During the Civil War in 17th-Century England, a small group of deserters flee from a raging battle through an overgrown field. They are captured by an alchemist, who forces the group to aid him in his search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field. Crossing a vast mushroom circle, which provides their first meal, the group quickly descend into a chaos of arguments, fighting and paranoia, and, as it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, they slowly become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field.

User Reviews
this undoubtably trippy film is surreal & errie. it has a patient pace that leaves the viewer time to ponder it's dark mystery
A trippy historical horror. Just what you’d expect from Ben Wheatley.
Quite a bizarre ride! Might require a second watch to grasp it completely, but a quality film in general
An interesting concept film hampered by occasional indulgent scenes and a meandering pace, with austere performances that keep with the tone
It's like they were on shrooms or something.
My only wish for this is more fiber near the end. It's definitely a good watch, with a plot that's as trippy as the mushrooms they eat.
Ever feel like a movie was made for you? Odd, esoretic, deep symbolism, incredibly visual; John Dee's occult shroom trip in film form.
Definitely not for everyone, a bizarre but good watch if you’re into arthouse, great use of techniques
A spiritual successor to The Seventh Seal and one of the most interesting movies to come out in recent years.
It’s extremely experimental and I just don’t think I was ready for it
