Cast

Production

Thrasher was inspired to create something like What We Do in the Shadows. She said the film took four years to make, with pre-production and principal photography in 2019 and wrapping post-production in 2020. The film was shot in San Diego mockumentary style and was crowdfunded on Indiegogo.[1]

Release

Things We Dig premiered at Screamfest Horror Film Festival on October 14, 2020. The festival later distributed the film on YouTube. The film screened at Horror Haus in 2020, Ax Wound Film Festival in 2021[2] and San Diego International Film Festival in 2022.[3]

Reception

Emilie Black at Cinema Crazed said how the good casting helps create magic with only a few minutes of screen time. Ben Ragunton at TG Geeks said the production value was rich and is worth watching with a glass of wine. Berlyn Nikolunauer at Morbidly Beautiful said the film was "a playful kind of silly." They all compared the film to What We Do in the Shadows.[4] [5]
