Dark Fields, low (high)lights

Well, the main girl character is easy on the eyes. The movie, however, isn't. I have no idea how this movie made it to Lion's Gate. Poor script, poor characters, poor dialogue, worst psychopath ever, no idea what happened to the driver of the car -- yet, this made it to the video store. Lion's Gate easily spent more money on packaging than it did on the movie. The shots tended to go way too long (i guess they really needed to extend it), the use of slow motion looks choppy. The only way, I mean the only way, this movie would have been interesting if the main female character went topless (it's part of the horror genre). No idea why this movie was rated R, spent the last 5 minutes of the movie on bloopers to extend the movie more, no mention of which concert they were going to, music was flat/no feeling, over-acting or no acting ability, definitely from Canada with the accents, the trucker's beard was fake looking, the only character that acted nicely was the father from the beginning who really did look concerned -- concerned that the movie was going to be bad. I liked the car driver character only because he made me laugh. There were more holes in this story and more lighting problems than I have ever seen in a film. In summary, I feel cheated out of an hour. Lion's Gate should be ashamed of themselves.

It's Definitely Harvesting Time

Oh yes, this movie. I noticed this movie on a $2.99 rack in a video store and it looked mind-blowing. The artwork was fantastic and although it reminded me of the Texas Chainsaw I still bought it. I got a refund. This movie was horrible, horrible, horrible. Basically it's about a group of teens driving on a dark highway, their car breaks down, they try to cipher gas from an old farmhouse and they are being killed, one by one, by a killer who lives in that house. This movie was a disaster but the title, it sounded good, almost like a kids book title.

The acting was so stale and wooden it was funny. The teens would usually overact or they would not act enough when the time called for it. The movie was a horrible rendition of your classic young-girl-stalked-by-unknown-killer tale. This movie looks like a bad high school movie project. I wish that I had more to say about this title but I forgot a lot about it and I would rather not remember it. So in conclusion this is a movie that should be sent to wheat thrasher.

Serious contender for worst slasher flick of all time....

Z- Grade Horror !!!

This film looked like it had the production budget of about 3 bags of weed. It almost looks like a student film. Bad lighting, bad soundtrack, bad plot, shallow characters and even badder acting.

I laughed out aloud at some of the bad dialogue and the main character "Taylor" who was more concerned about flicking her long hair and looking sexy than actually trying to act.

Given the obvious lack of funding, the badly written script and the amateur actors - the director than likely did the best they could - under the circumstances.

But there are a lot better Slasher style pics out there which have been made on a similar budgets and still retain a good story with lots of good chills. The indie horror film "Malevolence" is a prime example.

Wold Creek had a budget of $1 Million US - and it was one of the scariest and brutal films ever made in the slasher genre.

Granted this was an amateur effort, but that's still no excuse. An original idea may have been all that was needed to elevate this film above the level of "absurd".

Dark Nonsense

This movie really deserves a 0 vote because it was so cheap. the title had nothing to do with the movie and had nothing to do with the plot.

This movie was not even close to being a horror because I could not stop laughing about the horrible acting. I can't believe Blockbuster would put such crap on their shelves.

It was peculiar how the school at the beginning only had four students in the hallways. Maybe it is because this movie had a low budget. But please do not waste money on this movie. It makes for a good comedy but not a horror. Overall the plot just a mess and did not make any sense...

Not even fun as a cheese-fest movie.

First of all, I'd like to say, my favorite type of movies are cheap horror flicks. I love them! The cheesier the better! But this one, this one was so stupid. I contribute it mainly to the "killer". The title says he has an Axe. He never uses the Axe but maybe once. And the hair? Its just a wig pulled over his face! They couldn't have come up with anything better, even cheesier? At least put a damn mask on the guy! This movie sucked. I liked the barn idea though, the unusually big barn with several parts. Acting was terrible, I like bad acting but this wasn't even interesting. It felt like a project movie for a class. But the main problem for this crap fest was the deaths.

The first death, cheesy, gory, I like it but how is he gonna die from his arm being "grated". He just lays down and dies after his hand gets cut off. Not even realistic.

The second death, guy gets stabbed. Kind of lame and slow, not even very "serial killer'-esquire. Whatever, I'll take it.

But then, the rest of the movie is the two girls running from the killer wildly, but then entering rooms and leaving their backs to doors and spots where the killer was. Who would do that? I would be scared shitt-less looking around me. Nope, they couldn't even add a little realistic emotion. Then the rest of the movie is also the girls getting knocked out by little punches the killer gives them. It just turns into a boxing match, with the killer getting back up every time from things hitting him and knocking him out. Finally the girls shoots him with something. I don't really know what it was because I was fast forwarding, but the movie ends. No brutal Axe deaths or chainsaw stuff. Just a bunch of dumb plot and dumb boxing. No wonder it was free on demand.

