From that original idea, Salvage soon developed and it was decided to set the film within a cul-de-sac. “We loved the idea of the characters being contained, and of a mother trying to rescue her daughter,” adds Lawrence, who was intrigued by producer Julie Lau’s idea to set the horror within the former set used by TV soap, Brookside.

“I decided to pay a visit to the Close and started talking to the security guard who was looking after the empty properties. He put me in touch with the owner, and as the houses are all standing empty he was happy for us to use the set as our central location for Salvage,” explains Lawrence.
