TL;DR: 3/4 self promotion of director Adam Green and his other works. 1/4 lazy adaptation of Clive Barker's "Nightbreed" This was a mess. The only saving grace of this movie is the amazing artwork/ creature design of the incredibly talented Alex Pardee. Oh and Ray Wise was pretty great. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make the film enjoyable. There is literally a montage of Green signing autographs... The beginning of the film is supposed to be meaningful. He gets lots of horror celebs to give a short testimonial about their love of the horror genre. But it is really just a montage of Green showing off his connections. This movie screams "Oh look at me! Aren't I cool? I have tons of fans and know lots of famous people." Half the movie is just Adam and friends wearing t-shirts from his movies surrounded by posters of his movies with a computer screensaver of his movies... Absolutely shameless. There are so many inconsistencies in tone because Green can't stick to the narrative and just has to keep shamelessly showing off and self-promoting. If he wanted to make an effective mockumentary, he should've cast other actors and left himself out of the spotlight. But he just couldn't help himself. This is a vanity project wearing the guise of a horror film. Adam Green has always seemed like a hack to me. This film further solidifies that feeling. He comes across as a self-important egomaniac. In interviews he always defends the plot holes and lazy filmmaking decisions of his movies with circular reasoning and 4th wall tapping. Dude, just because you make a self-deprecating joke about portions of your movie or personality, does NOT give you an excuse to keep using lazy scripts and have a sloppy attention to detail. What a waste of Ray Wise and Alex Pardee...

What an imaginative original concept! Thank YOU As someone who frequents conventions, both Comic Book, AND Horror/Haunt conventions, I was happy to see familiar faces as part of this movie. It lends to the legitimacy of the story. I wish Adam Green would read this, because he totally nailed it. I wish more writers and directors and producers had 'vision' and 'passion' to create something new, as opposed to remakes and rehashes of other peoples works and concepts. I love this documentary style film making, twisted into something out of nowhere. Great Job!!

A documentary exploring genre based monster art takes an odd turn when the filmmakers are contacted by a man (Ray Wise) who claims he can prove that monsters are indeed real. At first, the concept of a monster documentary is good and the first few minutes are really enjoyable. The footage of asking convention guests about monsters seems genuine, and it could have been a story worth pursuing if a narrative could be built around the interviews. But once we shift, it becomes obvious that casting Ray Wise is the biggest mistake. Rue Morgue said it (and then let it slide). Aaron Christensen came down hard on Adam Green for this. I am somewhere between the two. I think the concept is really clever, and my admiration for Green lets me be a bit more open-minded. But there really is no getting around it: Wise, who is incredible in this role, simply cannot be anyone other than Ray Wise in a "documentary". We also learn that Mick Garris is a terrible actor. That should probably come as no surprise, but it is amusing to see that Garris cannot even play Mick Garris for less than five minutes without goofing it up.

a documentary-style found footage film by the writer/director of Holliston and the Hatchet slasher series. i'd heard good things about the monster design and make-up, but wasn't very impressed. the monsters get only a few seconds a piece of shaky-camera screen time and are actually pretty cartoonishly goofy-looking if you pause on them the movie suffers a bit from the shaky camera syndrome typical of its genre — there's a point where the crew is sitting in the woods at night, waiting for a monster to appear, and when one of them points to a shape moving through the trees, the camera guy focuses literally everywhere but where the character is pointing. i can only imagine it was done on purpose to parody the genre style, and the actors were laughing about it behind the scenes the story is imaginative and compelling, and Ray Wise, as detective William Dekker who invites director Adam Green to witness and record proof of the existence of monsters, is a great actor and storyteller. my favourite scenes are the ones where Adam and the film crew are just sitting in Dekker's house, recording his stories of past encounters with and illustrations of monsters from a subterranean metropolis he calls The Marrow i like the film despite it's flaws and wouldn't mind a sequel picking up exploration, where this one ends rather abruptly, of The Marrow and its inhabitants. recommended for fans of found footage monster movies

