From the absolutely weird and frightening mind of Ben Wheatley.
Rating: 3.1 out of 5 (But I'm not really sure as it is such a mad creation)
Directed by: Ben Wheatley
Cinematography by: Laurie Rose
This monochromatic depiction of a group of men in, as the title suggests a field in England, is set during the civil war in the 17th century. These men find themselves together to the side of a battle which is raging in the next field over, they decide that instead the are going to search for an Ale House (or treasure i'm not really sure). The entire 90 minute film is set within the confines of this field. The whole plot is very confusing and has an unusual continuity, there does not seem to be any change in time of day. The thing about it is that it does not settle on one genre. The genre constantly fluctuates between the lines of comedy, drama and horror.
There is one scene all in slow motion where the character Whitehead comes out of a tent with a rope around him and the scariest looking grin on his face:
Words to do with this film:
- Atmospheric
- Bizarre
- crazy
- mad
- Psychedelic

- Vengeance
I don't even know if I would recommend this film to people, it is definitely an experience in artistic film making.
The only reason I put this up was to write it down somewhere and if you feel you want to see it then do so at the risk of your own sanity.
