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.
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.
I should have paid heed to the low rating reviews of this movie here on IMDb. Oh how I wish that I had. This movie is really as bad as the reviews made it out to be, and then some.
The movie is about a group of young people at a remote farm, surrounded by a seemingly endless field and with an otherworldly evil stalking them.
Right, well the idea was not too bad, but it is just something that has been done and seen in many other other horror movies, such as the classic "Evil Dead" movie to mention but a single one.
But the movie just was as far from interesting as it could possibly be. And I quickly found myself with my phone and dividing my attention between the movie and phone. And I wasn't missing out on anything, unless you consider an unfathomably dull storyline, questionable acting, lousy dialogue and sheer boredom as missing out on a cinematic experience.
This movie came and went, and left no lasting impression or mark in any way. It will most likely be long forgotten the following day after having seen it.
So, do take notice of all the bad reviews or the rated score of the movie, and stay well clear of this snoozefest.

Fields of the Dead (2014) is currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of friends who stay the night in an old farm house. One of the friends find an old book in their room and decide to read a couple passages which awakes the dead around the farm. Can the friends survive the night?
This movie is directed by Daniel B. Iske (Monster X) and stars Mark Booker (Perfectmatch), Melanie Recker (It's Dark Here), Lara Adkins (The Wretched) and Mike Delange (The Wretched).
There's absolutely nothing good about this film. The kill to start the movie before the opening credits was weak and could have been much better. The jump scares in this were also lacking and the film focuses too much on character interactions and "missing friends" rather the horror elements. The use of blood was also a miss and the comedy elements were lame. There's really no aspects of this I liked.
Overall this is a disappointing addition to the horror genre I'd recommend skipping. I'd score this a 1/10.
