      Andy J Terrible movie. Absurd acting and dialogue. A sequel not befitting the first film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/20 Full Review Audience Member truly awful horror film. the maniacs start killing off the crew from a reality show. as bad as it sounds. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This is, in every conceivable way, a lot worse than the 2005 remake. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member There are no redeeming qualities to this film. It looks cheap, its terribly acted. Gratuitous nudity did nothing for this. Simply terrible. Half a star only because Flixster won't let me rate it otherwise. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 2001 Maniacs may not have been a masterpiece. It was sloppy, cheap, below-average acting at best, a hackneyed premise, and all together just not that enthralling. But it was twice the film Field of Screams could ever be! It is the superior in every concievable way. Well. All but one. Field of Screams did have the fine addition of Ogre (Above - Repo! The Genetic Opera and The Devil's Carnival) as "Doctor" Harper Alexander. He was enjoyed thoroughly. Everything else though! Throw it out! Go! Be gone! No more of you! Bill Mosely is a personal favourite, and has been since I first saw him play Chop-Top over a decade ago. He's far from new to the horror game, having had roles in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, The Devil's Carnival, The Devil's Tomb, Repo! The Genetic Opera, House, Halloween, Werewolf Women of the SS (Grindhouse Teaser), Carnivale, House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, Army of Darkness, Night of the Living Dead (1990), Silent Night Deadly Night III, The Blob, Freddy's Nightmares, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Alone in the Dark II, The Alphabet Killer, Evil Bong, Blood Run, Corpse Killer and Evil Ed, as well as many more, and a great looking future in the industry ahead. He replaces Robert Englund as Mayor George W. Buckman. But despite my praises for Bill, in 2001 Maniacs, he simply does not cut it. The biggest, and honestly most unforgivable thing that they fucked the character with was not the fact that they decided to change characters, but the fact that his mother fucking eyepatch changed from his left to his right eye for no fucking reason! Seriously! In 2001 Maniacs, Englund's injured eye is his left, in Field of Screams, Mosely's injured eye is his right. 'The fuck... It was from the point about five seconds in when you first see this monumental cock up that I decided Field of Screams was probably not gonna be for me. It went downhill from there. Though the last film may have that cooky-so-bad-it's-good element every now and again, Field of Screams is just regular bad. Bad, bad, bad. I've physically seen worse movies in my day, but I try to avoid the likes of those. 20% -Gimly Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Director Tim Sullivan's Sequel To His Remake Of "Two Thousand Maniacs", Is A Total Disaster. This Film Contains The Pointless Nudity And Violent Scenes Seen In Most Films Of The Genre. But That's About It Without A Solid Story Or Even Decent Performances This Film Doesn't Work & Is One To Avoid. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Scott Weinberg FEARnet A merciless chore of a movie. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 5, 2011 Full Review R.L. Shaffer IGN DVD Field of Screams will have its fans. It's certainly gory, crass, riddled with female nudity and off-the-wall antics. But the narrative never amounts to anything interesting. Rated: 3/10 Oct 16, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
