Ben Wheatley’s ‘A Field in England’ Trailer

Here’s the newly released UK trailer for Ben Wheatley‘s upcoming film A Field in England, which looks like it’s going to be a beautiful nightmare of a film, and we cannot wait for its release.

The film takes place during the English Civil War and focuses on two deserters who become captured by two men, who then look for treasure, however after consuming some mushrooms in a large field, they decent into chaos and madness.

The film is set for a simultaneous UK theatrical and VOD release July 5th, however Drafthouse films, who picked up the distribution in the States, have not announced the release date yet over here.  We can only hope it will be soon thereafter.  Hit the jump for the trailer and synopsis.

England during the English Civil War. A small group of deserters flee from a raging battle through an overgrown field. They are captured by two men: O’Neil and Cutler. O’Neil (Michael Smiley), an alchemist, forces the group to aid him in his search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field. Crossing a vast mushroom circle, which provides their first meal, the group quickly descend into a chaos of arguments, fighting and paranoia, and, as it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, they slowly become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field.
