The Deeper You Dig may be a small production, but everything in it feels aspirational, so much bigger and heartfelt and horrifying than can be expected.

The Blue Lenses

The Deeper You Dig is both beautifully but simply made, and a poignant, deeply affecting film that uses a supernatural tale to articulate the almost unspeakable complexities of how mothers can connect to their children.

Rue Morgue Magazine

A haunting, micro-budget family affair that’s rich with subtext and meta-cinematic flavor, (...) one of the best independent horror efforts of the past few years.

Flickering Myth

Despite the sluggish pace and messy storytelling The Deeper You Dig does show that its creators have a knack for creating strong visuals, but their lofty ambitions ultimately outweigh what their budget and storytelling limitations can provide.

I understand that it is a low budget movie, but the acting, the monologue is terrible, good plot.

Ok but again, coming from a less than confident psyche.

Best watched on a mix of thc and psilocybin... the imagery and sountrack may be too abstract for a reality oriented mindset. I loved it

Better than expected. I thought it would be another high rated miss but it wasn’t. No bells and whistles, just a decent storyline done well. Worth the watch.

A plot that doesn't hold up in a universe that doesn't make sense. I'm all for a supernatural undertone to a movie but when none of the characters have any on screen charisma and the director relies heavily on jump scares and bad lighting to cause the tension release it's just not going to work. Obfuscating the plot with whatever the second half of the movie was also didn't do the film any favors. I feel if the director had more of a budget some of the weird lighting and effects choices might have been avoided. Also just a better cast. The killer and the daughter were great but the rest had either no direction or were poorly directed.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
