Customer Reviews

simply awsome considering the budget
Shallow ground only cost 78,000 to make, but you couldnt tell just by watching it. all the effects, camera work, and acting are all far beyond what ive come to expect from straight to DVD horror.

It feels like a callback to classic horror, from the hundreds of gallons of blood, to the rural forest setting.

theres about 8 different storylines going on throughout the movie and you might lose track of some of the subplots as things go on. it might have been trying to say too much at times, but things always stay interesting. basically its the story of a backwoods slayer capturing and torturing those unfortunate enough to wander alone, but there are also strong super natural elements at work. to reveal to much about that here would ruin a lot of the fun to be had with the movie. ill just say it was all very well done (never cheesy or campy), although some of it could've been explained a little better.

this movie is full of interesting twists and great gore effects. the story kept me quessing till the end. everything was very well done, and considering the budget restraints, this is a HUGE achievement.

Bloody hell!!.......
This low budget straight to video horror film was quite intresting, it has an amazing and inventive storyline I don't think that I can complain about that. The plot at the begining was mysterious and the suspence was at an all time high, you just wanted to know what was going to happen next. The story begins when the staff and two policemen are ready to leave the small town police station when something disturbing happens, a naked teenage boy thats covered in blood enters the station, everybody is just curious about this boy but he doesn't seem to talk and their is also a missing persons report that seems to be conected to this boy. I won't say anything more as not to ruin the story but what you get with this film is alot of blood, gore and nudity and an original story which your not going to get from a hollywood horror film since they like to remake everything they can get in their greedy little hands. While Shallow ground is nothing ground breaking it was still good and I deffinently recomend this to fans of low budget horror.

DISTURBING TALE OF REVENGE
SHALLOW GROUND is an independent shocker heavy in atmospheric chills with a complex if ultimately confusing storyline. Featuring a rather talented cast of unknown actors (with the exception of Patty McCormack, best known for her role as the demonic child in the original BAD SEED), the movie accomplishes some frightening scenes in broad daylight, which is an accomplishment in itself, and some gory scenes of mutilation and terror. It ultimately is a tale of the dead getting revenge on a murderer who has been making people disappear, with some additional plotlines that somehow tie in. While the movie never totally explains itself, it does manage to offer some originality and some subtle horror in its delivery. Its ending is rather ambiguous and hurried, but SHALLOW GROUND is better than many of the horror movies we've been saturated with lately.
