So it's finally here! The eerie and atmospheric trailer for Ben Wheatley's (Kill List) upcoming psychedelic eco-horror thriller In the Earth – which he directed during quarantine – has just sprouted online! And you can now watch it at the top of the article!
Here's the official synopsis:
As the world searches for a cure to a disastrous virus, a scientist and park scout venture deep in the forest for a routine equipment run. Through the night, their journey becomes a terrifying voyage through the heart of darkness, the forest coming to life around them.
While that synopsis sounds just like a more competent version of M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening, the trailer itself seems closer to the trippy phantasmagoria of Annihilation – which is definitely promising!
In the Earth – starring Joel Fry, Ellora Torchia, Reece Shearsmith, and Hayley Squires – will be spreading into theaters April 23rd!
So what do you guys think? Looking forward to another Wheatley joint? Either way, sound off below!
