No, not the woods, nothing good ever happens in the woods..

In The Earth can be found in theaters now for probably one more week.

Martin Lowry, played by Joel Fry, leaves behind COVID quarantine to help with important scientific work in the woods. He will be working with his Ex, and she is studying forest rave science or something. Martin is led through the woods by Alma, played by Ellora Torchia, who is a capable young woman that side-eyes Martin’s lack of hiking skills.

Things don’t go well.

This movie had two speeds. Slow and measured, and Intense skull fucking. It has a lot going for it, Great acting performances, a unique story, and crazy hobos. I went in with no expectations, and was pleasantly surprised by an engaging, and entertaining Lovecraftian story.

It’s an interesting mix of Midsommar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and intense foot trauma.
