Get ready for a bloodbath on Brookside Close.
British horror flick Salvage is released in cinemas by Revolver Entertainment this Friday, March 19.
Starring Neve McIntosh (Bodies, Doctor Who, Gormenghast) and Shaun Dooley (Married Single Other, EastEnders), it's the feature debut of director Lawrence Gough and has been a big hit at film events.
At the Fantastic Fest in Texas, Neve Mcintosh won the Best Horror Actress Award.
It's written by Hollyoaks scribe Colin O'Donnell and was shot by director of photography Simon Tindall (Bright Star, The Queen, 28 Days Later) on location in and around Merseyside and on the Brookside Close housing estate set that was built for the TV soap Brookside.

One of the films I was most impressed with at last year’s Film4 Frightfest in London is Lawrence Gough’s claustrophobic creature feature Salvage (review here). Finally the flick will be slamming in with a limited UK theatrical release (along with Sky Box Office, iTunes, FilmFlex, and LOVEFilM) on March 19th. A few days later, on the 22nd, it will appear on retail shelves on DVD -- all courtesy of Revolver Entertainment.
Synopsis:
It’s Christmas Eve, and a quiet cul-de-sac is suddenly plunged into a world of violence, terror, and paranoia when a group of heavily armed military personnel storms the area, sealing off the close and ordering the residents at gunpoint to retreat inside their homes. Unsure if this is the first sign of a terrorist attack, or something worse, one local single mother, Beth (Neve Mcintosh), finds it in herself to fight to save her estranged daughter,...

"Salvage", a new low-budget, U.K. horror thriller directed by Lawrence Gough, takes place in a small Liverpool suburb the day that a strange cargo container has washed up on a nearby shore. As a testament to what's possible with limited funds, it's yet another confirmation that close attention to story, character and performance will always elevate a movie, no matter what the cash flow. In this particular case, however, the actual horror elements fizzle, and the whole thing comes up a bittersweet bust.
It's Christmas Eve, and Jodie (Linzey Cocker) is on her way to Liverpool to spend the holiday with her estranged mother, even though she'd prefer to stay with her more loving father Clive (Dean Andrews). Moments after Clive drops her off and drives away, Jodie...

Beth's estranged daughter is coming home for Christmas the morning a strange container washes up on the nearby beach. When she catches her mother in the act with a married neighbour, Kieran, the girl runs off to her friend’s house and things start to get weird for the neighbourhood. Military helicopters and Sas troops swarm down on the area and order everyone back inside, but it's not long until the army presence in the street dwindles and Beth and Kieran, still locked inside, try to figure out what's happening...
Salvage is an interesting little film, tightly shot and with many moments of tension and suspense, it's basically an ambitious attempt at a reworking of 'Right At Your Door', crossed with '28 Days...' and 'Night of the Living Dead'.
