Best movie of this year hands down!

Better Late Then Never

A lot of fun.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I honestly want to punch the director in the throat for making this god awful piece of garbage. I LOVE creepy depraved extreme horror flicks and this was a pure waste of time. I was turned onto the movie after watching a documentary about snuff films and figured it would be decent. WOW was I wrong. It had everything it needed to be amazing minus the key part... HORROR. It was slow, boring and monotone. There was truly nothing about the movie that made me want to continue to watch it. The chapters gave away what was going to happen and it was left WIDE open from the get go. Sad I wasted time tracking the film down and making an evening of watching it. Thank god for A Serbian Film and the like.

Don't be swayed by the naysayers. This is a wonderfully spooky film. This was a thesis project for the writer/director , JT Petty. He did a great job of having me on the edge of my seat. I never really knew what to expect, and for a jaded horror-movie goer, this is Nirvana! The film concerns an elderly man who lives in a isolated log cabin in the woods. One day, while searching for his cat in the woods, he witnesses the murder of a child, or does he? He agonizes about this the rest of the film. What is most unusual about this film is that here is no dialogue until the last few scenes. I found this to be intriguing. The writer manages to get hold of your senses and gives them a relentless tug. Give this film a go, you won't be disappointed.

Take the low budget, settings, and direction of Evil Dead crossed with The Blair Witch Project and mix it with the theme and atmosphere of The Ring and you have Soft For Digging. Sounds promising, eh? Well, it is…but with some faults. Some will be turned off by the slow pace, others by the almost complete lack of dialogue. For me, neither of these things were major problems. The biggest complaint I had is that it wasn't quite as "scary" as it should've been. It's like right on the edge of being a truly frightening film but somehow fails to take the big plunge, at least for me. If you thought The Ring was scary, this flick will be right up your alley. Nonetheless though, I did find it rather enjoyable (if that's the right word) and like I said, being right up to the edge, it did provide me a few chills and effective scenes. Good, dark-humored ending too.

This is an excellent film and one should not be put off by its strangeness. There is genuine skill in manufacture of this work. It manages to be intrigiung, funny and frightening at various times. Work with it for the first few minutes and you won't be disappointed
