Story wise you're not going to get anything too exceptional, though the "touch" (or twist if you want to call it that), might be appealing to some. Other than that, you do have a lot of criticism, if you want to look at it that way, about America in general. Which is a bold move, considering that is the market this is supposed to make money in that country.
On the other hand, it's obvious that it tries to leave old thinking behind and is about tolerating. The whole "native" revenge thing is convoluted though, not that you'd expect a movie like this to make much sense anyway. The effects are pretty decent for a movie with a budget limitation as this one had.

(Native) American touch
SOMETHING DEAD HAS BEEN LIVING IN HERE
Zoe (Amanda Adrienne) is a deaf girl who inherits a GTO from her father. She is obsessed with selfies and her cell phone camera. She travels out west to see her boyfriend when she runs into a group of western "yahoos" who hunt Native Americans. She becomes their prisoner. Using the pictures she sent him, her boyfriend (Marc Anthony Samuel) retraces her steps in an attempt to locate her.
The film turns into a very different "I Spit on Your Grave." The film includes an interesting "tug-o-war" with a man's intestines.
Well done, well written indie horror/slasher/revenge film for those who like that type of movie.
What you see is what you get
SAVAGED is nothing more than a supernatural spin on the I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE storyline. A deaf-mute girl is travelling by car through the desert when she accidentally witnesses a murder committed by a gang of thugs. With no intentions of letting her leave alive, they take her back to a house where she is raped and abused, before finally being killed in an escape attempt.
At this stage the story begins properly. The girl is brought back to life by a Native American shaman while the spirit of a long-dead Native American war chief hops on board. From then on it's an orgy of mean-spirited violence as the girl goes on an odyssey of vengeance and gruesome, body-mangling horror. To add to the gore effects, she's a literal shambling corpse, her body gradually breaking down thanks to the effects of the plot events.
SAVAGED is a pretty typical but well made example of this revenge-horror genre. The gore effects are plentiful and only tempered by some less-than-impressive low budget CGI which could have been done without. The script is lean and pared down, focusing on the action which is always a plus, and Amanda Adrienne gives a heartbreaking performance as the put-upon girl. Not exactly an enjoyable movie, this, but an entertaining experience all the same.
