in my opinion shallow ground was a low buget mediocre film that seems to try way to hard to impress audiences,also by calling this independent film a horror movie, psychological maybe. Splashing buckets of blood on the floor and on a naked boy who walks throughout the entire film with creepy crawling bugs DOES NOT MAKE IT A HORROR MOVIE . 45 mins into this film i seemed to have lost a bit of interestsbut i was hoping for a tragic ending or even something out of the ordinary but sadly i was not impressed. The movie doesnt seem to go anywhere but under ground. 97 mins was long enough some of the acting was below standard acting and the story line itself had potential but failed by not giving a full detail ending. worth a rent but do not expect much at all
