Dig Two Graves

Interesting story that keeps pulling you in as the movie goes on. Starts out a psycho horror movie and ends up a tragedy

A unique and provocative thriller about rising above the sins of the past, it's slightly heightened yet familiar, like a surreal nightmare. Imagine the otherworldly evil of The Witch thrown into the realistic American heart of It, but without any of the blatant horror of either. Even with the unwieldy storytelling, it's a beautifully gothic and creepy indie, hiding within the bowels of Netflix like a deep dark secret in a family tree.

I've seen it advertised on Netflix but never watched it until now. I've seen so many bad movies and I never heard of it, so I didn't want to watch another stinker. I was pleasantly surprised. It had two stories in one that blended nicely together at the end. It was different and after all I've seen, I can appreciate that. Give it shot, you may just enjoy it!

Dig Two Graves. Another awesome Netflix find!! Takes place in the 70s in a small town, kinda on the hillbilly-ish side... And there is a girl named Jake that loses her brother to a freaky accident, so she is quite devastated. But luckily one night on the way home on a dirt road through the middle of the woods shes confronted by three men, who look like they make love to sheep. However, they say to her that they know how to bring her brother back from the dead, all ya gotta do is bring someone down to take his place. Freaky right... Freakier still is the whole backstory thats played out dating back to the 1940s when her grandpa was a young sheriff and just may or may not have covered up a few crimes back in the day. It really was a cool flick... Grandpa is played by Ted Levine, it rubs the lotion on its skin baby! Great storytelling and nice and dark!! Do it!

I will give the makers of "Dig Two Graves" some credit where credit is due. First of all, despite having a real low budget, the movie does look very decent; the movie looks technically sound, and has some striking images every so often. Second, while you may think you're able to guess how the movie plays out from its plot description, the movie does surprise by going down a much different path. Unfortunately, in the end I probably would have preferred had the movie gone down the most expected path, even though there have been many movies before it that have gone down the same path. Although the movie only runs 84 minutes long, it plays out in an extremely slow manner, and for the first two-thirds constantly spins its wheels with very little to nothing of consequence happening. Another problem is that there are some head-scratching plot points that are ultimately not answered in a satisfactory manner, or simply not given any effort in answering at all. In the end, the movie is too unsatisfying to recommend, despite it being obvious that the filmmakers were trying for something different than usual. Maybe next time...
