Critic Reviews

  • Matthew Turner, ViewLondon

    Provides a cast-iron example of that well-known movie maxim: Never Trust A Little Old Lady (at least not one that's played by Patty "The Bad Seed" McCormack).

  • Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena

    Os efeitos de maquiagem são ótimos, mas o roteiro estúpido a direção repleta de clichês de Sheldon Wilson só ficam acima das péssimas atuações de todo o elenco.

  • Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

    Sure, this is filmed like a standard B-movie thriller, but the plot keeps us guessing ... and it's creepy and unsettling enough to give us nightmares.

    Some of the things just didn't make any sense. Like what did the drug dealer had to do with the rest of the story? And what was that blue creature?

  • Barry L


    trange movie not without its moments but tame really.

  • Adam M


    Pretty cool horror film from a coupla years back.

  • Laurence C


    An illogical turd of a movie, Shallow Ground is a low-budget mess that can't decide if it's a fucked-up revenge thriller or a silly zombie movie, so it shoots aimlessly in between. The result? A silly, fucked-up zombie revenge thriller.
