The film's cast includes Ted Levine, Samantha Isler, Danny Goldring, and Troy Ruptash.

[2] In the 1940s, Deputy Waterhouse and Sheriff Proctor drive to a nearby quarry with two bodies stowed in their truck.

A boy at school named Willie Proctor, the grandson of the old sheriff, has a crush on her and draws her pictures, much to the disapproval of his grandfather.

A younger Sheriff Proctor witnesses the gypsy family, living on his property, engaging in strange rituals.

Back in the 1970s, Wyeth tells Waterhouse that he knows Jake is about to push Willie into the quarry, setting herself up for a lifetime of pain and regret.

Waterhouse then throws his lit cigar onto the alcohol-soaked floor which sets the cabin aflame, killing the brothers, Proctor, and himself in the process.

As they die, Waterhouse and Wyeth embrace each other as they once did when Proctor raped the mother, apparently forgiving each other in the process.

The intention was for it to provide a fundraising tool, but as director Hunter Adams admitted to I Am Entertainment Magazine, it chiefly "helped [him] clarify the visual and aural design of the film".

In 2013, the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP) selected the Dig Two Graves script as one of 20 in its Emerging Narrative Program.

During filming the IFP chose Dig Two Graves to participate in its annual Independent Filmmaker Labs.

Fishwick and associate producer Jon Parker, along with Adams, agreed that the area gave the film the visual look needed to maintain authenticity under a low-budget.

Doc Rotten[6] for Horror News - "Dig Two Graves is exquisite and captivating, a haunting and darkly beautiful tale of grief, sorrow and regret [...] Adams paints a dark thriller that splendidly unfolds with each discovery and tragic turn.

Ushering the film along is Ted Levine as the patriarch of the family and the leader of the quiet small town, his performance is nuanced and layered leaving the audience hanging on each gruff syllable.

"[7] Ian Sedensky for Culture Crypt - "Coldly captivating, but burning beautifully with an authentic Midwestern feel, cinematography is cleverly plotted without being unnecessarily creative... 'Dig Two Graves' is thought through as a cinematic story, where the medium subtly enhances the telling in virtually every sequence...'Dig Two Graves' is a rare genre drama that strays from sentimentality to deliver a suspenseful story executed with powered precision.

"[8] Florita A. for Hell Horror - "The movie is captivating with its dark, eerie fantasy storyline of grief.

"[9] Joseph Perry for Gruesome Magazine - "Eric Maddison's cinematography is engaging and sometimes deceptively simple.

He makes the quarry and surrounding woods feel almost like a character unto themselves, and he shows off striking underwater shots, as well.

The score by Brian Deming, Ryan Kattner, and Joseph Plummer subtly heightens the tension and perfectly sets different moods throughout.
