Check out what happened in Digging Up the Marrow!
As filmmaker Adam Green sets out to explore the world of monster art, he receives an unexpected phone call from retired detective William Dekker, claiming to possess irrefutable proof of the existence of these mythical creatures. While his wife remains skeptical, Green is compelled to rework his documentary, focusing on Dekker's claims and his quest to expose the hidden lair known as "The Marrow". During a series of interviews at Dekker's residence, the former detective reveals a wealth of knowledge about the monsters he has encountered, sharing sketchbook renderings that illustrate his encounters. Though Dekker's tales are riveting, he seems evasive when discussing his son, swiftly diverting attention to other matters. Green and his cameraman accompany Dekker to the Marrow, an ominous dig site in a secluded woods, where they set up camp to capture evidence of these elusive beings.
Initially, their endeavors yield nothing but darkness and silence, prompting Dekker's assertions that he can perceive one of the monsters lurking just out of sight. However, on their second night at the Marrow, they finally manage to capture fleeting footage of a monstrous entity, though its authenticity is immediately called into question due to suspicions of Dekker's potential involvement in a hoax.
Undeterred, Green and his team refine their equipment, deploying five cameras and lights to capture irrefutable evidence. However, one of these cameras, designated Camera-2, goes missing, fueling speculation about the true nature of their findings. As they review the remaining footage, it becomes clear that Dekker has been secretly visiting the Marrow, interacting with or even feeding some of the creatures. Though the visuals are grainy and unclear, Green's team is left grappling with the possibility that these monsters may indeed be real.
Meanwhile, Green discovers that Dekker has approached other filmmakers with his story, leading him to suspect that this retired detective might be hiding something more significant than just a simple hoax. As he delves deeper into Dekker's past, Green becomes increasingly suspicious of his motives. The tension culminates in a fateful night when Green and his cameraman confront the monsters at the Marrow, only to find themselves violently attacked. They manage to escape in their car, but not before Dekker arrives on the scene, further clouding the truth.
In the aftermath of this harrowing experience, Green and his cameraman return to Dekker's abandoned home, only to uncover a disturbing discovery: a room filled with broken chains, hinting that one of these monsters was once trapped there. The implication is clear: Dekker may believe that one of these creatures is actually his long-lost son, whom he has been attempting to rescue.
The film concludes with footage from Camera-2, revealing a monster holding Dekker captive in a cage, its malevolent gaze fixated on Green as it invades the filmmaker's home.
