Featured reviews
While I stop short of calling this a 'good' movie, it's slightly better than so-so. I watch a lot of horror B movies, and a great many deserve a rating of 2.6 and around there, but that would be a bit harsh of a rating for this one in my opinion. The acting is decent, directing, writing, and composition are also respectable, so I tentatively give this one a 5. I've most certainly seen worse. If you enjoy possession type movies and run-of-the-mill slashers, you'll probably like this movie. I don't expect this one to win any Emmies, but it was alright as low budget horrors go. When I decided to review this movie I wasn't expecting to have to write a novel about it. While I am required to write at least ten lines or 1000 words, there really isn't anything left to tell. It's a low budget horror movie, not a deep thought provoking drama with symbolic undertones commenting on societal attitudes and an emotionally rich plot and musical score. Perhaps the folks at IMDb don't believe folks should bother reviewing movies that are fairly basic in content. If that's not the case perhaps they might consider revisiting the requirements for posting a review.
This had to be written by a middle schooler. The acting was terrible. Ashley (the "hottie") was the worst actress. Her spoiled routine was cliche and poorly executed. Skip this dumb movie.
I watched this movie yesterday, thinking it was a new part of the Land / Diary / Survival Of The Dead that I somehow missed... Yes, that's right... Anyway, after the first 2 minutes I knew it was NOT what I thought it will be. But I kept watching - sadly.
I wouldn't say that I regret watching it. I think it somehow will lower my expectation for a few next horror films. Therefore it still has a positive aspect, but that's really the only one.
I think the simplest way to explain is this: There's sunny weather and the next day it's cloudy, you'll say: Man, the weather sucks tomorrow." But if it's rainy and the next day it's cloudy, you'll say: "Aaah nice, at least no more rain!!" The movie would represent a blizzard in that scenario.
---- Due to the fact that you can't even make fun of it, I rate that movie lower than other really bad movies like sand sharks, sharknado, bigfoot,.. at least they had it's funny moments...

OK,low budget film, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by corn, with an antique, possibly haunted yarn, with a scary old story surrounding it, with 3 blonde chicks...I mean cliché is the perfect word to describe this.
All in all, no excuse for the extremely,EXTREMELY, used plot, with ABSOLUTELY nothing new whatsoever, just a re-rewritten thing you've seen 10 times already. So if they couldn't bring anything different, with the help of budget, or maybe a cool horror actor, or something, anything, why make this? Yes, it is bad, the acting is amateur mostly, the plot, as said, is...just impossible to comprehend how can anyone say that THEY written it? Really? So it's like original too I guess...
Anyway, "Fields of the dead" doesn't go in the "to pass some time" category, nor in the "so bad it's good", it has a decent first half for a low budget horror, but then, when it tries to become horror, it becomes pitiful. I really hate trashing movies, especially horrors, because, well, people try to show what they can do, with a micro budget, so maybe one day someone will give them a chance, but this right here, is what we call, wasted-money!
Avoid it! Pretend it does not exist! Best advice I can give you.

Please please please for you own good, stay as far away from this movie as you possibly can, in fact walk away now do not think about this movie again, if you have any love for horror genre you will be horrifically disappointed with this movie. This is a poor excuse for a "horror" movie watching paint dry has to be more entertaining than this. The budget was obviously tiny the actor/actresses were bad but not because of poor skills it was just a terrible script!I really do truly enjoy horror movies but the idea that this "horror" movie falls into the horror category is a joke this is going on my list of never to be watched again ever i was watching something else on my tablet by the time the movie was about 40 minutes in it is that bad!
