Escape the Field is one of those thriller films that you want to see only once. It was released in the United States on April 30th, 2022. The film garnered middling scores from both audiences and critics, but a thriller is a thriller, and the story compels us to discuss it here. The film lasts about 90 minutes and is completely satisfactory.
Among the cast members, the only ones I’d seen before were Theo Rossi (as Tyler) from Sons of Anarchy (2008), Army of the Dead (2021), and Luke Cage; he’s a wonderful actor who doesn’t get enough credit. If you’ve seen Umbrella Academy, you’ll recognize Jordan. Claire Robbins (as Sam); also plays Grace, the series’ robot mother.
Shane West portrays Ryan, Julian Feder plays Ethan, Elena Juatco plays Denise, and Tahirah Sharif plays Cameron, among others.
Six strangers awaken in a cornfield, each with a survival item, being pursued by something unusual, and it’s not just the six of them. Though the film ended, the game continues, leading us to suppose that a sequel is on the way, but that’s for later. For the time being, we’ll just have to wait and watch what happens in the film and how it ends.
Recap Of The Film Escape From The Field
The film begins with Sam waking up in the midst of a cornfield, gasping for air and grabbing a single-shot revolver. Tyler finds her and comforts her; he also has a pack of matches. Along the way, they come upon Ryan with a lamp, Denise with a knife, and Ethan with a compass.
The group encounters a terrified Cameron, but Ryan thinks it odd that she didn’t discover anything near her. While they are relaxing, a man in a suit enters, counting from one to six, and as they are ready to speak with him, something attacks from behind. Ryan runs after the monster, Tyler follows, and Denise and Cameron flee.
Cameron is injured, but Sam saves her and they relax for a while, telling stories; discussing her disagreement with her girlfriend, Tyler discusses his daughter, and Sam discusses her 36-hour no-friends shift. Cameron and Denise have time to listen to nature’s call, but Ryan discovers Cameron drinking water, which she discovers.

Denise is attacked when they are confronting her, but the gang must proceed. They quickly realize, however, that they have returned to square one. But this time, Sam realizes that the instruments’ main purpose was to lead them to a hint and assist them to open it.
There is a considerable dispute, but everyone follows Sam’s lead to return to the tree; as Ryan begins to move, the scarecrow injects him. After a while, the red liquid begins to take effect, and Ryan begins to lose it, and Ryan opens up to Sam about his trip to Afghanistan and the red liquid.
They decipher the map on the tree with the help of the lamp, but Tyler is injured when he is tapped by a weird object. Cameron, on the other hand, murders Ethan in the heat of the moment, and Ryan begins to transform into something horrible.
Sam and Tyler discover another scarecrow, but this time it has a control panel attached to it, and by entering a specific 0 and 1 pattern, a pathway in the field opens. Following the course, they come across a fiber structure that shows them the potential trap sites. Sam places a hurt Tyler in the container and moves on to the next problem. On the way, she notices Ryan, who is red-eyed and covered in muck.
Explanation Of The Escape The Field Ending
Sam notices a stabbed Ethan and walks ahead to assist him, but is assaulted by the mutated hunter, and a fight ensues. Ryan nearly kills the hunter before becoming entangled in one of the traps. Sam reaches Tyler and places the knife into the machine.
They both pull on the lever, but nothing happens. Their bliss is fleeting. We finally glimpse a camera view, indicating that we are being watched. As Sam is about to burn the machine, the mutant hunter appears, stabs Tyler, and begins chasing Sam. He stabs her in the back.
Sam, on the other hand, lights him on fire with the matches, shoves him inside the container, and locks it. We witness Sam die outside the container near the end and a rushing man. Cameron encounters six individuals and begins to repeat, “it’s repeating.” Ryan drags her and kills her before they can speak to her, explaining that everything will repeat itself.
