Lawrence Gough's horror thriller ploughs its way through its strange plot pretty thoroughly. Go to Full Review

It's a promising premise that soon gets stuck in a cul-de-sac. Go to Full Review

Ron W Mar 24, 2017 Relentlessly jarring. SALVAGE zips through its first act so fast and smoothly, that by the time you've met the central characters, start to see what the stakes are for each one, and start to wonder how it could possibly unfold into a juggernaut of a horror film, you've already been gobsmacked with the same disorienting fear that the main characters are -- IMMEDIATELY -- subjected to, with no warning signs or routine gags/laughs to break any early tension. Consider SALVAGE the film-version of your first ever experience with ingesting a highly effective stimulant as in caffeine, nicotine, or more appropriately for this analogy, methamphetamine...It's intense. It's seemingly short-lived, and doesn't hang around too long, and when it's run its course, you are going to need to mentally unwind for a number of hours from the abuse your central nervous system just went through. (But this is a good thing!) See SALVAGE. Don't watch trailers, read reviews, or look up anything about it before hand. If you're a horror fan, this low-budget fright flick more than earns its welcome onto your screen. I'm pretty sure when you buy this movie you get a complimentary cargo-freighter of Red Bull, 5-Hour Energy, Caffeine Pills, some medical needles, and a first aid kit that consists of a Vitamin Water and two xanax bars for post-viewing trauma mitigation. Okay, but wouldn't that be great though? You'd certainly need it... See more
