2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams

2010 · 86 min

A gleefully trashy splatter-comedy romp that winks at reality TV while drenching everything in cheap, cartoonish gore.

Tagline
If They Kill You, They Will Come!
Overview
When this year's round of unsuspecting Northerners fail to show up for their annual Guts N' Glory Jamboree, the residents of Pleasant Valley take their cannibalistic carnival on the road and head to Iowa where they encounter spoiled heiresses Rome and Tina Sheraton, the cast and crew of their "Road Rascals" reality show. Performing "The Bloodiest Show on Earth", our Southern Maniacs prove more than ratings killers in what John Landis has called "one of the rare sequels that surpasses the original".
