Critic Reviews

Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
Besides featuring people we can actually identify with, the film itself is actually pretty terrifying
Derek Malcolm, This is London
Lawrence Gough's horror thriller ploughs its way through its strange plot pretty thoroughly.
Alan Jones, Radio Times
A smartly budgeted and often scary chiller.
Michael Gillespie, The Skinny
It's an efficient genre workout, with plenty of shocks and splats and a political subtext, but most impressively, it successfully combines dread with the domestic...
Rob Daniel, Sky Movies
Gough can't disguise his third act monster's rubberiness, but it doesn't fatally wound his clever chiller that impresses up to its inevitably downbeat conclusion.
Wendy Ide, Times [UK]
It's a promising premise that soon gets stuck in a cul-de-sac.
Catherine Shoard, Guardian [UK]
The spectre of suburban domestic angst hangs heavy over Lawrence Gough's horror.

Horror thriller fails to be exceptional in the hoped for ways, but surprises by creating characters more interesting and worthwhile than you usually get in this sort of thing. Still, it can't help the film's central conceit work any better.
John M

Not as SALVAGE as its title claims but it is really a good low budget horror/thriller that delivers good acting, some tension in parts and some gory moments though I think it needed a better conclusion..
