A Field in England (2013)
England during the English Civil War. 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, 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.

      Regarding palmistry, when Whitehead (Reece Shearsmith) is staring at the palms of his hands, the heart and head lines are filled with enough grime and dirt to stand out clearly, but his lifeline is clean and indistinct.
    • Quotes

      Friend: When you get to the alehouse, see a way to get a message to my wife.

      Jacob: Anything, Friend. Anything.

      Friend: Tell her... tell her I hate her. Tell her I did burn her father's barn. 'Twas payment for forcing our marriage. Tell her I loved her sister. Who I had. Many times. From behind. Like a beautiful prize sow.

      Jacob: If I'd have known that, I would have paid you more respect, brother.

    A pre-Robert Eggers 'Lighthouse' film

    This film screams proto-Lighthouse; black and white historical psychological thriller featuring characters slowly losing their minds? Eggers MUST have taken notes!

    Though I wouldn't say AFiE lives up to the monumental highs of Egger's 2017 masterpiece, it is still a unique watch that wasn't bad. Regardless, it is most certainly one of those 'out there' films, and will definitely polarize. Case in point, the hallucination scene near the end is a real spectacle - it manages to give half a glimpse into what our characters are tripping out to, but only that. Characters are also great and acted fantastically, especially Reece Shearsmith's Whitehead, who's got himself a bit of an arc. It can get a little self-indulgent, however, and the tiny cost of production does show, but overall I won't deny A Field in England is a substantial watch for such an under-budgeted film.
