2011 American crime film by Ami Canaan Mann
Texas Killing Fields (also known as The Fields) is a 2011 American crime film directed by Ami Canaan Mann and starring Sam Worthington, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jessica Chastain and Chloë Grace Moretz. It competed in the 68th Venice International Film Festival.
The film's screenplay was loosely inspired by the history of killings along 30-plus miles of the Interstate 45 (I-45) corridor between Houston and Galveston, in and around an area known as "the Killing Fields". The true events include the murders of women kidnapped from cities spread along the I-45 corridor and dumped in many areas, including various bayous surrounding the oil fields of Texas City, Texas. While in real life there have been several itinerant serial killers involved over the years, the film focuses on specific local Texas City suspects.
