Salvage - 2009 * * *



This was a surprisingly good effort from British film-makers. And what amde it good was the reality. At the beginning we see a moody teenage begrudgingly being taken by her dad to spend Christmas with her mother. About 15 minutes later all hell breaks loose.

The whole 'this could reall happen' element is present the whole time and that is what makes it even more disturbing. Plus the acting is really very good. I love films where the director hasn't chosen idiotically beautiful people with no acting ability and gone on talent instead. This certainly isn't the case here. There are some genuinely scary parts in this. Very relevant to today's events.
