Premise

A group of people are vacationing in the Grand Canyon, where they paddle through the Colorado River on a white water rafting tour run by a man named Dave Savage. As the trip goes on, the vacationers fall prey to a mysterious killer.[2][3]

Production

Savage Water was filmed on location along the Colorado River in Utah, and was the last of four films produced by director Paul W. Kener's company Talking Pictures.[5][6] Screenwriter Kipp Boden was an actual Utah river runner.[1] The film's theme music was provided by Doug Warr, and Kener's wife Karen and her band the KC Classics performed the song "Sherrie", which is used in the film.[1]

Home media

In May 2013, the film was released on DVD by Vinegar Syndrome as a double feature with the 1971 film Death by Invitation.[7][8]
