One year ago, a young woman was brutally murdered in the woods near a small, rural community. The crime went unsolved. Now a naked teenage boy covered from head to toe in blood inexplicably turns up at the office of local Sheriff Jack Sheppard with a hunting knife in hand. The Sheriff and his officers presume the boy may be the killer they have been searching for and they incarcerate him while they investigate. To their horror, they find that the blood is from multiple human beings. Furthermore, strange supernatural happenings have begun to occur since the boys arrival. Sheriff Sheppard is forced to overcome his own personal demons and seek out the identity of the boy and of his potential victims. But his search leads him to an unexpected and horrifying discovery, and to bloody justice for the one who is truly responsible for the deaths.
Shallow Ground is a little known great among recent psychological horror/slasher flicks which blends horror, mystery and suspense. It stands as an example of how relatively low budget independent horror flicks can succeed at being much more than cheesy snore fests if done correctly.
