Insights

Review Summary

Pros: amusing early stretch; tense forest survival; oddball character clashes | Cons: rough acting; inconsistent lighting and sound; little creature payoff

Will You Like This?

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a scrappy, cryptid-themed woods thriller with dark humor, messy personalities, and a grim turn, similar in spirit to Awaken or The Unseen; Not for you if you need polished production or clear creature action.

**_Looking for the thunderbird in the sticks of Kentucky_** A couple interested in cryptozoology and paranormal happenings are determined to record the first episode of their proposed investigation show. They assemble five others for a (dubious) crew and enter into the wilds of eastern Kentucky to find the mythological thunderbird, which they believe to be a Pteranodon. “Beasts of the Field” (2019) is a micro-budget Indie that only cost $30,000. It was shot in mid-September, 2018, and the many rain sequences are the peripheral effects of Hurricane Florence that hit the Carolinas. Obviously, you can’t expect much with such a non-budget but it’s generally entertaining with several highlights, assuming you don’t mind Indie productions with little resources and the corresponding limitations. For one, it’s genuinely amusing in the first half, before the situation turns grim. Secondly, the forest cinematography is colorful and well done, which will be appreciated by those who value movies with a deep-woods milieu. Also, Ashley Mary Nunes (Kyra) is stunning in the female department; and Savannah Schafer (Reid) is also notable. Lastly, there is a relevant moral to the story. It’s significantly superior to the comparable "Monsters in the Woods" (2012), which cost the same amount (not counting six years of inflation). The flick runs 1 hour, 17 minutes, and was shot in eastern Kentucky. GRADE: C+/B-
