Unearth (II) (2020)
8/10
Slow drama, satisfying body horror finale
10 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I found this film was a slow atmospheric depressing drama depicting the struggles of a couple of poor farming families and would have got a very low rating. However it earns its drama/horror title with its last half hour as the rural citizens all got turned into what seemed like grotesque fruiting bodies which I assume was from a subterranean primordial fungus the fracking disturbed allowing them all to breathe in the spores which gave them all a very nasty tickly cough indeed. Whatever ancient biology it was deep within the earth that had them sprouting and oozing, I warrant it was probably best left well alone within earths rocky bowels.

It felt like the slow burn somber atmosphere might yield a nice shiny horror reward and I wasn't left disappointed. Maybe not enough for all horror fans but felt like enough icing on the cake for me.
