Trailer: 

In Digging Up the Marrow, director Adam Green takes audiences on a chilling journey where the boundaries between fiction and reality blur.

The film follows Green, himself, as he embarks on a documentary project about a man named William Dekker, who claims to have discovered a hidden world beneath the earth—an underground society of monstrous creatures known as “The Marrow.” Dekker, a reclusive artist, insists that these beings live in the dark caverns below us, and he’s determined to reveal their existence to the world.

As Green delves deeper into Dekker’s story, he finds himself questioning the man’s sanity. Are Dekker’s claims true, or is it just the mind of a disturbed individual crafting elaborate fantasies? What starts as a simple documentary soon spirals into a terrifying exploration of deception, obsession, and fear. As Green and his crew venture into the murky depths of Dekker’s world, they uncover disturbing secrets that lead them to confront their own fears—and a nightmare they could never have imagined.

With its unique blend of found footage and documentary style, Digging Up the Marrow keeps viewers on edge, skillfully playing with the tension of what is real and what isn’t. The film challenges the idea of monsters, presenting them not just as creatures to be feared, but as reflections of our own darker instincts. Full of suspense and eerie atmosphere, this unsettling tale will haunt you long after the credits roll.
