Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Ben Wheatley said the soundtrack was partially created using plants.
- GoofsWhen, at the beginning, he learns that a previous team has gone missing, the main character asks if they have tried "GPRS". This is the technology behind text and phone calls. Presumably he meant "GPS", the technology for locating things.
A lack of phone signal (GPRS) being the reason for a previous group getting lost discussed by the characters is an odd assertion. If GPS was meant, it requires no phone signal, just a satellite signal unencumbered by reflections or interference, and therefore would be able to give a precise location in the setting of the film. It is feasible that there would be no GPRS (2G cellular data signal) in such a remote location, but that would not affect being able to get a location.

Featured review
There was just nothing worthwhile here...
When I read the synopsis for this 2021 movie, I have to admit that I was intrigued and the plot sounded interesting. And with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I found the time to sit down to watch writer and director's Ben Wheatley movie.
Well, I managed to suffer through just under one hour of the ordeal that is otherwise known as "In the Earth", then I just threw the towel into the ring and gave up. This movie was so unfathomably boring and pointless. And I have to say that you have to forget everything you read in the synopsis, because it plays absolutely no real part in the actual movie.
The events that took place through the hour that I suffered through just had nothing to offer in terms of entertainment, and needless to say that the storyline was just so abysmal and boring that no matter what transpired on the screen it just wasn't sufficient to alleviate for the shortcomings of the movie.
The plot was boring and pointless, and so were the characters. Sure, they had gotten some good actors and actresses for the movie, but the error here was that the performers had nothing solid to work with in terms of script and characters. Reece Shearsmith - playing Zach - really carried the movie with his performance, though he could only do so much to salvage the train wreck that is "In the Earth".
Visually then "In the Earth" is a strange movie, and I assume that if you are high on mushrooms or some kind of psychedelics' then you will probably enjoy the odd visuals that permeate the movie. But if you sit down to watch a proper horror movie, then "In the Earth" was just a massive swing and a miss.
Even with having watched an hour of this movie, I sat there with a feeling of 'is this really it?' and 'what a waste of my time this was' as I got up to end the torment.
This is definitely not a movie that I will recommend you waste your time, money or effort on. Some of us suffered through this ordeal in full or parts so you don't have to.
My rating of the 2021 movie "In the Earth" lands on a massively disappointing three out of ten stars.
