4.0 out of 5 stars less is more!, June 18, 2005

If you are here reading my review but haven't actually seen the movie yet...please take the plunge and buy it, rent it, or borrow it! This is a great movie for horror/suspense/mystery fans. The movie has a certain creepy atmosphere that money just can't buy. The concept is pretty simple and there isn't much new here (excluding the very end!) but the movie itself keeps the viewer interested.
'Soft For Digging' does what much more lavish and expensive films, with some exceptions, fail to do...keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you feeling satisfied.
The film does have it's less than stellar moments, but i would have to say that they are few and far between. most importantly, they don't take away from the overall uneasiness and almost unbearable tension which make up the fabric of the film.
Thumbs up and enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars I dig this, April 14, 2005

I am lucky enough to have seen this creepy, weird, almost-silent film before. Using strong images and heavy atmosphere, JT Petty creates a mystery that will keep you covering your eyes and wanting to keep watching.

Not your average horror movie, this one depends on what your imagination is capable of filling in alongside some pretty creepy images.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Patience required but rewards a subtle payoff, July 6, 2011

This review is from: Soft For Digging (DVD)

Sometimes, when scrolling through the endless wasteland of horror movies and refusing to sit through another tv-ready cast of teenagers snarking and shrieking at cliche-X, you take a gamble on something you've never heard of and get lucky. Sure, the whole film strains under its low-budget but this seems to be a case where the filmmakers chose to compensate for these shortcomings by focusing on pacing and a subtle narrative; I actually feel the film was at its weakest when mimicking some been-there done-that imagery. What you end up with is a creepy little story told with almost no dialog that centers around a *gasp* elderly man living alone in the woods.

Certainly, this isn't for everyone - Transformers and Hostel babies will no doubt be texting within minutes - but patient horror fans will find something to like here.
