Simmer down Tommy Merlyn (Colin O'donnell) conspiracy theorist. The character in question is Diggle's (David Ramsey) brother, Andy (played by Eugene Byrd). Diggle recently learned from Det. Lance (Paul Blackthorne) that his brother was not the stand up guy he thought he was and that's something he'll struggle to come to terms with as the season progresses. Speaking to EW,Arrow showrunner Wendie Mericle stated, "Diggle’s really dealing with the grief and sense of loss. He’s grieving two losses, really — the idea of who his brother was and confirmation of why his brother was murdered. The truth is, he knows that his brother was involved in this bad, shady stuff, but he doesn’t know how or when or why. He doesn’t know Andy’s point of view. He’s never heard Andy’s side of the story.We’ll definitely be seeing Andy coming up in...

With his debut feature film, the Brit horror Salvage (review here), landing in UK theatres and homes in a number of formats this week, director Lawrence Gough took some time to talk with Dread Central about the creation of the film and where he's headed next.
Gareth Jones: Salvage was produced as part of the Liverpool "City of Culture" award/presentation. How did that work as far as pitching the movie and eventually getting it made?
Lawrence Gough: The money came about through BBC Films and the UK Film Council and was tagged onto [the "City of Culture" program]. [Myself and writer Colin O'Donnell] were working on a feature at that time after making various shorts and trying to adapt one into a feature; then this money was kind of dangled as something that could be applied for – and they were looking for certain types of projects that would fit a budget, and we felt that what we were working on did,...

Lawrence Gough won this year's emerging-talent Trailblazer Award at the Edinburgh Film Festival for his paranoid horror Salvage. And it's stood him in very good stead, since his next project, The Drought, is being fast-tracked into production.Yes indeed, readers, it's our second apocalypse-movie story of the morning. John Hillcoat and Roland Emmerich have a lot to answer for. Armageddon is the new black. Nobody is mentioning Jg Ballard, whose novel The Drought, originally published in 1964 as The Burning World (a counterpoint / companion piece to his The Drowned World), sees the Earth's population heading seaward after man-made ecological disaster causes the world to run dry of precious H20.Gough's version, written by Colin O'Donnell, who also wrote Salvage, has a similar basic premise, but apparently revolves around a couple and their child heading searching for water in London.London? Why London? Do the taps still work there? Have New Labour...

"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'.
