A group of youths are clowning around in a graveyard one night, and one of them dares the others to go up to a grave and read out an "incantation" that will raise the dead. They do it, but nothing happens immediately, so they go home. The next day, one of them (the one who dared the others to read the incantation), is found murdered, as though it was done by a zombie/one of the undead. They must try to put the evil spirit to rest before it kills them all.
We have filmed a group discussion to determine which of the proposed synopses we would choose to follow in our group work.
Group synopsis from K Gold on Vimeo.
However, as a group we decided to go with a different synopsis, the one written by Josh. We chose to steer away from my synopsis because we felt it was too dark and we would be uncomfortable to film some of the scenes (particularly the scenes reading incantations in a graveyard in the middle of the night).
Below is Josh's synopsis, which we preferred as a group.
In world where people are scared by what goes bump in the night, possessions and floating sheets a new splash of horror is needed to relight true terror and fear to an audience of common day sissies. “The Field” is the new horror set to scare audiences to the bone. A film so horrific it even makes Jason tremble and Freddy wish he was dreaming.
The blissful, tranquil country side a relaxing weekend to allow Mark to relax with his friends just one last time. It is the few months before Mark, Chloe, John and Tasha go their separate ways in life and they decide to have one last weekend together to properly say their goodbyes they pack up and leave the city to relax just them no outsider influences but the world is a new world. Endlessly expanding developing but to what end?
A new wonder wheat has been produced by top American scientists and has been said to be able to end starvation in the world and be used as a new source of energy. Despite the Americans inventions the first major and currently only plantation lies in the UK who previously denied growth of such crops as this isn’t just any crop it’s GM. Kept under wraps by both American and English governments can this wheat truly be the answer?
The villagers that Mark and co originally meet seem distant at times but friendly none the less they appreciate the sentiment of the groups trip and aim to please their guest to their secluded farming town. As night falls things begin to make a terrible turn for the worst as villagers turn savage, feral and start to kill innocent and track down anyone like a pack of wolves. But what is it that makes the villagers turn so violent?
A new take on the zombie type film jam packed with more tension and fear then ever. Beautifully crafted use of editing and screen play set the mood for the terror factor that is “The Field”. This chilling tale is one not to be missed.
