Plot:
When this year’s round of unsuspecting Northerners fail to show up for their annual Guts N’ Glory Jubilee because the Feds are investigating the disappearances of Northerners over the years, the residents of Pleasant Valley take their twisted carnival on the road and head to Iowa, where they encounter spoiled heiresses, Rome and Tina Sheraton, and the cast and crew of their “Road Rascals” reality show. They begin killing the cast and crew…
Reviews:
“Field of Screams provides the bare minimum of entertainment slapped together with unfunny socio-political crassness and intense, but very fake-looking gore effects.” R.L. Shaffer, IGN
“The humor – which is only comprised of Jew, black, Asian, gay and sex jokes – never really hits the right notes, managing to only be crude and possibly offensive rather than actually funny. Oh, and as far as the nudity goes, yes, it’s chock-full of topless women, but a good horror film that does not make.” David Harley, Bloody Disgusting
“a merciless chore to get through.” Scott Weinberg, Fearnet
