Product Description
Christmas Eve, and the residents of a quiet British cul-de-sac are suddenly plunged into a world of violence, terror and paranoia when a group of heavily armed military personnel storm their road ordering them at gunpoint to retreat inside their homes. Unsure if this is the sign of a terrorist attack, or something much worse, one local mother finds it in herself to desperately fight to save her estranged daughter stranded across the street. However, with growing dread, the residents soon discover that the threat is more monstrous than any of them could possibly imagine, and survival is no longer a guarantee. A stunning debut from director Lawrence Gough, featuring an award-winning cast (Neve McIntosh Best Horror Actress at Fantastic Fest 2009), Salvage is a nail-biting exercise in sheer adrenaline-fuelled fear that will chill you to your very core.

Got to agree with Debbie B, this is a film to rent not buy, you won't want to see it again. It all takes place over Christmas Eve in a suburban cul-de-sac when the season is ruined by a squad of special forces soldiers moving in and ordering everyone indoors after shooting dead the local gp who is definitely not having a good day. The build up is long and slow and even the action is paced out considering the film is only an hour and a quarter long. What the director does do well however is sow seeds of doubt in your mind as to just what is going on. Is it a virus ala '28 days later', a terrorist attack or a monster. You never get a real feel for who the bad guy/s is/are and that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The denouement when it comes however is somewhat disappointing. The cast all do a good job although having spent so much time setting up young Jodie as a main character she then disappears till the end. There is nothing here that suffers from the low budget but it just isn't that great a film. Rent it.

Imagine a normal British film, or even a soap opera (it was shot on the old Brookside (TV show) set) with naturalistic lighting and family arguments, all very kitchen sink, then 15 minutes in a group of black-clad SAS/SWAT guys suddenly appear and people start dying mysteriously and bloodily.
It's well shot, very claustrophobic (even at the start) and the cast are very good as they have to be without a lot of FX etc. help them carry the movie.
The advertising sells it as much more of a monster movie that it really is. This is a film about small rooms and fear.

This is British horror film making at its best! Very good story that starts out so ordinary then turns into a living nightmare for the residents of a small neighbourhood! The pacing of the film is superb and the mystery slowly unravels as you watch on, its quite gripping and leaves you speculating whats happening. The cast is superb too and all play their roles brilliantly! This is at least a must watch im sure it will keep you thrilled, very original and shows what you can do on a low budget. Gem of a film!

Feeble
I was hoping for a lot from this - a new low budget British shocker that isn't 'torture porn' or another redundant zombie romp. Sad to say, Salvage really doesn't deliver. Read more

Worth salvaging
One of the better low budget horror films that I have seen in a while. The director builds the tension nicely and avoids going overboard with the gore. Read more

Dreadful
