Liam Lacey
It's the English Civil War on magic mushrooms!
A Field In England is mad monochrome mayhem that's utterly hypnotic.
Ty Burr
It's about shifting power games, mostly, and suggests a period film made by Samuel Beckett in one of his more playful moods.
It's dementia for its own sake, an empty head-trip.
William Goss
A challenging piece of work to be sure, due for eventual midnight-movie cultdom.
Andy Webster
"A Field in England" tosses fascinating ingredients into its bubbling pot, and while the resulting dish - a blend of historical action drama, character study and psychedelic kaleidoscope - doesn't entirely cohere, it gives off a pungent aroma.

User reviews
Everyone dies? 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.

Blackwood Manor has new tenants. While architect Alex Hurst and his new girlfriend Kim restore their Gothic mansion's period interiors, Alex's young daughter Sally—neglected by her real mother and brushed aside by the careerist father—can investigate the macabre history and dark corners of the estate. Spurring Sally's investigation are the voices—rasping whispers who call out to her from the basement, who promise her understanding and friendship, who are so very hungry and would like to be set free. When Sally gives in to her curiosity, she opens a gateway into a hellish underworld from which an army of beady-eyed, sharp-clawed monsters emerge, small in size but endless in number: the homunculi. Confronted with the horror that now threatens to taker her life and destroy her family, Sally desperately tries to warn the whole house, but there's just one problem: no one believes her. Will she make them understand in time, or will they become another chapter in the centuries-long horror story of Blackwood Manor? © 2011 Miramax. All Rights Reserved.
