So, 'In the Earth' is really something. Ben Wheatley crafts this atmospheric horror that digs into themes of isolation and humanity’s connection to nature, or maybe its disconnection. The whole vibe feels claustrophobic and unsettling, with the oppressive sounds of the forest really enhancing that creepy tone. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, which ramps up the tension. Practical effects play a significant role here, grounding the surreal elements in a reality that feels a bit too close to home given the pandemic backdrop. The performances, especially from the leads, are raw and visceral, adding layers to their desperate situation. It’s not just about survival; it’s a descent into madness, which Wheatley really nails. Worth a look if you're into thought-provoking horror.
