Needs to be in 4k the picture is dreadful But good British film horror But the picture is bad

... but wish I hadn't.

When I saw all of the reviews saying it was a 'good little British Horror', I was ready to forego a film with big budget effects in exchange for an innovative take on ...something. However the plot is wafer thin, predictable and poorly executed, which I imagine is why people are complaining they can't follow it.; the characters are irritating; it's very slow start to end; the nonsense to substance balance is heavy on the nonsense end.

There are some great British Horrors out there. This is below average, but not th worst.

Life is too short to watch films like this one! It has NO redeeming features whatsoever. I actually watched this film for free and was still annoyed! DO NOT BUY THIS FILM. The director,producer and studio behind this should feel utterly ashamed of themselves. Tut tut.

Majorly over rated, I often read reviews to make sure I'm not paying to watch a load of rubbish and as an avid horror fan I was highly disappointed with this film!

The story explains nothing, the mutant things were hilarious, lots of running about, and heavy breathing!!!

Another good movie lets keep them going.

Good acting and typical brit out look on tho things.

Good movie. worth the rent

Jim the Brit in Germany

You know a film has shocked you when you sit there at the end with your hand over your mouth reading the credits. I thought the acting was fab - the central mum figure particularly. Reminded me a lot of 'Retreat' which I would also recommend. LOTS of moments that make you jump with a good twist. However it is GORY. I know that that is a plus for many but if I had known I probably wouldn't have watched it. Good job I didn't know then ! I'd have missed out on a good, gripping yarn.

Can't see what is to not like about is film, maybe the negative reviewers are confused as it doesnt play out like the standard horror cliche. It has a real emotional punch and is engrossing.

The Good:

Scary

Horrific villan

Simple and effective

The Bad:

Im sure there's something but I can't think of anything

Good twists and unpredicatable ending. Loved the suspense, great british horror and not over the top!

soldiers are killing civilians pretty sure thats illegal , and how did that mutant turn up they didnt explain anything

Gimme 10 stars for the 'almost good' films plz.

It's OK for 99p. If you like Brit horror flicks and are stuck for something to watch it's worth a go.

absolute utter disgrace.

amazing british horror...nuff said

I was hooked from the begining, of this excellent low budget film set in an ordinary sleepy Bristish cul de scac. . A real scary tense horror with a great scrpit, great editing, and great acting.

A 'must see' 99p gem..

Very good horror movie, balancing thrill, gore, plot and character description.

Not everyone will like it,l was very excited at the beginning but it got really slow at the end.Still,if you can afford to take a risk,go for it.

Well set and staged with some parts that make you jump. Enjoyed it far more than expected. Not brilliant mind you, but good for a night in with nothing else much to do.

couldnt be bothered seeing to the end,when the soldiers turned up,acting became bad.

No winners in this glad when it ended .

British Horror when done well is superb. 28 Days Later, Dog Soldiers & The Descent show how its done.

Salvage is abysmal, it starts slowly, slows down for the middle section and the less said about the end the better.

I love films that do not shout plot explanations into your face, Blair Witch, Cloverfield, The Last Broadcast et al, but to give no explanation to a conceit that unexplained murders are occurring is lazy, arrogant and just poor film-making. I went back and replayed the mumbled points that could have been important but no, "experiments that went wrong, ultimate weapon" nothing that gives a platform from which we can buy into the story.

I was waiting for the reveal, the twist, something that made the amateur film I had just sat through (twice!) make sense. Hell if they had made just your basic blood and guts slasher with creative / stomach-churning scenes it would have been forgivable but a note to film-makers;

Have a point, have a story, have an opinion or if all else fails have vat of theatrical blood and an imagination.

Under no circumstances waste your time with this film.

I am annoyed. i read the reviews and rented this film on the back of them. I can only assume the reviews were written by friends of the cast. This film is drivel. It is cheap. It is cliched. It has an appalling ending. How it got made mystifies me. And at 1hr 15mins (including titles) it barely qualifies as a film. And believe you me - they were struggling to stretch it out that long. Avoid at all costs.

i thought this film was quite good the acting was very good though i do think it would have been much better and more believable if they had found a more realistic blood but worth watching.

