Synopsis
Drafthouse Films, the film distribution arm of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, has acquired North American rights to original horror film A Field in England, the fourth feature film from writer/director Ben Wheatley. The film stars Reece Shearsmith (“The League of Gentlemen”) and Kill List’s Michael Smiley and features Julian Barrett (“The Mighty Boosh”) in a small role.
Billed as “a psychedelic trip into magic and madness,” A Field in England follows a group of English Civil War soldiers in the 17th century who are captured by an alchemist and led into a vast mushroom field, where they fall victim to violent and nightmarish forces.
A US theatrical and VOD release is planned for later this year.
