The opening of the film is talking to various people at a horror con(s?) about why they like monsters. I think this takes away from the film. The feel of the segment doesn't match up with the rest of the film.
The acting is decent, again Adam Green doing a very good job of bring an unpleasant person. Ray Wise is also very good as the person who brings the story to Adam Green. Mostly the film is entertaining, but I found myself wanting the film to stop focusing on Adam Green's reactions to everything. While his character is played well, its too much of someone you're not meant to like. I do not want to say much because the premise is a man wants to prove there are monsters and anything I might say could indicate if it ends up being true, a hoax, a little of each, etc. Its worth at least one watch, I'd recommend it. $3.99 at www.vudu.com.

I agree with you Boss. It is worth a watch. I disagree with you on some points ( I thought Adam Green gave an awful performance) but I do think horror fans will enjoy the concept, as well as some of the creature designs. There were times Digging Up the Marrow looked like a "backyard filming with buddies project",but I suppose it was in many ways so that's forgivable. The story could have been stronger and certainly a bit more elaborate, but for the most part, yeah I'd say your 6 of 10 rating is pretty fair. I am a pretty big Adam Green fan so there is a chance that my thoughts are a little slanted, of course.
