Back in October, British filmmaker Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Rebecca) announced his return to the low-budget horror realm with Into the Earth, a new project which he’d shot in secret during the first lockdown, and now we have a brief teaser for the movie courtesy of distributors NEON…

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.
In the Earth features a cast that includes Joel Fry (Yesterday), Ellora Torchia (Midsommar), Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake), and Reece Shearsmith (The League of Gentlemen). It will receive its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
