Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 79% based on 163 reviews, with an average rating of 6.70/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "In The Earth's bleak kaleidoscope of horror is a meditation on the residual pandemic fears that haunt humanity." On Metacritic, the film has weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film a score of 4/5 stars, writing that it "brings us back to Wheatley’s classic world of occult loopy weirdness and cult Britmovie seediness, with a new topical dimension of pandemic paranoia". Mark Kermode also gave the film a score of 4/5 stars in his review for The Observer, saying that it "combines humour and horror in terrifically bamboozling fashion, not least during a gruellingly extended amputation sequence that will have you squirming, laughing and wincing all at once."[12] Linda Marric of The Jewish Chronicle also gave the film a score of 4/5 stars, describing it as "a brilliantly imagined, well acted and thoroughly compelling offering from a writer-director who is a cut above the rest when it comes to small scale horror productions."
Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent gave the film a score of 3/5 stars, writing: "In the Earth is a horror film with razor-sharp teeth, even if the relative flimsiness behind that facade betrays its spur-of-the-moment inception." Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave the film a score of 5/5 stars, describing it as "an outrageously entertaining film that feels utterly rooted in the bleak era in which it was made." Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail wrote: "While I hope to never, ever watch In the Earth again, I must admit to admiring parts of it, too", and praised the film's use of dark humor. Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film a score of 3/4 stars, writing: "Even though some sections feel rushed and it falls apart at the end, every part of it is memorable."
Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post was more critical of the film, giving it a score of 1.5/4 stars. He wrote that the film's setting "reads more like a peaceful suburban park than the “hostile environment” of the forest primeval it’s described as", and added: "the film has nothing interesting to say about pandemics." Randy Myers of The Mercury News gave the film a score of 2/4 stars, writing: "While it lacks the thematic punch of High Rise, Earth deserves points for originality, but grows wobbly by its end." Kevin Maher of The Times gave the film a score of 2/5 stars, describing it as ending with "a prolonged blast of rapid-fire psychedelia that seemed like an outrageous narrative cop out.
