I watched this film at a film festival recently, and I have to say I was actually rather impressed. The idea was somewhat original, and while it may have not been pulled off in the best way, the film was still nicely done compared to many other slasher/thriller movies that are all cheap thrills and excessive gore, of which this film has little. Another thing I love about this picture is that its a horror/thriller movie... filmed almost entirely in daylight. I know of many slasher movies that make it a point to make the setting dark, and they can't pull off what this film managed to accomplish, if only a percentage of the time. This film, for the budget it was filmed on, and the fact that most of the actors were non-professionals, impresses me deeply
As far as the acting goes, I feel that the leads, outside of the boyfriend have great potential. Ashley Curry-Lewis was fun to watch through most of the film, and Chris Ferry, despite having his voice played with.. was interesting as Duke. Of the three main characters, only the actor who played Jimmy failed to make an impact on me.
Overall, for what it is, Salvage is a nice little film if you are a fan of the genre.. Yes, it has its plot holes, and its rough spots, but I feel overall, this is a gem of a film in its own right.
