Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson’s Surreal “SOMETHING IN THE DIRT” Screens in UK Cinemas November 4

London, UK – Lightbulb Film Distribution is thrilled to confirm that the surreal, critically acclaimed sci-fi/horror SOMETHING IN THE DIRT will be in UK Cinemas from 4th November and then available on Digital Download from 28th November and Blu-ray from 5th December. 

SOMETHING IN THE DIRT is the latest title from filmmakers Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, the creators of the crtically acclaimed Spring, The Endless, Synchronic, as well as episodes from Marvel’s Moon Knight and the upcoming second season of Loki. The film is fresh from its sold-out UK premiere at FrightFest and there are also two further October festival screenings at Celluloid Screams (Sheffield) and FilmFear (Manchester).

Synopsis: When neighbors John and Levi witness supernatural events in their Los Angeles apartment, they realize documenting the paranormal could inject some fame and fortune into their wasted lives. An ever-deeper, darker rabbit hole, their friendship frays as they uncover the dangers of the phenomena, the city, and each other.

“We are thrilled to be bringing Something In The Dirt to UK & Ireland audiences in November. Moorhead and Benson are visionary filmmakers and we have admired their DIY filmmaking style for many years. Their unique, mind-bending stories are bold and compelling. Something In The Dirt is destined to be a cult-classic.” commented Sales & Acquisitions Director, Peter Thompson.

SOMETHING IN THE DIRT will be in UK Cinemas from 4th November and then on Digital Download from 28th November and Blu-ray from 5th December.
