Unearthed

Directed by Matthew Leutwyler1h 33m2007

In the desert area of Hat Creek, cows are found partially devoured and the farmers believe that a wolf is attacking the cattle. The alcoholic Sheriff Annie Flynn is called by the local farmer Rob Horn to witness the remains of an animal to request reimbursement from the government and for an accident with a tank truck that is blocking the road.

Our read: Unearthed (2007) reads as a heavy, breathless, inventive action · adventure · horror entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
