Review of Shallow Ground (2005) by Bob W — 23 Oct 2007
A plot summary by Claudio Carvalho on IMDB: "While preparing to shutdown a sheriff's station in the woods, the deputies Stuart Dempsey (Stan Kirsch) and Laura Russell (Lindsey Stoddart) are surprised by a naked teenager covered in blood and with a hunt knife in his hand. The boy is arrested and Sheriff Jack Sheppard (Timothy V. Murphy) is summoned by his assistant. While investigating the identity of the boy, Jack hopes to solve the disappearance of many people in the area, including his girlfriend. When the identity of the boy is disclosed, the mystery increases. ".
Horror may be the wrong genre for this film. Sure it has some killings and blood, but it's more of a mystery. I was never 'scared' nor 'horrified' during the movie, but I sure wanted to know what was going on and who was doing the killing. As an added bonus, this film has some supernatural undertones running throughout it. It's not a masterpiece and the acting is most definitely B level, but it is a movie well worth its rental fee.
