Fantastic Good Bad Movie
This movie was awesome. It is bad, and terrible and just written really well.It's essentially a GOOD BAD MOVIE! Kid you not. This movie is intentionally bad and comical. The story is about a family who moves to a new location but is stalked humorously by the Field Freak. The dad is excellent with is poor word usages and choice and overacting. The wife is terrific and injects humor and has great chemistry. They BOTH understand that this movie is trying to be intentionally bad and humorous and act spot on to portray that. It has bits of dark comedy and even the son gets in on the action. The son is terrific. His reactions seem very genuine as he also seems to understand they are making a bad movie intentionally. It's like they intentionally made the family like they're in Leave it to Beaver and they played their roles that way. If you like bad movies...this is a 10. It has dark humor and comedy and intelligent. The lines are terrific and its refreshing to see a movie that wants to be bad and does it.The overacting is great and worth the effort to watch. 5 out of 10 and worth the watch. Fan of bad movies 10 out of 10.
Excellent film. Laughed til I cried.
If you have not seen FIELD FREAK, then RUN to your nearest video store, or streaming provider to catch this flick. It is so worth the watch. Where do I start with this film? I LOVED IT!! The feature is beautifully filmed in glorious locations throughout Illinois and Iowa. I was impressed by the expert cinematography to lull the audience into a sense of peace. Then thwack them with the hilarious homages to various films present in the movie. It was well acted, and brilliantly written. I laughed until I cried. This is a "quotable" film, so if you enjoy quoting films throughout the day to co-workers and friends, this is perfect for you. Well done to everyone involved. Bravo, Stephen and Cast. Thanks for a very enjoyable evening.
It's a parody, folks! ***Spoilers***
I thought that this was a good parody of all the creature/killers in the woods movies that have been made over the years. There are elements of the early work of Sam Raimi, and even The Creature From The Black Lagoon, and Cat People. The story involves three basic stock characters: The awkward dad, the put-upon wife and the whiny young son. They move from Chicago to a place in the middle of nowhere called Beaver Pelt Falls, so the dad can write his next book. Add to these, the crazed Ned who, as a child, was supposedly mauled by the creature called "Field Freak"; and Jerry, the just plain weird pest control guy who doesn't have a clue. A couple of the things that bothered me were that some scenes could be a bit tighter editing-wise, and a few of the outdoor scenes are a little too washed out. Also, while I like the poster for this movie, it's misleading and doesn't really fit the comical mood. Granted, the "Field Freak" creature is some guy running around in bad fur and rubber costume. Some people might make a big deal about it, but, when viewed as a comedy, that just added another layer of humor to the film. None of the actors are well known, which is great because you don't know what to expect from them. I also thought that there were quite a few camera angles that were better than the norm of many films. When you watch a movie like this, you have to compare it to others like it in style, scope and budget. I think that Field Freak raises the bar once you understand that it's making fun of all of those typical, low-budget horror films.
NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE STRENGTH OF A BEAVER
The Bear family head out to a cabin in the woods so dad (Dave Juehring ) can write his novel. Charles is dorky and uses phrases like "dag-gone-it." Mom (Trena Penson) is close to June Clever, while their asthmatic child Lonnie (Tristan Coppola) over uses his inhaler. The family is pestered by the "Field Freak" who actually hides in a cave in the woods and not any field. There are a couple of quirky characters added to satirize cabin in the woods style movies. The film is campy by design, something you should be aware of when Charles first opens his mouth...otherwise it is really sad acting. The location is claimed to be Idaho, but the actual filming took place in Milan, Ill. Note the "LEAF ILL" carved into the rock wall behind the exterminator (Thomas Ely Sage) as he walks by late in the film. The beast is supposed to be a giant beaver or something. It was a man in a modified gorilla suit with claws. At no time does the kid say "red rum" like that other film with writer's block. While the film is funny in parts, it drags in other, i.e. loses entertainment value. Guide: F-word. Hear people have sex, no nudity
Comedic-Horror OK if you like that sub-genre
In general, I do not like comedic-horror, though I've seen a handful I can appreciate. This movie, "Field Freak", has a tone reminiscent of "Dead Alive", though the similarities end there. I can re-watch "Dead Alive" once a year. I don't think I wasted any time on "Field Freak", but I won't have any desire to watch it again. I think the humor is for people who think "farting" and yelling simpletons are worthy of mention in movies. Yuck. What grabbed me was the music. Wonderfully light-hearted at the beginning and wherever else appropriate, and different from anything I might have expected. I say give it a shot; I think it's got much to appreciate. And I *know* there are people out there for whom this will be very funny and re-watchable.
