After 13-year-old Jacqueline Mather (Samantha Isler) loses her brother in a mysterious drowning accident, she is soon visited by three moonshiners who offer to bring him back to life, but at a grim cost. As the dark history of her grandfather, Sheriff Waterhouse, is unearthed, the true intentions of the moonshiners come to light.

Hollywood Reporter

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.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

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.

Rated: 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.

Rated: 3.5/4

The Last Thing I See

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

Rated: B-

Third Coast Review

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.

Cinema Crazed

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

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.

Excellent movie. Very eerie and creepy without gore. Comes full circle, ties up all loose ends in a very satisfying way. I miss the days where you forget you're watching a movie until the end, and this is what happened for me. If you occasionally like a film that is eerie without gore or frights, this is a must see.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

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.

Plenty to admire regarding the craftsmanship of all involved but it's one of those stories that misleads the audience so much that it undercuts its own relevance.
