is, without doubt, a hard-hitting picture.
Savage used friends as the cast and the use of non-professional actors is one of the weak points of the production. Despite this, "Marauders" isn't bad, it just fails to really engage the viewer. On the positive side, the use of a high-end camera gives the film a polished appearance.
Oh, one last thing. "Marauders" features one of the most painfully realistic hit-and-run scenes ever!
6 out of 10. A tighter script and more creativity would have made this a better film.