Not sure all the bad ratings are a cultural misunderstanding. Even for a horror film, the plot is extremely thin. The dialogues are quite shallow, the story - if you find it - very foreseeable, but not even logic. It is just that you see where the film is going rather than events in the film developing any gravity that could fixate your mind. I started browsing the internet while watching it. While I did not find anything in the internet - I surely did not find anything remarkable in the film.

I actually read through every review in this list before I watched this film and I wish I would have listened to majority that criticised this film. The script is terrible. The directing is poor. The film is very short (fortunately). In all it is not worth ordering this movie trust me don't waste you're money like I did. It is a rarity for me to criticise a film so harshly because I am easily pleased when it comes to movies but this film is just dreadful. On paper this film is comparable to Dog Soldiers (low budget British horror flick etc) but in effect it falls way short of the mark and I guarantee it will leave you disappointed. The decision is your's

Low budget rubbish, but mercifully short

One of the worst films I have ever seen. I'm struggling to think what other films I have seen that are worse than this. I really don't understand how anyone has given it 5 stars. For a start, the plot makes no sense. By that I don't mean that the plot is far fetched. I mean it makes NO sense. When the injured soldier is explaining the plot to the Scottish mum you can actually see him thinking to himself, "This makes no sense. My career has hit an all time low. I'm glad I'm not in this film for very long because then hopefully people might forget that I was in it." Why oh why did I buy this nonsense instead of just renting it? WHY?!?!? Avoid it like H1N1.

tut tut very poor plot. very confusing!!

Not many british horror film have impressed me as much as this did. Salvage, starts off slightly slow as the characters and scene are set up for what is about to happen. It is filmed in your typical style british film and the story and screenplay are brilliant. There are some quite gory scenes, which are extremely well done. The acting is brilliant, especially by the lead actress who keeps the film tense and unpredictable. And like one of the other reviewers said, it is better than you typical british horror film, and lets face it there are that many out there.

If you like your british horror films try The Descent, 28 Days Later, Eden Lake, Hush, Dread, Triangle, Outpost or The Children.

The best I would buy now this is mindblowing

Watchable, typical low budget Great British horror. The ending is poor...it never lets the viewer realise what's going on, which I find very frustrating. However the build up to the very dissappointing ending is good. Worth renting, defintely do not buy as you will never want to watch this more than once.

Not worth a space in your iPod.

If you want a decent 3rd party film, try Franklyn.

Highly dissapointing

really baffled by the negative reviews. I suspect they are not British and less accustomed to the distinct genre that is British horror (not intended to be an insult). This one is refreshingly free of 'concessions to the US audience' who some film-makers think are too ignorant to understand our quaint local customs and idioms (always annoying to us -- we don't HAVE 'district attorneys' etc). But it's much better than the average British horror. The acting is very good, convincing and the story convoluted enough to leave you adrift (like Cloverfield) but knowing enough not to be completely disorientated. Not going to say anything to spoil the story but if you like tastefully under-spectacular (that is, no need for big explosions etc) and convincing 'real people in a crisis' this is a good one. If you like stuff like Dog Solders (this is a bit better) and Straightheads, click the button. If you thought Independence Day was a great film, probably best to move along.

this is the WORST film i have ever seen!!!!! do not buy it

Utter drivel ....

This must have been written by a pre pubescent child, this is so poor, please, for your own sake, don't waste your money on this film, pass it up and move along swiftly!

What a lot of nonsense. Badly thought out, poorly executed and difficult to follow. Pointless and silly.

Was good, but ending was shiitt

Fantastic performances and a genuinely creepy build up, this horror film has it all. Action, jumps (literally - some great 'jump' moments) and is brilliantly directed throughout. Hope to see what director Lawrence Gough does next as this is an awesome debut.

A really creepy high quality British horror!!

A great, taught, little gem of a horror movie. A must for horror fans.