Oh and the "bloopers" Not funny at all. Very basic "oh noes i messed up a line!! Lol" Boo. Overall this movie gets a 1 out of 10, and I'm not harsh critic.

This is in my POS productions group

What is my POS productions group? It stands for Piece Of Sh@t productions. This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my whole life!! You can see the boom mike at times. The whole movie is supposed to be happening at night yet there are scenes where you can see daylight in the background. There are 2 scenes where you can see the shadow of the cameraman on a wall. Also, you never find out what happened to the first teen that was killed. At least show us his body or something! There are at least 4 scenes where the killer could have killed the last 2 girls left alive but he doesn't. He just walks away and disappears!! And the acting?? Can we say elementary school play? Oh I'm sorry, I don't want to insult the elementary schools! And the climactic scene is easily the worst of all time!! I wasted $4.86 to rent this at Blockbuster mainly because on the DVD box there is a quoted from IFQ magazine stating that it is "The most terrifying movie of the last decade". I WILL NEVER TRUST THOSE GUYS AGAIN!!

wooow.

I actually registered for this site for the sole purpose of commenting this movie. In terms of scary movies, it was horrible, but if you see it as a comedy, it's the funniest movie in a long time. the actors are so bad, it's crazy. I counted three parts where you can see the boom mike, and two where you can see the camera man. Also, when they are supposedly "in the middle of nowhere", you can hear a car honking its horn in the background. Another hilarious part is when the first victim dies. The acting is so bad, at first I thought he was just messing around with his friend. I think that if you are ever home alone, and you have Comcast digital cable, rent this off of fearNET. It's free and it will definitely cheer you up.

Just terrible

I'm a huge fan of z-grade horror flicks. I can definitely appreciate some pretty low budget trash. Ghost Lake, Aquanoids, Evil Cult, The Day The Darkened Arise--that's some quality bad cinema. Dark Fields falls into the category of sub-bad cinema. This movie is so bad (and in a totally unwatchable way) that I won't let any of my horror trash loving friends borrow it. Terrible story, acting, no memorable lines. Just plain bad. Seems like there wasn't any effort put into any portion of the movie.

The concert must be 500 miles away from how dark it gets during their pointless drive. Quite the major trip for them not to have bought tickets in advance or gotten their rides all figured out. Just one small example of the lack of thought put into the movie. It starts bad, and just gets worse from there on out.

Don't waste your time on this movie. Don't watch it thinking it could be so bad that it's fun to watch. It isn't. Stay back, back I say.

Are you kidding me?

I don't see a "minus 10" vote up there, so I had to give it a 1. (what a shame)My 10 year old nephew is so much more capable of acting. During the movie I was literally laughing at just how bad and stupid a movie could get! I always wondered what some people meant hen they said horror movies made them laugh. Thanks for this piece of garbage. If anything it gave me a chance to experience it for myself! The two girls were acting like the dumbest people I'd ever seen. If the two survivors were the dumbest, then the three boys who got killed would be the most brain dead characters in the history of cinema. Was that really a killer or a scare crow that couldn't even raise his hand and stab somebody? He just stood there like a piece of dead meat and did nothing. Nothing at all! This is the dumbest killer I've ever seen portrayed in a movie. Let's all hope all killers are just as dumb in the real world! The movie looked as if it's been made by a home video camera. This so called "movie" looked home-made! I can't believe IMDb would even consider putting this here up for vote! Peopkle who say there are worst movies out there need to think twice before saying such a thing, because obviously this is the worst movie ever made, so no there are no films worse that this out there and I hope there never will be!

Move Along, Nothing To See Here

If you're interested in seeing this movie, don't. The only thing it does well is bore you half to death. There is no plot and no acting. I could forgive such grievances for a lot of slasher films, but you have to at least attempt to make it up some other way. This movie could have at least salvaged itself as a mediocre slasher if there was some gore and nudity. Unfortunately, there was neither. The vast majority of this movie is spent watching these silly kinds wander around and say dumb stuff to each other, with only one even remotely gory incident (and I use the term 'gore' lightly). There were also plenty of chances for both of the actresses to show their boobs on screen, but somehow they managed to pass it up. Boring, boring, and even more boring. And I'm not even going to get into the ridiculous plot holes or how incredibly lame the killer is, or how anticlimactic and contrived the climax is...

drew

okay: i'm going to give the secret plot away, so, if you don't want to know, don't read this. what these other people don't see is the genius of negative capability in this film, which ingeniously obscures the role of Drew as an evil mastermind. We think Drew disappears but clearly he hates the other "assclowns" and has set up the entire plot. The clue is that he pays off Farmer John at the pump--to kill those idiots--and then neither his body nor the car ever return in the film. He never wanted to go to the concert anyway. Go drew! oh, this movie is worth seeing just for the haystack scene. wait for that! farmer john would have done better if he could have seen. he wasn't very smart: all he had to do was move the hair out of his eyes.
