Um Espírito Presente

At least show some original thought. As for the movie: good plot, good acting, great cinematography, all on a low budget. It's not a barn-burner and don't expect it to jump-scare you. It is horror I suppose, but it could also be considered psychological thriller. All in all, a very watchable movie.

I am not an Indie fan... really. All too often just being amateur and low budget is used to give a movie a pass, and I don't agree with that logic. All too often being Indie just means bad and getting praised despite it, but every so often... well, when you have talent, and vision, you can make a good (or even great) movie on a shoestring.

I am also not generous with praise, so when I give this movie a 7 that is high praise in my books... especially considering the budget and limited experience involved. The Deeper You Dig isn't perfect, but it is solid. Solid (and at times even elevated) acting, effective and quite professional cinematography, editing, and directing, effective score and professional sound, and a genuine script that has vision and is believably compelling. The works.

That said, I will not guarantee it will be a movie for every person. It has a supernatural element that I found welcome but which was handled a bit crudely, and this alone will likely put some people off. It was in fact the reason I didn't give the movie an 8... and I even considered giving it a 6 (which is still a good movie in my judgement). Also, it really is more of a drama about loss and mourning, guilt, will, love, faith, and other elements, than it is a horror, so people who tune in to see explicit horror will likely find it unfulfilling. But IF you want a well made dramatic horror which is both sincere and has heart, AND is competently crafted on a budget, then I strongly recommend The Deeper You Dig.

Slow burner.

Well executed.

Some gore but few .

Im really impressed by Hellbenders , the recent movie from the same family of actor/director/cineast.

Recommended, require patience.

Family business - I watched this at a screening at Frightfest and the three main characters involved in this were attending. They are also a family and they really have a knack for making movies. It's father, mother and daughter and the movie might strain their relationship, but it doesn't show in life, they really were cheerful and joyful.

The movie is the opposite and is quite dark. It is also very low budget, so you have to wrap your head around that. If you can, there is an underground/B-movie to discover here, with quite the supernatural touch attached to it ... Slow burning and really well made

Decent acting come on it's a low budget horror movie it's not Shakespeare!! The acting was sufficient the story was excellent and it had some gore and some mystery. I liked it and will watch it again, I was especially impressed when I read it's written, directed, starred and even filmed by the same people, that's talent my friends!!!
