About this movie

England - 1648 AD. 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 (Michael Smiley), 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. A Field in England is a psychedelic trip into magic and madness from Ben Wheatley - award-winning director of Down Terrace, Kill List and Sightseers.

In the developing story everyone turns to a hallucinant to think a way out of a difficult situation. By watching this movie you enter the realm of mind trips that leave you wondering if you are looking at the end of a story or someone's hallucinations that lead you to deduce a different turn of events.

How ironic. Would have been more ironic if it had been titled "A Film In England".
