good back-story, and good acting

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Even by the standards of no-budget direct-to-DVD fare, this is pretty bad. I can live with the amateurish lighting and questionable acting, such are the pitfalls of limited finances, but creativity and originality don't cost a penny and 'The Maze' is sorely lacking in both. The entire blame for this fiasco can be laid at the feet of the two writers who don't so much craft a screenplay as string together a series of loosely connected genre clichés. We're used to our horror characters behaving stupidly, but few are as stupid as those depicted here. Grown adults playing tag in a corn field in the middle of the night? Really? Grown adults who don't seem to realize that corn rows do not constitute an impenetrable barrier? And shouldn't the psycho killer be just a little bit scary? Or at least intimidating? Not a skinny kid who could, in reality, be immobilized by a girl scout with her hands tied? And why so squeamish about blood and violence? Sheesh.Not even bad-in-a-good-way. Just plain bad.

After seeing some of the reviews I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this film but I got it anyway and watched it with my friends. Yes it had its fair share of cheesy acting, slow pacing, and low budget feel but I have to agree with some of the other reviewers. This movie was obviously made to be a low budget film and I found most of the reviews on here are to harsh. I especially enjoyed the the twist in the story. Overall, I would say its worth watching, just don't expect a multi million dollar film. Or even a million dollar film. However if you do make sure it is in the right setting, with a group of friends or people that can enjoy a good low budget horror film.

One of the positives about this film is the fact that I only heard 2 swear words. Honestly, I can't state any other positives. The film is painfully slow, the characters are painfully stupid and the psychotic killer, who can't be stopped by grown men, is easily pushed over by women half his size. He runs like the wind but can't catch a man carrying a woman. If you enjoy people walking through a corn maze at tortoise like speed, by all means, watch this film. I've never actually seen too many actors walk by rocking side to side, as if to simulate walking. One of the male characters is so helplessly weak that he basically lies down and dies rather than run through what must be impenetrable walls of corn. Corn must be made out of brick now since no one considers veering off the path to escape. This is probably the WORST film I have ever seen and I've seen a lot of films... I'm nearly 50 years old. A-MAZE-ing-ly terrible.... OUCH!

I don't know what the worst part of this movie is. The acting, the story, or the dragging pace.The ending, though not typical, is unsatisfying and it comes after what can only be described as 10 minutes of stupid. Though, that seemed to be the main theme of this film.Five friends in a corn maze at night, one psycho and a bumbling country police force. All the elements of a b-grade slasher flick, but without the charm of one.There is very little lead in, and, after an inexplicable opening sequence which is not explained at all, the action starts withing a few minutes. There is no character development whatsoever before the characters start getting picked off.There is the typical lone-survivor-faces-killer-in-one-on-one-showdown, before escaping. That happens with 30 minutes to go. Then comes the "twist" which is less of a twist and more of an eye-roll.Cue weird and unnecessary flashback reminding the audience of what they just saw - you know - in case your short term memory prevents you from remembering more than 10 minutes of your life at any one time.It's not scary, it's not tense. Despite the opening scene, which is rather good, it is never explained and the rest of the movie is very poor by comparison.Of all the movies I've seen this year, this ranks as the worst. Look for it soon in the ex-rental bargain bin of your local video store.
