Once again one of the actors from the film must be reviewing his own movie. I can guess which one. Why not a ten star review? Because it was so horrifically bad even the person trying to skew the numbers to try to sucker ANYONE into watching this trash couldn't even bring himself to give it ten stars. Add this to the list of low budget movies I couldn't even bring myself to finish watching. If the producers of this waste of time and money have any shame they will recall and burn every copy, send the ashes off into space, then issue a public apology for believing anyone would be so stupid as to actually want to watch this worthless piece of garbage. I could make a better movie utilizing my camera phone and a bunch of 5 year old children as cast AND crew. Premise is entirely unbelievable anyway, as anyone who has ever been into a corn maze knows all you have to do to get out is pick a direction and start walking. Its CORN for God's sake, not an adamantium force-field. Unfortunately people from Hollywood actually ARE this stupid, so they expect the general public to be as well. If you have any sense, you'll skip this worthless piece of trash. If you don't have any sense, skip it anyway. There are plenty of better things to do with your time, like stabbing yourself in the eye with a fork.
I watched this movie on Halloween with some friends in a dark room and you know it was actually fun. It is definitely a movie to watch as a group. It was your normal scares with loud music and things jumping out but that is why we decided to watch it in the first place. Setting it in a corn maze was interesting and I really liked the Alice in Wonderland motif throughout the film. I was a little confused at the beginning of the film, but then as it went on I started to get in to it and I let my early misgivings go and I enjoyed myself. If you go into this movie expecting something completely different then what you've ever seen in a horror movie before then you will be disappointed. If you want a fun scare that you don't have to think about then give it a chance and I think you will find you enjoyed yourself.
Wow, you guys are really harsh. I've seen a lot of horror films in my time and this is not the best but it is definitely not the worst. What were you guys looking for? This is clearly a small budget indie film and you're tearing it apart like it's a Hollywood blockbuster. I mean the first two-thirds are pretty slow but the ending wasn't horrible, it really made up for what we were experiencing while we were in the maze. I thought that following the killer was more inventive then ending it with the survivor just coming out of the maze. If you want a cheap thrill with your girlfriend that won't make her throw up by the end then this is your movie. I give it 5 stars for trying.
After seeing some of the reviews I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this film but I got it anyway and watched it with my friends. Yes it had its fair share of cheesy acting, slow pacing, and low budget feel but I have to agree with some of the other reviewers. This movie was obviously made to be a low budget film and I found most of the reviews on here are to harsh. I especially enjoyed the the twist in the story.
Overall, I would say its worth watching, just don't expect a multi million dollar film. Or even a million dollar film. However if you do make sure it is in the right setting, with a group of friends or people that can enjoy a good low budget horror film.
