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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
Thank you.
