When Echo never comes home, Ivy contacts the small town’s Detective Sanford (Bob Lane) and Detective Davide (Izzy Figueredo), who accept her intuition that her daughter is dead. Minskey (another Poser relative, Joan), a client wishing to contact her dead husband who Ivy’s been stringing along financially (‘That’s so c*nty, I like it,’ admires Echo). It’s snowing heavily and Echo is psyched for weekend hunting, aiming for ‘7 under 20,’ and some sledding that very night, but mom says no, she can’t keep night watch on the road as she’s got an appointment with Mrs. We first meet Ivy (Poser resembles Colleen Dewhurst crossed with Bonnie Bedelia and Melissa Leo) picking up Echo from school, mother clearly as rebellious as her Goth daughter. This is a stylish looking, well acted film that examines the strong bond between a mother and daughter both before and after death with plenty of creep factor for genre buffs. This is the fifth film created by the family’s Wonder Wheel Productions and if you haven’t heard of them before, if there’s any justice “The Deeper You Dig” should change that. It is quite astonishing to learn that this unconventional ghost/possession tale not only stars a mother, father and daughter in its three primary roles, but that it was also written and directed by Adams and Poser, shot by Adams and his daughter Zelda and edited and scored by Adams as well.
