Lionsgate’s Escape the Field is now playing in select theaters and On Demand. The home release date has just been announced and to celebrate, we have a brand new clip, titled “Maybe He Knows.”. “The fear is inescapable and the suspense nonstop in this gripping horror-thriller about six strangers who suddenly awaken in a remote, endless cornfield.

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 and Sean Wathen co-wrote the film with director Emerson Moore.
