Digging Up The Marrow
A documentary exploring genre based monster art takes an odd turn when the filmmakers are contacted by a man who claims he can prove that monsters are indeed real.

A meta-variation on Clive Barker's Nightbreed, Digging Up the Marrow tackles all the same questions [...] with considerably less grace and intelligence.

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.

Works as a dry comedy, a slow-burn campfire story, and as a clever look at our frustratingly one-sided relationship with the paranormal.

Much of Digging Up The Marrow plays like Green's love letter to his fans and to the importance of fandom in genre filmmaking.

Digging Up the Marrow is slight fun to be sure, but it is fun.

Perhaps Green's admirers will embrace his lead performance and insistence on boo scares, but the rest of this limp outing reeks of a missed opportunity.

Loses me in a haze of winks and Adam Green celebrating Adam Green.

Smart, witty and genuinely scary in places, Digging Up The Marrow delivers much more than you'd expect based on its knowingly cheesy premise.
February 23, 2016
More cheerfully spooky than legitimately scary, Marrow is an interesting use of the well-exhausted found footage subgenre.
