Salvage

Where do old soap opera sets go to die? Well, in the case of Brookside Close, it gets a grisly makeover by mysterious beasties escapees from a container ship, which invade the cul-de-sac, with machine-gun wielding special forces hot on their heels. Yet, despite the outlandish premise, the spectre of suburban domestic angst hangs heavy over Lawrence Gough's horror. Our heroine, Jodie (Linzey Cocker), has come home for Christmas only to find her estranged mum in bed with a stranger. Slanging matches result, replaced by screams and gurgles once the newcomers pay a visit.
