Take a trip into the past with Sightseers director Ben Wheatley

A Field In England , the experimental new film from Ben Wheatley, has released a first trailer online.

The film - which is set to be released simultaneously in cinemas, on DVD and on TV - follows a group of Civil War deserters, who flee battle in search of buried treasure, and chance upon a mushroom field.

They’re not just any mushrooms though, and it’s not long before their psychedelic effects take hold.

Co-starring Wheatley regular Michael Smiley (in what looks like another chilling performance) with Reece Shearsmith and Julian Barratt, Field looks set to be one of 2013’s most challenging and trippy.

Watch the new trailer below to get an idea of what to expect:

A Field In England gets a multi-platform release on 5 July 2013, in cinemas, on free TV, DVD and video-on-demand.
