A Field in England

• No trivia unlocked yet.

• The field itself may represent a liminal space between life and death, or even a purgatorial realm where the characters are trapped in a cycle of violence and futile quests—a metaphor for the futility of war and human ambition.

• The alchemist O'Neil could symbolize the corrupting influence of knowledge and power, with his obsession for treasure mirroring humanity's destructive pursuit of material or esoteric gain, regardless of the cost.

• The mushroom circle, a recurring motif in folklore, may signify a gateway to the supernatural or a conduit for the field's latent malevolence, suggesting that the characters' descent into madness is not entirely self-inflicted but influenced by external forces.

• The film's ambiguous ending—where the survivors emerge from the field but remain psychologically scarred—implies that the true horror is not the treasure or the field itself, but the irreversible damage wrought by trauma and complicity.

• Some interpretations posit that the characters are already dead, their journey through the field a metaphorical representation of their souls processing guilt and betrayal from their past lives during the Civil War.

During the Civil War in 17th-Century England, a small group of deserters flee from a raging battle through an overgrown field. They are captured by an alchemist, who 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.
