Review of In the Earth (2021) by Jamess — 11 Oct 2021
I know the past year and a half has been historically dire with massive death, lockdown, anxiety, paranoia, isolation, etc. on a global level. It seems Ben Wheatly took those themes and produced In The Earth as if reacting to a fever dream during lockdown.
The movie itself is a fever dream with creepy sound design, Ken Russell like hallucinations and moments of confusion and scenes of graphic physical pain. As the wide imbalance of critical versus audience response indicates, it's a movie that you can admire for it's WTFness, but at the same time most people will shake their head and wonder what they just saw.
Put me in the latter camp.
