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.

So it moves kinda slow, but it's sorta Poltergeist meets Back to the Future. It kept me interested which surprised me, but seeing Barry Bostwick (Spin City) made the movie for me. You think it is going to concentrate on the satanic, but it never goes there. Just really odd. Kinda leaves you wondering....

If youre hobby is photography, or if youre deeply facinated by the moment of time, and what may hide behind the curtain of fotonic activity, then i guess this film will inspire and challenge you to try even harder. its a mystery drama, about a couple buying a farm to get away from a chicagian lifestyle.they want to develope their relationship and maybe start a family, but things doesnt turn out as they want. something sinister are hiding in the farm field, what it is and how its found are pretty decently made and done and i will tell you not to read so many reviews before watching this film because its original, strange and very very special. the product may have a sign of low budget, ''com on lets make a movie''-weekend on a farm, even though there are some weird and alienlike sequenses yull be, as youre rolled into the story, be amazed by the filmographic work, the fx and small but well made cgi's,the setup of the settings, very professional acting, immersive score and a good punch of tension. the ending are , i can reveal , happy, but you wont believe that in the middle, so if youre in for a pretty good indie flick, have a look at ''the field'' the grumpy old man did, and does not regret that. its a film that makes you think twice.

I went into watching this film by reviewing some of the previous reviews - VERY BAD MISTAKE! I cannot begin to explain what a complete waste of time and energy this film was. The acting wasn't too bad, slightly stiff. The dialogue - Oh My! The directing and cinematography - all over the place. The story overall - Ridiculous! The film overall - Very Boring! Please save yourself the effort and do not even bother wasting your time on this rubbish! I already saved you that! This scores a fantastic 2 out of 10 stars! Bleh!

This rubbish tries to be mystical, ghostly, enigmatic, scary (very feebly) - but nothing makes sense in it even by its own logic (if there is one). It is full of stuff without any sense or context. You watch and wait an hour in the hope of getting a clue to what the motivations of the characters might be. The characters have no baclground built up for you to even guess what may motivate them. Don't waste your time of this cr*p. I waited to the end in the hope that there would be some explanation or solution. But big nothing. It's amazing that there were people willing to waste money on making this idiotic film. Awful.

My wife and I saw this movie for our date night. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was fantastic. There were so many small details and quick moments that made it creepy and made us question what was happening. We went out for dinner afterwards and had a great time discussing the film. We are definitely going to watch it again to watch for more of the subtle elements. Great acting. Highly recommend.

This is one of those weird movies that fits in-between the usual ghost/spirit/supernatural films. I guess you have to be in the right mood to even watch it, because I found myself getting frustrated at certain points. By the end, though, I just enjoyed the ride. A Chicago couple buys a farm in a small town to get away from the chef job that was taking up too much of the husband's time. It so happens to have a weird field out back that, thanks to the husband's love of photography, they discover harbors a strange secret. One that the town seems to know but aren't terribly forthcoming about. A strange woman lives at the edge of their property and wanders around at all times, seemingly drawn to the same field. The sheriff, in particular, is very protective of her. We get a few hints that people may have disappeared in the field, or some odd sacrifice-y things may have occurred in the past, but, thanks to the photography of the husband, it's possible those people are not quite gone. Despite nothing ever being really clear, I would stress that I found this to be a great movie, with great acting by some great supporting talent - Veronica Cartwright, Barry Bostwick and Mark Metcalf. It even has a nice, happy ending. Or does it?

And neither should television shows, for that matter. Enough abduction, captivity and/or abuse happens to females now, in our past, as well as in our foreseeable future IN THE REAL WORLD that we don't need fictionalized "fantastic" stories to "entertain" us. Shall I ask that we all take a deep breath and then exhale before I make my statement about animal sacrifices in the entertainment world? I, for one, completely shutdown this movie as soon as I saw the bloody animal in the poorly done (if that's even the correct term) rip-off of the redneck zombie family from (the excellent) THE CABIN IN THE WOODS. That's my guess, anyway, as I had it on fast forward by then. This movie started out well. I was interested and ready to be entertained, but this crashed and burned hard and fast leaving me miffed that I actually bought it. You win some, you lose some. I lost on this one.

I went into this completely blind and I loved it! First, it is low budget, so there's the typical issues with that. And yes, there are some plot holes, but the story centers on a mystery so it's forgivable that not every single thing is explained. A couple moves to a rural farm. The photographer husband begins capturing ghostly figures in his pictures. And as the wife cleans out the house she discovers evidence of a pagan cult. The elderly neighbor lady mysteriously disappeared then reappeared decades before, but was it actually HER that came back? Is the field behind their house a spiritual vortex? Or a wormhole in space-time? Was the cult worshipping the powers of the field? Or does the cult exist in a parallel universe? I would classify this film as sci-fi much more than horror or thriller. It's not perfect, but it's very interesting. And I'm this modern film age of reboots, remakes, and tired tropes it was really refreshing to find an actual new, unique idea for a plot.

It's nowhere near as bad as the last two reviewers. Yes it is deeply flawed but still interesting. Yes it does drag a bit but again is saved by the overall interesting story. Veronica Cartwright is awesome as usual and play a very sympathetic strange old lady. But she does it very well. Barry Bostwick is well. Barry Bostwick. Not a lot is resolved by the end of the movies but enough is if you have paid attention to the town clerk conversation and looked at the photos they find in the attic and barn. Other than that I would say it is worth a sit through when you want something quieter and strange or are exhausted of all the terrible stuporhero nonsense that is out there.
