"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)

I won that film for wearing a good costume on a Halloween fancy dress night at a pub. I would not recommend this film and think it should be discontinued. If you are interested in seeing it by all means borrow it from someone who has it already but don't waste your money on purchasing it. Worse than Nightmare on Elm Street I'd say which is quite old now, that involves people getting killed by some demon but in the end turns out to be a bad dream and everyone is alive and well. It's pretty unclear how Fields of the Dead ends, one of the survivors discovers something but I don't know what exactly. It would be better if the film continued where the mystery is solved and reversed.

I should have paid heed to the low rating reviews of this movie here on IMDb. Oh how I wish that I had. This movie is really as bad as the reviews made it out to be, and then some.

The movie is about a group of young people at a remote farm, surrounded by a seemingly endless field and with an otherworldly evil stalking them.

Right, well the idea was not too bad, but it is just something that has been done and seen in many other other horror movies, such as the classic "Evil Dead" movie to mention but a single one.

But the movie just was as far from interesting as it could possibly be. And I quickly found myself with my phone and dividing my attention between the movie and phone. And I wasn't missing out on anything, unless you consider an unfathomably dull storyline, questionable acting, lousy dialogue and sheer boredom as missing out on a cinematic experience.

This movie came and went, and left no lasting impression or mark in any way. It will most likely be long forgotten the following day after having seen it.

So, do take notice of all the bad reviews or the rated score of the movie, and stay well clear of this snoozefest.
