As much a coming-of-age tale as it is a cautionary one, Adams' feature does a credible job building suspense, but never really delivers on the horror scares that early scenes telegraph.

3.5/4

Dig Two Graves makes some pretty nifty transitions from the 1940s to the 1970s, including one seemingly unbroken shot. Every trip to the past reveals something about the "present-day" journey.

3.5/4

An uncommonly smart, well-made and ultimately touching meditation on grief, revenge and the ordinary perils of adolescence that should resonate strongly with adults and thoughtful teenagers alike.

B-

Dig Two Graves is a solid horror joint full of atmospheric tension and enough peculiarities to set it apart.

It doesn't quite come together the way it it should to be looked at as a serviceable piece of low-grade creepy filmmaking or a worthy mystery. It's a close call, but it's not quite worth recommending outside of Levine's performance.

2.5/5

Dig Two Graves is one of those films that are not bad but not great either. It's not all that entertaining, but it's not actually boring. It's one of those films that are difficult to review as it falls pretty flat down the center of entertainment.

Strange and uneven tale of revenge and carma struggling to be told properly, though young Samantha Isler and legend Ted Levine make the total somewhat more interesting. Director, editor and sound engineer could all do a better job.

A mysterious tale of revenge, with a supernatural slant that has is flaws but on the whole is well made on it's limited budget.

Technically, the cinematography and shot framing are really good. Movie is lacking though.

The ending killed it for me. Basically what you saw was a rapist, murdering cop live a nice long life with narry a consequence for his actions. Oh but no. He confesses to his granddaughter that he felt guilty about it for all these years. Oh boo hoo hoo.
