In the Earth kept me in my seat because I didn't want to miss when the plot showed up. Instead it felt made up along-the-way, giving me poofing mushrooms and controlled noise that left me impressed with the theater's crisp acoustics and stereophonic array. I've met plants more interesting than these characters: not a knock on the acting itself...I'm honestly proud of these kids for sticking it out. But it takes more than unsettling strobe lights to dub something "visually stunning". My older sisters used to dance to a strobe light in the basement when I was 5 and that was way more "visually stunning" than this turd. Oh and not a horror story at all, so kudos to the marketing gurus who flat-out lied to me. I will never get those twelve hours back.
