"The Wretched" from 2008 is being recycled through Redbox/Amazon as a 2014 film "Fields of the Dead." A group of college kids working on a "Thesis Project" camp out on some haunted land. They find a book as one in the party become a possessed killer with a slight twist that didn't make any sense nor did the diary and its connection to anything. They tried to cram too much into the background.What was good was the characters and the occasional campy dialog. In the beginning I had to laugh at the song lyrics..."Baby I wrote this song for you, just you." It was fairy lame, but the girl considered it sweet that he wrote a song for her.The film also had a funny pot scene.At some point the dialog hit a rut and the rest of the film didn't have enough punch to carry it through. Too many slow scenes.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Michelle Schrage, Wendy Iske ?, Sarah Wald-back shower tease)

Where do I start? It starts okay considering they showed the first scene we see in EVERY horror movie. Then it starts without any introduction and the sounds started immediately which is extremely stupid considering most of them didn't die till the last 10 minutes of the movie. Story went so fast and they didn't give each scene it's rights of explanation if you know what I mean. For example I didn't realize she was possessed till the half of the movie so ya that's pretty stupid IMO. I also didn't understand the storyline much and was bored in the middle of it. It is so not recommended and a waste of time.

OK,low budget film, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by corn, with an antique, possibly haunted yarn, with a scary old story surrounding it, with 3 blonde chicks...I mean cliché is the perfect word to describe this.All in all, no excuse for the extremely,EXTREMELY, used plot, with ABSOLUTELY nothing new whatsoever, just a re-rewritten thing you've seen 10 times already. So if they couldn't bring anything different, with the help of budget, or maybe a cool horror actor, or something, anything, why make this? Yes, it is bad, the acting is amateur mostly, the plot, as said, is...just impossible to comprehend how can anyone say that THEY written it? Really? So it's like original too I guess...Anyway, "Fields of the dead" doesn't go in the "to pass some time" category, nor in the "so bad it's good", it has a decent first half for a low budget horror, but then, when it tries to become horror, it becomes pitiful. I really hate trashing movies, especially horrors, because, well, people try to show what they can do, with a micro budget, so maybe one day someone will give them a chance, but this right here, is what we call, wasted-money! Avoid it! Pretend it does not exist! Best advice I can give you.

Please please please for you own good, stay as far away from this movie as you possibly can, in fact walk away now do not think about this movie again, if you have any love for horror genre you will be horrifically disappointed with this movie. This is a poor excuse for a "horror" movie watching paint dry has to be more entertaining than this. The budget was obviously tiny the actor/actresses were bad but not because of poor skills it was just a terrible script!I really do truly enjoy horror movies but the idea that this "horror" movie falls into the horror category is a joke this is going on my list of never to be watched again ever i was watching something else on my tablet by the time the movie was about 40 minutes in it is that bad!
