Digging Up the Marrow (2015)

Any easy 7/10. A worthwhile view into the life of a horror film director. In the film, Green pays homage to horror greats, the likes of Mick Garris(The Stand, Masters Of Horror), Tom Holland(Child's Play), Don Coscarelli(Phantasm) and Stanley Lloyd Kaufman(The Toxic Avenger). Also we have Kane Hodder who has played a lot of monster type roles for example he played Jason Vorhees in Friday the 13th Part VII, Jason X and Metalbeast in Project: Metalbeast and lastly Victor Crowley in the Hatchet films.Here Adam Green makes a documentary type film about a man who says he has determined the whereabouts of an underground society of monsters or mutants. The man William Dekker an retired private investigator, says he discovered the monsters accidentally, and from thereon, he developed a relationship or understanding between them. These monsters have spared Dekker's life under the condition that he reveals his secret to no one.He breaks this cardinal rule by telling Adam Green, who wants to capture one of these amazing creatures on film for the whole world to see. So one day, he and Dekker go by car to scout one of the locations where the creatures are to be seen. On the first occasion, Dekker spots a creature and immediately tells Green to look in that particular direction. However Green sees nothing. Later on, on a second attempt, they really capture a creature on film.He shows the footage to Kane Hodder. Hodder is skeptical an professes that it is just a normal person wearing special make-up. However Green does not agree, and wishes to further explore the creatures domain.Watch the film to find out what happens next!

I'm a little torn on this one. On one hand it's very well made, everything looks very authentic. Well, except from the fact that one very important role is filled by a rather well known actor. Because you see: this is made like a documentary (mocumentary if you will), and it is very well made. It is pretty believable and "realistic"-looking. Alright, you get that this is a scripted movie, but you sort of forget it from time to time, too. So good job on that, movie!I didn't find it scary, and there are not that many parts that are meant to be scary either. But I would still have liked a little more horror. As a matter of fact, the parts where stuff goes down, I think they could have been a lot better. Seems kind of random.Most of the cast plays themselves, and they do an overall good job. To sum up: nothing great, but a pretty easy watch.

Jesus! I was dumb to enough to watch this movie as of 25/3/15 cause it was 6/10 stars rated.What i didn't look into was the age of people that voted. Yeah all under 18. No i wasn't expecting that this movie was going to be something good, just something to watch and eat pizza, but now really, this is the WORST movie i 've ever watched. Boring boring boring..... Really boring..Nothing happens the first 60minutes, and then the last 30 minutes you see some not B not C but some D quality monsters appear. No its not the low budget, its the lack of creativity that destroyed this movie, and of course the director or talentless actor or writer or whatever he thinks he is. If you are going to watch it, just find the FF key on your controller.

Horror is my favorite genre of movies, unfortunately for me, because there really just aren't that many good, watchable, horror movies produced and released - by watchable, I mean it holds your attention enough you WANT to see what happens, and you're not just watching it because you don't want to turn it off (which I've done, a lot) halfway through because it sucks so bad it just isn't entertainment, it's torture. (An idea for a horror movie maybe?Torture as in strapped to a chair and made to watch horrible horror movies with your eyelids taped open) This held my interestenough to watch it straight through, mostly because certain scenes had great potential, but it was never realized. There isn't any gore, but there really is a creep factor - the "Monster Hunter" comes off at first as an eccentric man, perhaps a bit (well, a lot) fixated on the subject - the 2 guys who are making the film are believable, and play themselveswell. The idea behind it is kind of cool, but there just aren't enough scenes (none, really) that will make you jump out of your chair, leave the lights on when you go to bed, or make the hair rise on the back of your neck. It's a watchable movie, certainly worth the $2.99 rental on Amazon, but not good enough to see in a theater. The ending of the movie had some good potential, but, it ends with lots of unresolved questions. Bottom line: Unambitious, had a lot of unrealized potential, but it still entertaining. Don't rent it expecting to be totally freaked out - it just really isn't that kind of movie, but interesting enough to sit through. The film makers give the impression that they couldn't decide how to end it, and as a result, it had potential to be great ending, but they just didn't flesh it out enough. I like indie horror movies - some are awesome - WER, an indie flick, was one of the best werewolf movies I've seen in recent years for example, but this just is middle of the road.
