Just ahead of its release, Lionsgate has shared an all-new clip for the horror-thriller Escape the Field, about a group of six strangers who must work together to solve a puzzle in order to survive. In the clip we see the group discovering that items they’ve found along the way can be used to operate things in the field such as water faucets and unlock new clues. “The fear is inescapable and the suspense nonstop in this gripping horror-thriller about six strangers who 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.” Joshua Dobkin
