Ben Wheatley, in his earlier career, was known for making thrillingly nasty indie horrors and this film sees him going back to his roots. His early films include the cult horror classic ‘Kill List’, the excellent dark comedy horror ‘Sightseers,’ and the psychedelic folk horror ‘A Field In England.’ Most recently, Ben Wheatley has come away from the genre to direct the action-comedy film ‘Free Fire’ and the mystery romance film ‘Rebecca’ for Netflix. With his new horror film ‘In The Earth,’ which was shot during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, we hope to see another great indie horror from Ben.
