After more than a year of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic keeping many of us trapped indoors for most of the time, director Ben Wheatley offers viewers a chance to engage with the natural world with In The Earth. Trouble is, the natural world engages right back and reminds us that there are forces out there that we can’t control or understand, no matter our motives. While clearly more focused on providing a visceral experience than an emotional one, Wheatley’s return to horror is a Kubrickian descent into madness that gets progressively more engrossing as it builds towards its bonkers finale.
Appropriately, In the Earth is itself set during a pandemic that has taken a similar (probably worse) toll on the global population. Smartly, though, In the Earth doesn’t become bogged down in specifics, instead respecting that the viewer will bring their personal experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic to the table to fill in any blanks. Researcher Martin Lowery (Joel Fry) arrives at a national park to re-establish contact with his missing colleague, Olivia Wendle (Hayley Squires), who’s supposed to be out in the forest investigating the land’s uncommonly fertile soil. Park Ranger Alma (Ellora Torchia) accompanies Martin, and once the two set out after Olivia, the pandemic setting fades from text into more of a thematic framework for the movie to operate within.
In the Earth is an oppressive, bizarre trip of sight, sound, and spore-induced psychedelia. Director Ben Wheatley sometimes sacrifices characterization for the loftier ideas about nature he wants to explore but given how innately the audience should understand how one would be affected by a pandemic, it’s a gambit that mostly pays off as the film’s...
