The Deeper You Dig

Synopsis via Letterboxd:

LOVE WON’T STAY BURIED.

14-year old Echo and her mother Ivy, a tarot card reader, live a quiet life in a rural area. When reclusive Kurt moves down the road to restore an abandoned farmhouse, an accident leads to Echo’s murder, and suddenly three lives collide in mysterious and wicked ways. Kurt assumes he can hide his secret under the ground. But Echo burrows into his head until he can feel her in his bones. As she haunts his every move, trying to reach her mother from beyond, Ivy must dig deep to see the signs and prove that love won’t stay buried.

 

Hellbender’s been on our watch list for a long time and with the release of Mother of Flies, I started learning about the filmmakers. So this was my first stop on the Adams family train and I’m definitely staying on board. The Deeper You Dig is beautifully filmed and all around well made. I’m definitely stoked for the rest of their filmography.
