Paramount Pictures has debuted the official trailer for ‘Savage House,’ a darkly comedic period drama that slices into the excesses of the British upper class with a razor dipped in irony.
Set in 18th-century England during a devastating pox outbreak and the political unrest of the Jacobite Uprising, ‘Savage House’ follows the wildly ambitious Sir Chauncey Savage, played by Richard E. Grant, and his equally driven wife, Lady Savage, portrayed by Claire Foy. Together, the pair pursue status and prosperity with tunnel vision, leaving chaos, scandal, and more than a little bloodshed in their wake.
The trailer teases a world dripping in decadence, where powdered wigs barely conceal moral decay. Duels erupt like sudden thunderstorms, alliances crumble over candlelit dinners, and the Savages’ stately home becomes a stage for absurdity and brutality alike. The film leans heavily into its satirical edge, turning aristocratic ambition into something grotesque and darkly hilarious.
Written and directed by Peter Glanz, ‘Savage House’ blends historical drama with biting social commentary. The ensemble cast includes Jack Farthing, Bel Powley, Kila Lord Cassidy, Richard McCabe, Vicki Pepperdine, and Pip Torrens.
