Please read this review only after you have watched the movie.In Salvage we met Claire, a teen who lives in a small city with her mom and works as a clerk at a local supermarket. She begins to have dreams in witch she is brutally murdered by a stranger who came to pick her up from work one day instead of her boyfriend. Now she must find out why is this happening to her and discover who is the mysterious man that appears in her visions.As you can see I didn't talk too much about the topic because is so strange and is hard to discuss about it. In the beginning when I've seen Claire beaten up I thought that I will see what is going to happen next but the big surprise was that in reality nothing happened. Then these visions reappear and vanishes again and so on. I must say that the film is unique in it's own bizarre way. The horror scenes are few but scary and gory. This movie is going to be hard to understand even for a fan of mystery genre. I truly did not get it, after all was it about multiple personality? Or body transportation? Leaves you with a lot of questions in your mind. From a horror/thriller in the end got a bit SF but clearly the type of movie that you will not forget too soon.

One of the worst films I have ever seen. Got so bored that I switched it off midway through to watch the news. When I switched it back on, I fell asleep. The film starts with a dream, continues with a dream, and ends with a dream. Then there are a few more dreams in between. Come on, what is supposed to keep me interested in that? A film needs to have a reason to be interesting. The minute you felt the film was only a dream is when any sensible film-goer switches off. Ever had someone insist on telling you their dreams and what it means to them? This is it!!!Absolutely awful.

Salvage is one of those wonderful surprises that you get when you're a fan of the genre. The film takes several familiar themes, moves along briskly and creepily, and winds up in a very surprising place, and low budget horror seldom surprises me anymore, so good job! It suffers from some typical slasher issues -- the heroine is attractive and likable but she is saddled with an obnoxious boyfriend, some "Hardy Boys Style" investigation that would never happen... but in general this film just plain works. Every time you think you've figured out what is happening and start to "settle in," there is a twist in the road, the leads actors Chris Ferry and Lauren Currie Lewis (who is as hot as the spicy dish that bears her name!) are fine, and overall, I can definitely recommend you check out "Salvage" if you get a chance.

I'm not usually that impressed by independent films because I like my movies glossy and slick but this one stands out because everything takes place against a background of mundane normality. No glamorous instantly recognisable stars or exotic locations in this movie. The cast all look like the guy/gal next door and the locations are authentic small town USA which in itself is like another world to us British viewers. Lauren Currie Lewis is completely believable as Claire the girl who dies again and again in her personal horror groundhog day and despite the clue earlier on I didn't see the twist coming at all. Didn't think much of the actors portraying the cops though, they let down the hard work done by the three main players and the scene in the service station was obviously inspired by Switchblade Romance but overall well done guys, great job - 8/10
