Digging To Death is an indie film about one man's descent into madness.
Following a divorce, our main character David moves into a new house (a fixer upper if you will) we're introduced to his Daughter who is helping him move in and that's where we find out his daughter has health issues, David is up for a promotion and says he'll take care of her expensive medicine so she doesn't worry.
Within the first half an hour or so, we know he's under a lot of stress (he doesn't have the promotion in the bag and he's just found a buried dead body in his backyard with a huge sum of money next to the body).
The rest of the film plays out focusing on David losing his mind, but I think he was already going crazy and perhaps the divorce was the catalyst that broke him. He talks to himself in the mirror and his reflection answers back, he zones out (useful scene jumping to visualize this) but when he goes full on crazy, it feels out of place and almost comedically violent and awkward. Violent for violence's sake.
The body count starts piling up and anyone else who is in this movie is on the basement floor.
I'm assuming the main plot was money corrupts, power, sanity, relationships, everything. But this main character was going off the deep end too quickly for it to be the money, or seeing the dead guy every night.
I did enjoy the score and the cinematography, yes it's an indie film but it's done with real equipment, it doesn't look like a terrible phone quality film.
The way this film is paced just felt very off to me, awkward like. But that is just my opinion, feel free to check it out for yourself and see if you like it.
Digging to Death is out now on VOD platforms and DVD.
