Slow-churning, immersive horror. - The Deeper You Dig review by NP
The Adams Family (just the one 'D') strikes again. Everything we see here is what they have created - as Zelda Adams has said in interviews, one minute they're deciding what groceries to buy, the next, they're planning on shooting another scene for their latest melancholy horror project.
The results are highly individual and absolutely have no need for a higher budget. Unsettling atmospherics are bled from the weather and locations, all shot in the most immersive way - directed, naturally, by Zelda, John Adams and Toby Poser.
This won't be to everyone's tastes. Even I have to admit I felt things drag a little (perhaps pruning ten minutes from the running time would have helped), but ultimately, I had a wonderful time with this story, which flirts with possession, reincarnation, losing one's mind and life beyond death. The acting is great, but so is the cold, uncompromising small-town location.
I liked that nothing is over-explained. I like that there is no real closure, just the suggestion of a continuation of events, and the irony of the fate of the antagonist. It's not happy, but it's not quite sad either - just strange and unnerving. My score is 9 out of 10.
