Psychedelic Grindhouse-esque Teaser for ‘A FIELD IN ENGLAND’

Sadly, I haven’t sat down to watch Ben Wheatley’s Kill List which has been highly recommended. I’m also still waiting to see Sightseers (I picked Aftershock over it at Fantastic Fest which I think was a bad call) but that has also garnered high praise. A Field in England will debut in multiple formats in the UK on July 5th while the Stateside release has not been announced except that it is being handled by Drafthouse Films and the film will be available via theatrical & VOD.

Synopsis

England : 1648 AD

 

A small group of deserters flee from a raging battle through an overgrown field. They are captured by two men: O’Neil and Cutler.

 

O’Neil (Michael Smiley), an alchemist, forces the group to aid him in his search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field.

 

Crossing a vast mushroom circle, which provides their first meal, the group quickly descend into a chaos of arguments, fighting and paranoia, and, as it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, they slowly become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field.

 

A Field In England is a psychedelic trip into magic and madness from Ben Wheatley – award-winning director of Down Terrace, Kill List and Sightseers.
