YAMID = Yet Another Movie ID

I just saw the movie "Escape the Field" [a] which
reminded me of a kind of similar reject I watched
a few months ago on, I dunno, maybe SyFy or another
home of trash.

Theme was a bunch of strangers wake up in a field
and have to run to freedom.

They have no idea where they are.

While trying to get out, they run into
lots of deadly obstacles, which I think
(but might be misremembering) some land mines.

What I do recall is some of them finding
a road and... there's a small grocery store
which turns out to be one of the traps.

Sound at all familiar? Thanks

/The Hunt/.

It may have been on SyFy, but I wouldn't call it trash.

It satirizes all sides.

Yep, that's it.

So what do you call something that even the garbage
collectors would turn down?

Thanks!

A typical Hollweird movie.

I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky
dirty old man.

Who can say? I have no garbage collectors that I know to ask what
movies they would turn down if given the opportunity to watch them.

The Condemned (2007) ??

Both films follow a group of strangers who wake up in a mysterious
place with no memory of how they got there. They must fight for their
lives as they are hunted by armed mercenaries.

Both films take place in a remote and dangerous location. In
"Escape the Field," the characters are trapped in a
cornfield. In "The Condemned," the characters are trapped on
a remote island.

Both films feature a diverse group of characters with different
backgrounds and skills. They must work together to survive and find a
way to escape.

Both films feature a variety of deadly obstacles that the characters
must overcome in order to survive. These obstacles include land mines,
booby traps, and dangerous creatures.

In both films, the characters have no idea who is behind the deadly
game they are trapped in. They must use their wits and skills to
uncover the truth and find a way to escape.
