6th March, 2013.
You know, I’m starting to think Wednesdays are getting busy!
You know, I’m starting to think Wednesdays are getting busy!
No, seriously.
I’m mean, a blood test, shopping, putting up the Gazette Teasers, here and on their site.
Plus finishing off some Teasers, doing the associated videos AND writing about a movie, where possible!
Actually … ?
That’s simpler than you might think.
You see, last night, I managed to rent a film from iTunes — birthday money, don’tchaknow — hook the iPod up to the TV, through my new Dock …
And got watching … Salvage …
~≈§≈~
Released in 2009, Salvage opens with a paperboy delivering one of his last papers on Christmas Eve: and spotting an argument at one of his drops.
He manages to get away … Only to met SOMETHING nasty in the nearby woods.
Meanwhile, events elsewhere on the street, see Jodie (Linzey Cocker) returning home to see her mother, Beth (Neve McIntosh*) for the holiday.
Arriving just in time for the street to be raided by a squad of heavily armed special forces soldiers: soldiers who’re hunting for something.
Something nasty …
Something nasty,with a taste for random violence …
And something that’s killing Beth’s neighbours, one by one.
~≈§≈~
Now, I’ll happily admit, Salvage is not a big-budget, popcorn movie.
A long way from it: it was, after all filmed on the exterior set that had been used for long-running soap, Brookside, after the show had ended.
But it IS a fun little romp of a horror-film: one that, considering the price it cost to rent … ? Wasn’t bad value for money, at all.

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
