Scareycrows

This is a low budget film that has used its budget to maximum effect and very cleverly. The idea is unique and works brilliantly. A town over run with possessed evil scareycrows. I don't like horrors generally I must admit, the exception is when they are funny, and scareycrows is funny. I won't do spoilers and so won't highlight moment but it is an educational in how simple a well placed gag can be and how it can make up for the lack of a sizeable budget. Most impressively this is Lucy Townsends directorial debut and is an impressive start to her career. I look forward to seeing what she does next.

If you liked Hot Fuzz, that film with Simon Peg, Scareycrows is right up your alley. This is a fun filled comedy horror fest. It is 100% pure entertainment. Can't be sure who had more fun, me watching or the cast and crew making the movie. Speaking of the cast, all strong performances. The director does an excellent job of keeping the camp and slapstick out and a funny realism in. Two thumbs up.

I've seen a lot of indie horror films and Scareycrows is now one of my favorites. It's a fun setup: the scarecrows setup all over a small town in England for a holiday celebration start attacking the residents. Some people amongst a young group of friends start disappearing and everyone is vulnerable to attacks from the scarecrows that appear EVERYWHERE around town.

As you could probably tell from the premise, Scareycrows mixes horror and comedy. The film is very well made for an independent film in all facets. Usually indie horror films are lacking in some department, but Scareycrows was well written, directed, and acted. Personally, I also enjoyed seeing a horror comedy in a small English town on the water since it just felt refreshingly different. For those who like horror/comedies, I highly recommend Scareycrows!

Went in expecting it to be a laughably poor movie made by amateurs. Whilst the low budget was obvious, this movie actually turned out to be quite good. The special effects were a bit lacking in places, but the story was written so that effects were rarely required. The result was a decent film where everyone involved clearly gave it their all in making the best of the limited funds. It is a movie that won't win any awards, but is hopefully a taster of those involved going on to bigger and better things.

For now, if you want to watch a slightly silly low budget horror movie, then this is a good time.

First off, it's original, 2ndly it's a fun ride, since Shaun of the Dead so many people have thrown that into a tagline but never delivered - well this one comes close, the love story is kinda weak but the scareycrow shenanigans is fun. This is for fans of Sharknado, Killer Donuts, just silly, fun, horror comedies that going it you know to expect the ridiculous.
