Escape the Field – Director Emerson Moore

In Emerson Moore’s latest film, ESCAPE THE FIELD, the fear is inescapable and the suspense non-stop when six complete strangers suddenly awaken in a remote, endless cornfield. Stripped of their possessions, they are left with only six items: a gun with a single bullet, matches, a lantern, a knife, a compass, and a flask of water. As mysterious sirens blare in the distance and traps appear at every turn, the group realizes it’s been plunged into a cat-and-mouse game with an unseen evil, and survival depends upon solving a diabolical – and deadly – puzzle in this non-stop, horror thriller. ESCAPE THE FIELD is careful balance of drama, tension and fear, combined with survival, anticipation and violence. Inspired by films like Jaws, The Ring and The Conjuring, director and co-writer Emerson Moore creates strong characters and a visual style that is kinetic – forward momentum with presence and purpose.
