In the Earth is a half-baked horror movie that seems to have a very timely premise, given the ongoing worldwide pandemic, but in the end leaves very little on the table.
I was a bit disappointed because the virus doesn't really feature at all, which means that it leaves you wondering why it was mentioned or used to begin with.
Sound and light are used to great effect to generate anxiety and engender fear.
Joel Fry and Ellora Torchia are also quite good in their roles.
THE BOTTOM LINE: In my opinion, the script needed a lot more work. Too many questions arise throughout the movie and go unanswered, and the finale also comes a bit unexpectedly. Frankly, I left the theater feeling cheated out of a better story.
Grade: 5.5
