Critics Consensus

In the Earth's bleak kaleidoscope of horror is a hallucinogenic meditation on the residual pandemic fears that haunt humanity.

Audience Says

With headache-inducing visual effects and a plot that makes little to no sense, In the Earth is a horror movie that many fans of the genre will want to avoid.

I do actually think this is one of Wheatley's better films of late.

It has effective scares, and it certainly kept me gripped.

Independent (UK)

In the Earth is a horror film with razor-sharp teeth, even if the relative flimsiness behind that facade betrays its spur-of-the-moment inception.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

In the Earth is the kind of movie that’s destined to gain a cult following ... There’s some weaker stuff to sit through, but when this film hits its stride, it really hits its stride.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Movie Buff

Wheatley manages to blend science fantasy and horror to explore the paranoia and chaos in a pandemic-ravaged world.

Rated: B

With Hollywood heading in the direction of the psychological horror, it is nice to see this gorefest from Wheatley and to just have fun with it.

Rated: B+

It may have been visually and audibly impactful but as a narrative it was incoherent. So many logical inconsistencies that it’s impossible to overlook them and immerse oneself in the film.

I would rate it lower if it let me. This movie was the dumbest, most pointless movie I’ve ever watched
