The fear is inescapable and the suspense nonstop in this gripping horror-thriller about six strangers who suddenly awaken in a remote, endless cornfield. Stripped of their possessions, they are left with only six items: a gun with a single bullet, matches, a lantern, a knife, a compass, and a flask of water. As mysterious sirens blare in the distance and traps appear at every turn, the group realizes it's been plunged into a cat-and-mouse game with an unseen evil, and survival depends upon solving a diabolical -- and deadly -- puzzle.

Katie Rife Polygon Escape the Field gets a marginal pass, for two reasons: First, it’s short, clocking in at a brisk 88 minutes. Second, it’s an original-ish concept, with no explicit ties to existing IP. May 6, 2022 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com With such hand-holding dramatic direction and a dreary visual palette that never creates terror out of random corn stalks, it couldn’t be more dull. Rated: 1/4 May 6, 2022 Full Review Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle While Escape the Field lacks the visual panache of its predecessors, there’s enough here to make it a solid night at the movies for the right kind of genre fan. May 5, 2022 Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan There are familiar influences, but the way the concept and narrative are fleshed out creates a bland mystery where nothing exciting happens and is full of annoying characters. Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews Feels longer than six seasons of Lost with only a sliver of that "Mystery Box" show's cohesiveness. The actors gamely sally forth but they, like us, are getting nowhere. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Borrowing from Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians", this is a who's next movie that goes nowhere. Rated: 4/10 Jul 2, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Dylan H This movie is not terrible but many other movies have executed this idea much better with a less dull atmosphere. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Cloudy B Not a bad movie until the aggravating ending Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Kolby A I think this movie could have been a little bit better, but I'm not a writer/director of movies. It was enjoyable, however, and I like it. Interesting, to say the least, and I'd recommend anyone give it a shot. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review Lee J It was an interesting movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Kuan Kei The plot of the movie is tense and exciting, very good to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Yap T "Escape The Field" (2022) is an exhilarating and mind-bending cinematic experience that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. Director Sarah Johnson masterfully crafts a suspenseful narrative set within a seemingly innocent cornfield maze that quickly turns into a labyrinth of terror. The film seamlessly blends elements of horror and psychological thriller, leaving audiences guessing and questioning their own sanity along with the protagonist, played brilliantly by Jessica Adams. The cinematography is stunning, capturing the eerie atmosphere of the field and enhancing the sense of claustrophobia and unease. The script is smart and tightly woven, filled with unexpected twists and turns that will leave viewers in awe. With its stellar performances, gripping storyline, and a heart-pounding climax, "Escape The Field" is a must-see film that showcases the best of the genre and cements Sarah Johnson as a rising talent in the industry.
