Featured reviews
Well you know a movie is going to be pretty bad when they rely on s*x and nudity more than is neccassary. Yes i understand it is low budget but i have seen many more low budget films do way better. The "actors" were terrible and should try to find other work. Sound was actually pretty good where music was not super loud compared to talking. Scenery was very nice. I am not sure why reviews have to be so many characters now. With some movies, especially one like this, you can only have so much to say. Very pedastrian (hope i spelled it right). Colour was good. Camera was good. Sound was good. Acting was not good.
Wannabe actors and director meets Evil Dead. First, get an original idea for a movie. Too many films are being made with no thought involved in the plot, acting or anything else. The whole film was nowhere close to being exciting or interesting for that matter. The killings, possessions and so forth has been done so many times, the fright is not there.
There is nothing new in this film except a black mark against the people who made this atrocious piece of work. I think people are running out of ideas; remakes of old films are being produced, movies based on comics and these pathetic found footage are still being released.
People, forget American movies for now and look up some foreign horror which you may surprisingly find more entertaining.

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.

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.
