Reviews

Great Sci-fi Flick

"Love this duo and all of their low budget high concept sci-fi flicks. This one is no exception."

— Nick C. (5/5)

Expert cinematography

"The way this film looked had my money as soon as I saw the trailer and the release is worth every penny"

— Steven R. (5/5)

Benson & Moorehead

"This team can do no wrong in my opinion. The disc itself is awesome (bummer the slipcase was sold out) and the special features are great. I love Vinegar Syndrome releases!"

— Adam F. (5/5)

Must Own Benson & Moorhead Film

"I'm a simple man; I see a Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead film, I stream it immediately and then wait for the physical copy to come out. So glad to complete their entire entire filmography with this release. Missed the slipcover, but overjoyed to have this in my hands and library. A great companion/double feature with Synchronic."

— Joseph M. (5/5)

Something in the Dirt

"I simply love the low budget sci fi from Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. Something in the dirt is another one of those strange tales. Highly recommended"

— Hansi L. (5/5)

"Awesome movie! Fast and safe shipping!"

— Royden (5/5)

Was hoping for another Moorhead and Benson classic

"Justin and Aaron's masterpieces came early in their career (Resolution, Spring, and The Endless), so as fans we expect to get that type of storytelling and movie making every time. We expect greatness every time, so when it's not, we're literally disappointed, and maybe even saddened. This movie may be great, this review is based on one viewing, but as of now I was totally letdown. It had all the elements of a classic Benson and Moorhead production, and until we got over the 1 hour mark, I still had hope (Remember, not much happened in the first half of Resolution), but as the movie was getting closer and closer to the end, I knew this wasn't going to make it to their "Mount Rushmore" of films. I love conspiracy theories and sci-fi, but the movie provided no definitive answers, and honestly became hard to keep track of the more the movie progressed. This sounds like a hit piece, it's not meant to be. I'm just a huge fan overly expressing my disappointment with the movie not being another "Resolution" or "The Endless" (although I counted 5 Easter eggs to The Endless in this movie). These guys will always be in my top tier of movie makers and writers and I will always be a huge fan. I will still continue to get excited for EVERY movie they make."

— Mike H. (5/5)

Awesome sci-fi horror.

"Another great one from Benson and Moorhead. If you haven't seen their films yet, do yourself a favor and check them out."

— Chris S. (5/5)

Such an underrated gem! Love it!

"I remember seeing the trailer for this and was curious but this thing delivered way more than I expected! Also the cover art, packaging, and transfer are incredible! I love the limited edition slipcover! One of my favorite purchases recently."

— Chris S. (5/5)

Cool low budget film

"It's hard to hate on something like this. It's clear the filmmakers put all their effort into this and it really is amazing what they made with such a small budget. With that said, this is far from my favorite film and it is not even my favorite film by this duo. It's worth watching, but I wouldn't watch it again"

— Saul J. (3/5)
