'Something in the Dirt,' the latest film from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, is a fantastic addition to their exploration of cosmic horrors. Our review:
Human beings are in an uncomfortable position in the cosmos. Our sensorial apparatus is incapable of seeing or hearing everything that happens around us, while our nervous system can only process a limited amount of information. Yet, we are pattern-seeking animals that try to make sense of the things around us. It's no wonder we are always trying to look for the meaning of everything, and frequently creating explanations for phenomena we can't possibly understand.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Levi and John's quest is shared with the viewer, as we get to watch the duo working on the documentary and parts of the documentary itself, a fragmented structure that challenges us to wonder what's real or not. Because if it's clear that some supernatural force is at play, the breadcrumb trail the duo follows doesn't always show a clear path.
The essence of cosmic horror is the realization of human insignificance. We are no more than dust in the universe, even though we try to think we are each special somehow. So, when forced to interact with things we cannot control or understand, we realize how small we truly are. Something in the Dirt explores the struggle to bind unexplainable forces to our will, only to realize at every turn we might not be up to the task.
By taking control over writing, directing, production, and acting on their movie, Benson and Moorhead can make sure Something in the Dirt focuses entirely on the two protagonists, doubling down as a character study meticulously put together.
