Savages from Hell

This movie begins with a young man named "Marco" (Diwaldo Myers) driving a large vehicle in a parade with his younger sister "Teresa" (Viola Lloyd) riding beside him. Although they live with their parents both of them dream of the day they cease being migrant laborers and settle down once and for all. So when Marco is offered a steady job at a gas station making more money than his father both Teresa and her mother are excited about it. Marco's father, on the other hand, is more pessimistic but eventually comes around to their point of view. The problem, unfortunately, is that Teresa has caught the eye of a motorcyclists named "High Test" (William P. Kelley) who wants her in the worst possible way and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. This displeases his girlfriend "Lucy" (Bobbie Byers) who is equally intent at keeping what she regards as hers. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was clearly a low-budget production which is quite evident by the film quality and the less-than-stellar acting. Fortunately, the plot contained enough suspense to keep things interesting for the most part. Additionally, I really liked the way the plight of migrant workers was depicted as well. In any case, while this certainly wasn't a great movie by any means it wasn't too bad and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
