A ★★★ review of Something in the Dirt (2022)
Film #29 of Hooptober X: In SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE I appreciate what Something In the Dirt is trying to do; I just don’t know that I entirely like how it gets there. Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s pandemic film rips apart the notion of conspiracy theories in fairly brutal ways, and I’m always down for a film willing to go that route. And there is a decent amount to enjoy in this, including the on-screen performances from Benson and Moorhead as new neighbors who discover something supernatural going on in the newer arrival’s apartment. It’s clear that these guys are very comfortable
