Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

adi_2002 Please read this review only after you have watched the movie.In Salvage we met Claire, a teen who lives in a small city with her mom and works as a clerk at a local supermarket. She begins to have dreams in witch she is brutally murdered by a stranger who came to pick her up from work one day instead of her boyfriend. Now she must find out why is this happening to her and discover who is the mysterious man that appears in her visions.As you can see I didn't talk too much about the topic because is so strange and is hard to discuss about it. In the beginning when I've seen Claire beaten up I thought that I will see what is going to happen next but the big surprise was that in reality nothing happened. Then these visions reappear and vanishes again and so on. I must say that the film is unique in it's own bizarre way. The horror scenes are few but scary and gory. This movie is going to be hard to understand even for a fan of mystery genre. I truly did not get it, after all was it about multiple personality? Or body transportation? Leaves you with a lot of questions in your mind. From a horror/thriller in the end got a bit SF but clearly the type of movie that you will not forget too soon.

KingDor I was flipping through channels one day and I came across Salvage, by the Crook Brothers. There was a girl on the screen who reminded me of Alicia Silverstone being pulled into a basement by a menacing ginger.I was hooked.Salvage has some truly tense moments, accompanied by on-the-edge sound effects that seemed giallo-inspired, and solid acting. This movie is one of those rare kind of horror movies where the ending is actually good. And I mean REALLY good! It was a great twist. This film is proof that a low budget does not have to mean low quality. The plot, and the twist, is well thought out and creative. The acting is surprisingly well done by both killer and victim. He feels genuinely intimidating while she is easy to sympathize with. The only blemishes on this fine film would be the musical soundtrack, which was jarring with the atmosphere of the movie, and the acting of Claire's boyfriend, Jimmy. It wasn't that Jimmy was acted poorly, it just wasn't as good as the rest of the cast.

John Rankine I'm not usually that impressed by independent films because I like my movies glossy and slick but this one stands out because everything takes place against a background of mundane normality. No glamorous instantly recognisable stars or exotic locations in this movie. The cast all look like the guy/gal next door and the locations are authentic small town USA which in itself is like another world to us British viewers. Lauren Currie Lewis is completely believable as Claire the girl who dies again and again in her personal horror groundhog day and despite the clue earlier on I didn't see the twist coming at all. Didn't think much of the actors portraying the cops though, they let down the hard work done by the three main players and the scene in the service station was obviously inspired by Switchblade Romance but overall well done guys, great job - 8/10

Lynne F. I have been a horror/thriller enthusiast much of my life and have been requested to both view and opin films from "B-rated" to independent to studio quality. I had heard about "Salvage" from the Sundance reviews, but only recently had the opportunity to view it myself. I found this film extremely well scripted, produced and edited, especially given the limited funding/production costs. Outside of the technical aspects…the cast was outstanding; lending both realism and drama to their characters. The villain and victim were engaging and I found myself empathizing with them both in very different ways. In light of todays hi-tech graphics and computer-generated thrills, Salvage is a credit to its genre. You are intrigued and held hostage to the plot until the final, twisted end. Bravo.
