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 didn't really get this movie at all. It's supposed to be a horror movie but the fact that this mess was even made is what truly makes it scary.Several university students/friends agree to go on a four day cultural dig at some abandoned corn field for native American artefacts. Most of them seem to have tagged along just for the extra credit they believe they'll get.Anyway, one of them chances upon some old diary and this releases a bunch of spirits that look like pilgrims. One of the group is possessed and they use her as their means to dispatch the other members of the group. There is also some kind of talisman that they find but there is no real explanation on how this is supposed to work, or whether it's a good or bad thing to even have it.So for me, there wasn't a whole lot in this that made any sense. Most killings in movies of this nature are either to collect souls or some other kind of end result, but this was just some kind of bizarre blood- lust which is not thoroughly explained. I watched this before knowing anything about it and that was a big mistake. It looked like this was another reanimated scarecrow movie and some of those can be fun to watch, however this was anything but fun.Most of the movie revolved around college humour and exaggerated stereotypes. By then end of it all, the only thing that came to mind was "what the hell did I just watch?"The ending made no sense at all. One of the students ends up leaving due to the weird happenings, so she gets driven to the nearest town to catch a bus back home. Inexplicably while she's unpacking, the talisman has somehow ended up in her backpack, the pilgrim spirit appears in her apartment somewhere and the movie just ends??! There is no story or direction to this and I could've lived quite happily not knowing that this garbage ever existed. Watch it at your own peril.

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.

So they are playing a sort of nasty game, and the humans, or the living are it, I think. Whoever has the talisman is the target, or the one to be protected, I didn't quite get that. It is not a completely awful movie, I would say totally middle of the road, and they used the darkness to cover up the lack of any life which works. (if that is what they were doing) I can't say that I Enjoyed this movie, I really wanted to turn it off while the credits were rolling, but I stuck in there, and did get to see a couple of well filmed scenes, but a lot of mixed up story that is patch worked together, and I just never quite felt any of it was real.The direction, and camera work are OK, there isn't a lot of feeling that you are not being shown the action, but I don't recommend this to most people. This would be an alright new experience for a horror fanatic who needs a fix of something new, but otherwise just keep flicking, clicking, or even trippin' on past.