-Digging Up The Marrow (2015) movie review: -This mockumentary follows a filmmaker who meets a man who claims he can prove 'monsters' exist. -I think mockumentaries are either more fun documentaries or more fun found footage films. Either way, Digging Up The Marrow kept me from sleeping, sooo. -The story is presents just like any of the shows about finding Bigfoot or whatever. So even though it may seem like a cliché film premise, it is presented in a way that seems like it is going to be the same as all the others. It kinda is, but it admits it is. -The pace was fine. I did not get bored. -None of the acting from the unknown cast was memorable or great, but I did not think anybody was bad. Especially having seen some of those monster quest shows. -There was not a lot of music, but whenever there was music, it almost broke the fourth wall because there should not be music in mockumentary/found footage films. -The practical effects in the film are impressive. And that was what the entire film was banking on, so I was not let down. The film also banks on a few pretty cliché jumpscares, but there are some unconventional scares that were effective. -My biggest beef with the movie is, and I won't spoil anything, the old guy's idea of the monsters. Basically this sorta-crazy Scooby-Doo villain claims that all monsters are made of social rejects and people who had birth defects and deformities. Basically he thinks there is a big underground society (called The Marrow) of them not. That premise really unsettles me. Because it is one thing to just have the idea of monsters, but it is another to have the idea of formerly deformed people underground. Makes it creepy to me, but not in a great way. -Digging Up The Marrow had a few things going against it, such as its overall cliché premise and unimpressive elements, but the film is successfully creepy and unsettling. I felt like this film had an amount of effectiveness to it, and therefore I will say that Digging Up The Marrow is worth watching on Nexflix. (Not worth paying for, but worth seeing.) -It holds a PG-13 rating for some scary images and some language. Nothing too heavy.

This movie or documentary or whatever you want to call it is genuine, plain garbage, and I am being very kind. Very, very kind. From the get go, Adam's behavior betrays the whole thing. Whatever is said or discussed, whether serious or supposedly funny, Adam (director??) has got a constant and extremely annoying grin stuck on his face. That takes away any semblance of credibility. This whole thing is most definitely not a documentary. It is simply someone trying to pass a home-made movie into a fancy thing which it is not. We were a group of about 12 people watching this thing and, without fail, gradually, every one started talking about other topics and no one continued to watch it. I am surprised that this thing is even listed on IMDb. I gave a rating of 1 star because there is lower rating available. What a disgrace when someone tries to pull the wool in front of your eyes and miserably fails. Too bad Ray Wise was in it. He must be biting his nails for accepting to appear in this home-made movie. A word of advice to Adam Greene "Don't quit your day job!"

Any easy 7/10. A worthwhile view into the life of a horror film director. In the film, Green pays homage to horror greats, the likes of Mick Garris(The Stand, Masters Of Horror), Tom Holland(Child's Play), Don Coscarelli(Phantasm) and Stanley Lloyd Kaufman(The Toxic Avenger). Also we have Kane Hodder who has played a lot of monster type roles for example he played Jason Vorhees in Friday the 13th Part VII, Jason X and Metalbeast in Project: Metalbeast and lastly Victor Crowley in the Hatchet films. Here Adam Green makes a documentary type film about a man who says he has determined the whereabouts of an underground society of monsters or mutants. The man William Dekker an retired private investigator, says he discovered the monsters accidentally, and from thereon, he developed a relationship or understanding between them. These monsters have spared Dekker's life under the condition that he reveals his secret to no one. He breaks this cardinal rule by telling Adam Green, who wants to capture one of these amazing creatures on film for the whole world to see. So one day, he and Dekker go by car to scout one of the locations where the creatures are to be seen. On the first occasion, Dekker spots a creature and immediately tells Green to look in that particular direction. However Green sees nothing. Later on, on a second attempt, they really capture a creature on film. He shows the footage to Kane Hodder. Hodder is skeptical an professes that it is just a normal person wearing special make-up. However Green does not agree, and wishes to further explore the creatures domain. Watch the film to find out what happens next!

There are many more out there, I can't name them all... Phew! Thank you for reading this review, may you live long and prosper. And good luck to you Adam Green, may you continue to make great films for us.

A rather fun and creepy as hell Indy horror film. Well acted with a really unique twist on the documentary/found-footage genre. I really enjoyed the intensity of the suspenseful moments because I absolutely had no idea what it was that might or might not be jumping out at me, or when. Captivating and definitely riveting at times -- it really was a fun ride that made my heart jump more than a few times. I've been a Ray Wise fan for a long time, and he really sells his performance in this movie. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but this film has some of the coolest and creepiest freakin' monsters I have seen in a long time! LOL I sooooo want to talk about the "balloon" scene, but I won't -- if you're a fan of this type of movie, you'll definitely enjoy it -- and it's also just the right length, so kudos to the film editor(s) -- job well-done.

Jesus! I was dumb to enough to watch this movie as of 25/3/15 cause it was 6/10 stars rated.What i didn't look into was the age of people that voted. Yeah all under 18. No i wasn't expecting that this movie was going to be something good, just something to watch and eat pizza, but now really, this is the WORST movie i 've ever watched. Boring boring boring..... Really boring..Nothing happens the first 60minutes, and then the last 30 minutes you see some not B not C but some D quality monsters appear. No its not the low budget, its the lack of creativity that destroyed this movie, and of course the director or talentless actor or writer or whatever he thinks he is. If you are going to watch it, just find the FF key on your controller.
