Shallow Ground

Shallow Ground (2005) is an American horror film from Sheldon Wilson that you can watch online on iFILM. One year after a local girl's murder goes unsolved, a naked teenage boy soaked in blood walks into a remote, half-shuttered sheriff's station.

Sheriff Jack Shepherd still carries the weight of that earlier case. The boy won't speak. The blood isn't his own. The harder Jack digs for the kid's identity and any other victims, the further he slips into something where the dead want the living to answer for old pain. Timothy V. Murphy leads as the haunted sheriff, with Lindsey Stoddart and Rocky Marquette as the silent, bloodied stranger.

This is a tight one-night, near-single-location creeper rather than a jump-scare factory — before sunrise, somebody pays. Good pick if you like grim supernatural mysteries that build dread instead of noise. Stream Shallow Ground (2005) online on iFILM.
