Full trailer for Benson & Moorhead's indie sci-fi "Something in the Dirt"

"Perhaps these gateways to other dimensions are actually all around us?" XYZ has released a full trailer for the mysterious little indie sci-fi film titled Something in the Dirt, the latest from highly talented independent filmmakers Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead. This premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and just performed at the Sitges Film Festival, where it won the Critics' Award. When neighbors John and Levi witness supernatural happenings in their Los Angeles apartment, they realize documenting the paranormal could inject fame and fortune into their wasted lives. An ever deeper and darker rabbit hole, their friendship unravels as they discover the dangers of the phenomenon, the city, and each other. The film also features Benson & Moorhead in the lead roles, as it was a pandemic project they did quietly in Los Angeles in an apartment building. Also starring Sarah Adina Smith, Wanjiru Njendu, Issa Lopez and Vinny Curran. We've been fans of these two for years and years, raving about their films, including Spring, The Endless and Synchronic. Better watch this new without knowing anything before going in, but it's also a fantastic trailer for the movie.
