In The Earth - 1/4

Ben Wheatley makes unique films usually, but this is so much like a pagan horror version of “A Field In England” that it amounts to nearly two hours of repetitive weirdness that never resolved itself.
The two leads deserved a lot better than they were given here, both of them performed with a quality that was thoroughly out of place in such a silly film. The two supporting actors were hamming it up so much that any ambiguity in their motivations held absolutely no interest to me.

This is an impressively bad film.
I think it was trying to be like “The Ritual” which was too recent and too good to be replicated or borrowed from so lazily.

British film makers do films about mysterious happenings in the woods a lot better than this usually.
This is officially the worst one.
