Review of Salvage (2009) by Jarrett M — 12 Mar 2012
Salvage is a competantly made, low budget horror flick from the UK. The performances from the cast are decent, but no one is particularily gripping either. Beth, played by Neve McIntosh, is largely responsible for carrying the film, and it is a task she is capable of.
The story is interesting, but familiar to genre fans. What this film does do well is to create palpable tension and maintain it for the majority of the film. This drops off a bit as the 'monster' is revealed, but not enough to be a detriment.
Not a lot to get overly excited about with this film, but it is worth a look for genre fans and fans of UK genre films. Salvage doesn't break new ground and may not be the best looking UK horror film, but it does have heart and that goes a long way.
If you're considering seeing this, give it a chance. Just don't expect to have a religious experience.
