10 More Recent Sci-Fi Movies You Probably Haven't Seen

10. Something In The Dirt

Dumping a great many comedic and often horrifying elements into their latest slice of provoking sci-fi goodness, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (the minds behind Spring and Endless) were at it again in the thick of the pandemic.

And it was during that real-life horror of a time that the two, along with a skeleton crew, were able to forge Something in the Dirt; a tale involving two new neighbours discovering a seemingly supernatural phenomena.

Things take numerous gripping and often darkly hilarious turns along the way, with Benson's Levi and Moorhead's John learning as much about themselves as they do the surreal floating quartz and flicking lights in the former's apartment over the course of their conspiracy/paranoia-stuffed odyssey.

Benson and Moorhead absolutely knock it out of the park both in front of and behind the camera, creating a set of carefully drawn figures built to personally clash, with the help of some top-class dialogue, as their quest to make some money off of the bizarre occurrences via a documentary ultimately changes both men's lives forever.

For a sub-two-hour dose of thoughtful, spooky, and routinely comical low budget sci-fi, very few recent outings hold a candle to Benson and Moorhead's dive into the dirt.
