Excellent movie about what happens when we acquiesce to industry a bit too much. There are two species on this planet organics and the fungi. You best understand the fungi have been around longer thab us by a few billion years and have been responsible for cleaning up the earth after every planetary life ending event. In short - it consumes, decomposes and returns fertility to the area around it.
So a Frakking company gets between two broke, sad, and fueding farming families. They let their guard down and the company manages to lease one of the families land to drill.
The frakkers dig deep inadvertently releasing an all consuming incredibly fast, sound and lumens reacting flesh eating fungus. The same one that cleaned up Earth after the dinosaurs were wiped out by the meteor.
The farmers soon realize that their squabbling was foolish and they should have stood their ground as the fungus literally consumes their bodies while they go insane from the spores. Everything is consumed slowly and horribly including all wild life (birds, cattle..etc). Nothing is spared except for the fauna and trees natually. The mycillin keeps the fungus from going haywire hehe.
Warning: there is a scene where even the baby is not spared from being digested horribly by the fungi. It's what it does. Meanwhile the Frakking company moves on after realizing the damage.
In the end the land is fertile again and a new bumper crop is being seen harvested. Problem is - the one surviving protagonist has the "itch" and you can see 2 more frakking sites set up at the mouth of a river just before the camera goes dark. Love it.
..we never learn..
The Earth (Fungi) will turn us all into compost if we cant figure out how to care for it.
Great movie. Would recommend it to anyone.
