Review of Salvage (2009) by Brody M — 15 Dec 2012
A plethora of recognisable TV faces pop up throughout this bleak horror, which successfully achieves a sense of hopelessness akin to the most incoherent nightmare. Some indication of what exactly is going on would have probably helped this miserable film gain some credibility- you don't have to explain everything, but an idea of what the fuck is going on might explain the motivations of some truly awful and inexplicably brutal behaviour.
Maybe that was the point. Well, either way, it just comes off as unnecessarily cruel and self-satisfied in retaining its mystery- possibly because the film makers didn't have a fucking clue what it was about either.
Shaun Dooley is still awesome though.
