How to Beat the DEATH MAZE in ESCAPE THE FIELD

[@ethanhawksley9097]

As someone who worked in a corn maze, I have one major gripe with this movie: Corn leaves fucking hurt. They cut you like nobody’s business, even if you’re just in there for a bit. Doing anything other than casually going through it will get you cut. And, here’s the kicker, corn has major oils on its leaves. You get cut by one of those things, and it stings like hell because of the oil on the leaves. Corn mazes also cultivate a very special kind of mushroom which is only found in corn mazes. In peak season, the stuff is all over the place. I’m not exactly sure if you can do anything with them, but it’s worth noting that I see none in this movie.

[@erinw.9256]

The corn around my area doesn't grow tall enough for a maze.

[@Canadian_Zac]

@@torito2182 Though unless you already knew this. Generally not a good idea to eat Mushrooms unless you know. Same goes for really any unidentified plants. There's a lot of poisonous things out there. Hell, could eat the bugs that are crawling on the rotten corn. Cook them up and Bugs give great protein. Not much calories, but not like there's any shortage of them

[@DropXplode]

I love the fact that whenever they are still, they talk in a clearing, and whenever they are moving its a path. but whenever it's like an Arial or top shot, there are no paths or clearings. All the stalks are close together

@True_Scu well yeah but still you look around no gaps then there is spontaneously one but yeah they need to get shots and all and not be so up close but it's just bad like at least make the corn go all over the place not in perfect rows 2 inches apart but come on at least make it look descent

Just a small idea here towards the end with the shipping container: climb on top of it. Easily defendable spot where you can kick the killer in the face and if need be, you can burn the corn with the match as well.

[@socketyellow3]

Might have saved the guy, but a super soldier would eventually get up there. I’m amazed she managed to push him in the container. Even with him panicking about the fire

I’d love to see Netflix produce a horror film with Nerd Explains and have it just end after 60seconds when the character makes a sensible decision and avoids getting involved.

[@mjstcseaflapflap9479]

It could be an entire series of short films.

[@JuriAmari]

Jordan Peele has basically proved that you can have an entertaining horror film with wise protagonists. A series wouldn’t be too hard; A seemingly inescapable situation (i.e. no law enforcement, no outside contact, and high stakes for avoiding/leaving the situation) is all they need to make this interesting.

[@hmxbox]

@@JuriAmari joke went so far over your head you may need to get checked out by a otolaryngologist

[@Samstaf]

@@hmxbox they didn't pick apart the joke, they just explained that although most horror movies thrive on stupid protagonists, there can still be good horror movies with wise protagonists. they also explained what kind of situations can allow wise protagonists. "cabin in the woods" type movies don't allow smart protagonists because the answer is always "call emergency services and/or leave". your joke was good, but no need to be snarky to someone who makes a sensible response.

[@AustinFoss00]

I appreciate that the military dude, even with the red angry serum, was able to stay a good teammate and never actually hurt any of the other good characters. He would have straight up killed the main bad guy had he not fallen in a trap. Why did they not immediately give him the knife? Why would they allow the 2 short girls to carry the knife when the group literally had a soldier in it smh

[@dchappell05]

Spoiler alert: post credit scene Ala Avengers MCU style at the end of this movie, army guy succumbs to the effects of the red angry serum and becomes the thing that he had fought that was trying to kill them, and he tracks down and kills none other than......ANNOYING BRIT GIRL!!! (Grabs her by the neck and breaks it in two, and let's out a savage menacing feral Primal growl whilst doing it)

[@gabrielbernard5440]

Because survival people know how to do without. Give the close range weapons to the people who can not be trusted with long range weapons(shooting each other ya know), and get yourself something else.

[@coraleesmells]

i think i would be a bit wary of giving a soldier i don’t know a weapon, since you don’t know if they are suffering from PTSD. i also think that the people will no combat experience will most likely need the protection more, but then again they could be more easily disarmed and may not be able to use the weapon as effectively. best to try to find a weapon for everyone!

One thing to note about wall-following is that it only works on simple/fair mazes. Another method called Trémaux's algorithm will get you out of complex mazes (like with disconnected sections) every time though! But it definitely wouldn’t be the fastest way out. Great video as always!!!!

Inb4 A few years from now, Nerd goes insane from making so many vids about dumb survivors.

If I described this as the mutant love child of Saw and Predator I would probably making this sound much better than it actually is. Because it's a truly painful experience to sit through such spurious tripe. It becomes borderline parody when you see the guy covered in mud coming face to face with this strange humanoid jungle…predator…yeah it's basically that scene from Predator just really atrociously done. Also the glasses girl in the movie really got on my nerves!

[@RequiemPoete]

There was a film called Cube similar to this. Randoms wake up alone in cube shaped rooms. Some are death traps, and some are safe. Each person was picked because they had a necessary skill set to navigate, like an architect who worked on part of the structure or math major to decipher the clues to determine safe rooms or skills needed to keep the group together, like a cop for leadership or a psychiatrist to tend to the group's mental health. However, each was also selected due to a flaw. The cop was violent and had a thing for young girls. The math expert was just a high-school girl, and prone to be emotional, the shrink was a conspiracy nut. So each had a needed skill, but each had a flaw that could tear the group apart.

[@MorganVsTheInternet]

I thought it was like the bastard child of Saw and Children of the Corn. 😅

[@Samstaf]

@@RequiemPoete the original cube movie is far better than this though, because all the characters feel real, and you can actually emotionally attach to them. they are very similar plot wise, I just wish this movie was even close to as good as cube

The key to quicksand is to realize quicksand isn't a thing. There isn't a combination of sand+water that makes you sink, you'll either be able to climb out or float/swim out. Did no one see that episode of Mythbusters?

[@gabrielbernard5440]

Now if you have corn or in generall grains that will act like quick sand, then you are dead. Still kills a couple of people a year who should know better than to walk on top of grains in a container or silo without safety gear and stabile footing put on it.. You will be gone so fast you will not even realise what has happened and be crushed by the weight of the grains around you. Grains shift like sand, but if it gets wet, it will stick together, but the grain below that plate will shift, and sink lower(while that little wetness, with the little stickiness will keep the grains in place, for now), and there will a pocket of nothingness under the glued together grain( that seems as if it is stable). Looks no different to normal grain, except when you step on it...one step, nothing, two steps, it crumbles and you fall into the hollow below while an avalance of tons of corn falls down on you...even if they could get you out in the next few seconds, the weight of the corn would have crushed you already. The adhesion caused by residual moisture, will break down in an instant and all that corn that held itself together like a very brittle cluster of crumbs, gets loose. It is amazing, and deathly. No warning, nothing, you will be burried in grains before your ears can register the noise of thunder that comes from the tumbling grain. Same happens on dunes where plant matter like dead trees have rotted away and caused a brittle hollow, only held up by the residue of moisture in the sand, some plant roots and the rotten down tree matter. And if you step on it, it will break, you will fall and all that sand falls on top of you and you are dead. That is true quick sand. If you(or rather someone else) are lucky, a body part of you sticks out or someone saw you vanish, otherwise your body will stay there and rot and be the cause of the next quick sand event when you are broken down enough
