Critic Reviews

Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
A merciless chore of a movie.
R. L. Shaffer, IGN DVD
Field of Screams will have its fans. It's certainly gory, crass, riddled with female nudity and off-the-wall antics. But the narrative never amounts to anything interesting.

One of the worst movies i've seen in a long time....The first 2001 was ok not a masterpiece but was fun enough to be good.This one just seem so low budget and low rent.The acting is the worst ive seen in years and Bill Moseley got to be one of the worst actors around at the moment..Just stay clear of this turkey at all costs...I just cant believe this was made be the director of the first 2001 Maniacs..

Poor follow up to a well made remake. A few gory moments and some juvenile laughs done Troma style but its poor audio, bad editing and unlikeable cast bury this one deep.

An absolute failure of a film. The first 2001 Maniacs was an enjoyable film. Gruesome, humorous, but most of all fun. It was also a well-made film. This is a completely different story. A hundred steps back from the previous film. Sullivan returns, but his budget and skills do not.… More
An absolute failure of a film. The first 2001 Maniacs was an enjoyable film. Gruesome, humorous, but most of all fun. It was also a well-made film. This is a completely different story. A hundred steps back from the previous film. Sullivan returns, but his budget and skills do not. The first major problem is that this is shot on digital. It looks fucking disgusting. Like a home movie. Every shot is flat, lifeless, with a very limited amount of artistic imagery or thought put into it. There's no clever use of lighting or color, just point the camera and shoot. The acting is painful at best. It even has Jar-Jar Binks in it. The original wasn't going to win Oscars, but at least they carried the film through to its conclusion. The replacement cast are mostly Z grade. Only Mosely captures a bit of entertainment. Harper, a supposedly good looking character, is now a hideous guy, and the sheep is no longer a real sheep, it's a stuffed animal. Failing to get Englund back is one thing, failing to get a real sheep...? It's a horrible experience this film so just skip it. Watch 2001 Maniacs, as this film can't even afford a village full of people.

This time it's "The Simple Life Parody." The acting was just horrible, so much cheaper looking than the first one, without all the fun. This sequel is more focused on the comic side of the plot: Satirical hard-core "Hebrew" cameraman, "Black" bitchy boom operator Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, closeted gay boyfriend, random punk ass boyfriend, Latino "Jokes" driver, blonde slut. The amount of the hillbillies were reduced to the point that I wanted to cry: Robert Englund was gone, Lin Shaye has to single handedly do everything with the new members: China Rose (All the asian jokes comes here) The soundtrack did not even show any effort, just randomly putting songs at places. The only thing good about this film was the amount of eye candies in the film, P.s. Half of the folks don't even have Southern accent anymore.

Has its gory scenes but not as gory as you may expect. It offers some chuckles with some situations but I got tire of all the silliness and pathetical acting, though it is at moments entertaining, it is most of the time painful to watch. This sequel doesn't live up to the first… More

This sequel doesn't live up to the first and I am not looking for the 3er installment. I had enough!
