Unearth

DramaHorror

A fracking horror story, "Unearth" follows two neighboring farm families whose relationships are strained when one of them chooses to lease their land to an oil and gas company. In the midst of growing tension, the land is drilled, and something long dormant and terrifying, deep beneath the earth's surface is released. "Unearth" is about the horrifying repercussions sown by shortsighted decisions, and what our children reap from our actions.

Trust me, there's infinitely better uses of your time. Plodding, with "dread" music playing from start to end. It's amateurish to play "dread" music before there's the slightest clue WHAT to fear! Too bad the rest of the movie wasn't up to the acting level, which was quite good. You know the editor(s) needed to wield the scissors when you can fast forward without fear of missing anything ANYTHING. .

Watched til 45 mins realized it's a sci fic, thought it's a drama with deep meaning kinda. Slow burn to die.... I mean myself.

Finally someone is telling the story of what is really going on in the natural gas industry and how they are literally drilling the life out of the land and these family's lives. These depictions are NOT fictional. The water turns brown. There is dust in the air. People believe they are going to make money but they don't, they end up signing contacts they don't understand and pay for marketing for gas companies. Small family farms getting crushed by huge industrialized farming, then forced to lease their land to stay afloat - they think! And if you don't want to, it doesn't matter because if your neighbor does it's just as if you do. This is not a slasher flick. You watch these two families slowly suffer through desperate financial and family drama to their breaking point and then suffer the environmental and supernatural consequences. And then it's terrifying.

This title isn't hardly a movie....it's all about talking without any purpose of making anything into a story....don't know why they made this 'story' into something to tell to anyone....one of the worst things i ever seen in awhile....avoid this crap!!!

A slow burn with beautifully-filmed, nuanced performances that expertly builds up the claustrophobic dread as you watch these families struggle with poverty and hopelessness, culminating in a brutal climax as they face the consequences of one member's desperate and mistaken attempt to remedy their situation. An achingly accurate metaphor for the ways we try to solve our immediate problems and end up creating greater problems for ourselves and our environment.

I would if it wasn't so fragmented while going nowhere. The environment definitely needs protecting but see little reason to protect this movie with an inflated rating. It's an unbalanced film and in so doing removes the 'suspension of disbelief'. I may as well been watching a mockumentary but as far as I can tell that was not its intention.

A turgid depressing film, the Farmers generate little if any sympathy, the old bat that plays the mother has a face like a Bulldogs bum that has been stung by a wasp with an hat on, I was rooting for whatever it was that got them to get get them, and put them and us out of our misery, and for God's sake will filmakers stop this * for filming everything in the dark.

Excellent movie about what happens when we acquiesce to industry a bit too much. There are two species on this planet organics and the fungi. You best understand the fungi have been around longer thab us by a few billion years and have been responsible for cleaning up the earth after every planetary life ending event. In short - it consumes, decomposes and returns fertility to the area around it. So a Frakking company gets between two broke, sad, and fueding farming families. They let their guard down and the company manages to lease one of the families land to drill. The frakkers dig deep inadvertently releasing an all consuming incredibly fast, sound and lumens reacting flesh eating fungus. The same one that cleaned up Earth after the dinosaurs were wiped out by the meteor. The farmers soon realize that their squabbling was foolish and they should have stood their ground as the fungus literally consumes their bodies while they go insane from the spores. Everything is consumed slowly and horribly including all wild life (birds, cattle..etc). Nothing is spared except for the fauna and trees natually. The mycillin keeps the fungus from going haywire hehe. Warning: there is a scene where even the baby is not spared from being digested horribly by the fungi. It's what it does. Meanwhile the Frakking company moves on after realizing the damage. In the end the land is fertile again and a new bumper crop is being seen harvested. Problem is - the one surviving protagonist has the "itch" and you can see 2 more frakking sites set up at the mouth of a river just before the camera goes dark. Love it. ..we never learn.. The Earth (Fungi) will turn us all into compost if we cant figure out how to care for it. Great movie. Would recommend it to anyone.

This film start with a woman fishing on a boat, and she went away with her car scene! As turnout, this film is about two farm families need to survive from the infectious water! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the searching scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the drinking scene, overuse of the eating scene, overuse of the blackout scene, overuse of the taking care of baby scene, overuse of the working scene, overuse of the driving scene, overuse of the taking picture scene, and overuse of the kissing scene Make the film unwatchable! At the end, only Christina survive! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

A film about failing small businesses in the US countryside, well that's the the first hour after that prepare for rushed nonsense for the last 20 minutes. A lot of dead air throughout this movie, at the start make sure to come equipped with a notepad so you can figure out who all the characters are and their relationships with one another, because it's not explained. After zero hints that it's going this way a random pathogen appears in the last 20 minutes for something to happen??? That something I still can't explain. Characters show up who have never been seen before to contribute very little. Don't change the entire plot of the movie in the last act.
