Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Here's hoping Green's next film is just 90 minutes of Ray Wise talking to an imaginary friend. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 20, 2015 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Digging Up the Marrow is a playfully self-reflexive exercise whose endless in-jokes will best be appreciated by only the most ardent genre aficionados. Feb 19, 2015 Full Review Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club Much of Digging Up The Marrow plays like Green's love letter to his fans and to the importance of fandom in genre filmmaking. Rated: B- Feb 19, 2015 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Digging Up the Marrow has an insider's knowledge and delight in genre conventions, which he manages to simultaneously tweak and honor. Rated: B+ Dec 19, 2018 Full Review Patrick Bromley Daily Dead Digging Up the Marrow isn't just a terrific horror movie; it's a movie about why we are drawn to horror movies. Rated: 4/5 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Nathan Bartlebaugh The Film Stage More cheerfully spooky than legitimately scary, Marrow is an interesting use of the well-exhausted found footage subgenre. Rated: B- Feb 23, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Ricardo d Começa bem, e pensamos que será algo divertido sobre o que ocorre nos filmes de monstros. Mas dai vira uma bobagem, como se o Lucas Neto fizesse um documentário de terror e dissesse que era tudo real. O ponto alto é a participação de Tom Holland e seu texto. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review ryan b The story itself is a fun take on an old horror tale. Interesting monsters make for some cheap horror thrills. I'd welcome more stories about the Marrow. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Found footage is my absolute favorite subgenre so I was excited to find this film. It did what it was meant to do, it startled me a couple times, made me chuckle, make me wonder. But I was no fan of the creatures and it was a definite slow burn. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review jon c Adam Green loves horror movies and monsters He and his documentary team explore monster art created by very talented artists at conventions The man has also had success making several films and a tv show sitcom But now he wants to make the ultimate success by tracking down actual creatures that go bump in the night Adam and crew find a man, Dekker in the woods claiming they can get their fill of monsters An underground city called The Marrow lies beneath the surface of the earth A sort of metropolis that mirrors our own world full of children born different physically and repulsed by mainstream society Adam wants this to be legit but everyone else including several famous Hollywood filmmakers claim Dekker is a fraud It isn't until a hour and 11 min the monsters actually show up There needed to be less interviews and more frights involved A majority of this is all about disproving what is considered fiction The ending ends up being very underwhelming given what we were promised from the start Yes this explains why we love horror movies but you gotta deliver the actual horror involved when doing this style of filmmaking Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I made an account here just to tell you all not to bother, I have no idea how this film has any good rating whatsoever to be honest. Not only is it utter garbage, it's boring and you know who is so far up his own bum it's embarrassing to watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I find the idea original, unique and full of possibilities. It's such s refreshing movie in an overcrowded genre... They could make the same movie from the perspective of someone else trying to find out and meeting Adam after the incidents of the movie and it would be amazing! It would need a bit more of production 💰 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
