In the Earth - Comentarios

Sinister and hilarious, psychedelic yet grounded, absurdist while still grippin...

It's ominous, brutal, pretentious, and often stirring.

...brings us back to Wheatley’s classic world of occult loopy weirdness and cult Britmovie seediness...

...impressively detailed sound design and Nick Gillespie’s transporting cinematography help to lift us out of our living rooms...

...proves there’s mileage in pandemic stories beyond viral infection and Zoom calls.

Writer-director Ben Wheatley takes an almost sadistic pleasure in setting up and showing, in excruciating detail, the gory injuries and gorier “treatments”...

It’s a visceral experience...

Wheatley har en unik sans for detaljerne og forståelse for den folk-horror-genre, som har hæderkronede traditioner, der rækker langt tilbage i britisk filmhistorie.

...an outrageously good folk-horror freak-out for the Covid age.

...a welcome dose of mind-bending weirdness from Wheatley and suggests that he works best when directing from his own material and working with a local cast.

...could easily become a late-night cult film that rewards repeat viewings.

...cuts deeply into nightmarish territory that's both alien and sadly familiar, and it broaches topical themes without being preachy or intellectual.

Ben Wheatley's fun, gnarly, and resourceful micro-budget pandemic movie redefines what it means to commune with nature.
