About This Movie

DUG has this intriguing blend of documentary and speculative storytelling, really pulls you in with its exploration of archaeology and the often overlooked narratives of looting. The pacing is quite meditative, almost dreamlike, as we journey through excavation sites with the archaeologist and his companion Petro. There's a palpable tension, balancing between the weight of lost history and the surreal notion of alien visitation. The practical effects, although minimal, help ground the film in a strange reality, making everything feel a bit more immediate. The performances have a rawness, which adds layers to their motivations—it's not just about digging up the past but grappling with what it means to reclaim history. Definitely a unique piece that lingers in the mind.
