Hamish is a man gripped with drive for self excellence. A futile battle against the suffocation caused by his oppressive successful father. Hamish arrives on the soil of his mother's birth; she is felt instantly. A shocking car accident rips him apart, shattering his clenched control. A beast broken, he finds himself lost in the world of his long deceased mother. Young teen Evan, also involved in the accident befriends Hamish. The tremors of want and love beneath the stifling soil push to the surface, as he is led by the vitality of the unbridled boy Evan. He experiences the electric eroticism of living, and danger. His rage accelerates to violence, and ultimately his vibrant release.

Critics Consensus

Relying more on atmosphere than straightforward storytelling, It Is in Us All burnishes its slow-building story with outstanding cinematography.

It's a pretty film with an intense story start, but it languishes after the first 20 minutes. Jarvis holds his own, but he works more with his broken arm than any lines.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Frightening slow plot, very little happens. But that's not the worst part. None of the characters are likeable. Whenever there were sad moments, I found myself either rolling my eyes or laughing. I still don't understand why the lead characters were written to be SO unlikeable.

Sight & Sound

Campbell-Hughes [get]s into the minds, if not completely under the skin, of her troubled male characters. Yet her visual confidence and eye for emotive detail mark her out as an exciting filmmaking talent.

David Stratton

The Australian

It Is in Us All is a rather strange, rather enigmatic film about frustrated masculinity and while it is, on several levels, an impressive debut it doesn’t quite bring to the screen a sufficiently satisfying narrative.

Rated: 2.5/5

Jamison Kent

Little White Lies

An ambitious portrait of male emotional repression and the unsettling ways those emotions can suddenly spill out.

Rated: 3/5

The Curb

Antonia Campbell-Hughes’ debut feature It Is in Us All asks a question with its title. What is in us all? … thematically rich as it is dark proving that Campbell-Hughes is a director who has talent to burn.

Damon Wise

Deadline Hollywood Daily

A gore-free body horror that manages to be completely unnerving without conforming to any of the usual expectations that come with the territory.

Andrew Stover

Film Threat

While her intentions aren’t always lucid, Campbell-Hughes’s feature debut is undeniably unique, functioning as an exceptionally dour deconstruction of masculinity, suicide, and death.

Rated: 7.5/10
