That is what it is about

There is rumbling under the surface of the village society. Everyone's business is going badly and the farmers' future looks anything but rosy. For George it is clear: he must protect his family and find a way out of the dilemma. When a fracking company rings his doorbell one day, a solution seems to be in sight. So they build, drill and pump. But something slumbers in the depths of the earth that pushes to the surface and brings pure horror instead of redemption!

What you should know

The birds are chirping, the wind is rustling. But silence will fall in this environmental horror film. No, it's not hackneyed. The directors have created a film of extraordinary intensity. Grandiose, menacing photography and an impressive sound design make UNEARTH a holistic experience that skilfully plays with body horror and BODYSNATCHERS motifs. In addition, it is based on deeply irritating subtexts that invite interpretation, especially in the Corona year. A must-see!
