Plot:
Patrick and his wife Karen Connor are hired by the state to exhume bodies resting under a closed down reform school known for the sadistic torture and murder of young boys in the early 1900s. During this horrific excavation, they are met with unnatural forces causing them to question their sanity and will to live…
Reviews:
“Exhume is nicely-characterised (the unhappy family feel real) and has its effective creepy moments, but doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. The mystery unfolds effectively for the audience – and the main characters – but only because the information which ought to be common knowledge to all the locals […] is artificially withheld so there can be shock reveals later on.” The Kim Newman Web Site
“It doesn’t waste its time with explanations for stuff that needs to remain unexplained to be creepy, it doesn’t make its backstories too elaborate to rob them of their mystery, and it relies on atmosphere (in conjunction with its rather great locations) and strong performances rather than pure and mindless spectacle.” Search My Trash
