The Quarry

About This Movie

The Quarry has this gritty, raw feel that kind of pulls you in. Shot on location in Knoxville, it's a found footage horror that nails that unsettling atmosphere. The pacing might feel slow to some, but it builds tension really well. The performances are surprisingly authentic for a low-budget flick; these college student characters are relatable, which makes their predicament feel more alarming. The practical effects are modest but effective, enhancing the realism of their terror. There’s something about the mundane setting of a quarry that just heightens the eeriness. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s definitely got character and a sense of genuine dread that lingers.

Released on DVD in 2012 with a limited run · Shot in Knoxville, TN, primarily on location · Uses practical effects for most of the horror elements
