Review of The Field

The Field (II) (2019)
1/10
Excruciatingly awful
31 January 2020
Within 20 minutes this film went from odd to awful with a local getting belligerent over a simple photo taken by our newcomer (Ben). Following this encounter he is met by another judgmental local assuming some "big city" person just wants to take advantage of poor helpless folk. He took a picture and he is a monster? After this the film continues to leave you lost and confused about the "mystery" of what happened years ago at the farm our newcomers (Ben & Lydia) purchased from an obviously shady realtor who clearly didn't disclose the dark secrets of their new home. We see Ben and Lydia acting as amateur sleuths and part time creepers searching for answers but only getting cryptic information. To add to the nonsense they are being harassed by the local sheriff who is also short on information and long on judgment and, while people "don't like him" he is still holds an elected position... The plot was the only thing that kept me engaged for an hour and a half hoping it would all come together but when the end came I found myself wanting to know who the writers were to make sure I never endure another one of their creations.
