BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Adrianna Fox This was.... OK even though it did seem like night breed by Clive barker. The acting I was surprised about, it was fairly good. I'm not normally the one to watch these "cam recorded" type films but this one actually did do justice in my books. It felt real.... Until the supposed "monsters" started to appear. The monsters kind of ruined it and I feel as though they could have done better with realism. I'm less inclined to believe the existence of a tentacle man with a potato sack over his head or.... A walking meatball that screams. I think this film is something that can only be watched once even though it is good for a cam film.
crdnlsyn13 What an imaginative original concept! Thank YOU As someone who frequents conventions, both Comic Book, AND Horror/Haunt conventions, I was happy to see familiar faces as part of this movie. It lends to the legitimacy of the story. I wish Adam Green would read this, because he totally nailed it.I wish more writers and directors and producers had 'vision' and 'passion' to create something new, as opposed to remakes and rehashes of other peoples works and concepts. I love this documentary style film making, twisted into something out of nowhere.Great Job!!
woodyrtw-1 good movie, even if it is a total ripoff from Clive Barkers Nightbreed, right down to some of the characters and names, Decker. With that said i did really enjoy the movie and hope he makes a follow up. Especially with the found film/first person camera horror has been so overdone ove the last 15 years or so. I've watched his other movies and was pretty disappointed overall, they are watchable but pretty unrealistic and again most of his characters and plots are blatantly stolen from other works and B lister both in acting and plot. But if you like the cheesy horror genre they are worth watching. It would be really great to see if he can come up with something completely original in the future.
quincytheodore Adam Green would probably better off making Hatcher 4 or actual documentary of his work. Digging Up The Marrow is an average found footage film with reliance of authenticity as film makers find an odd conspiracy theory. It gets a bit too meta with inside joke and backstage production, but there isn't much excitement since more than half of the content is simple bantering. What few scares it has are only half effective and numbingly too late.Plot involves a real production house, they are called by a strange old man claiming that he has seen another world filled with monsters. Adam Green and his colleagues investigate this story with generous amount of interviews and vague camera shots. Since it's a mockumentary, genuine reaction might contribute more, but as the story progresses the yelling and debating become stale incredibly fast. Script is more true to life, yet it's often too sporadic to form any suspense.The better part of the film is behind-the-scene features. It's nice to see more of the assembly parts of filmmaking, be that artistic design, editing process or a few nit bits from comic-con. Whereas the horror plot isn't that appealing or convincing in any way. Unfortunately, there is hefty amount of the playtime that's allocated for this horror tale which lacks real tension. There are a couple of good moments, but even those are expected gimmick other found footage films have already done, and ironically the film itself is aware of this.Camera work is not great, it predictably uses first person view or some manners of CCTV. The most agonizing part of this subgenre, shots in the dark and shaky cam are also presented here. Although some of the effects could build the atmosphere, but halfway point after hearing multiple banters the film becomes tedious.If it's a complicated way to show passion for the work, there has to be better ways to convey that message. A montage of authentic production from old films would be more fascinating than pseudo horror like this.
