10 Trippiest Horror Movies Of All Time

The fourth film from the brilliant Ben Wheatley (Kill List, Sightseers), A Field in England marked something of a departure for the filmmaker, shifting from contemporary genre fare to an acid-tipped historical horror set in mid-17th-century England in the midst of the English Civil War.

While certainly the most challenging and bewildering project Wheatley has mounted to date - definitely more so than his recent The Meg 2: The Trench - there's an undeniably hypnotic quality to this utterly lunatic trek through, well, a field in England.

Eschewing a penetrable narrative throughline in favour of increasingly uneasy imagery - especially once the focal group starts eating hallucinogenic mushrooms - Wheatley's film is truly one of cinema's most emphatic and unnerving depictions of a drug trip.

Again, it's by far Wheatley's least commercial and accessible offering to date, but nevertheless demonstrated his sure ability to find horror in a wholly unexpected place.
