Scarecrows

The movie is by no means great, but it has some reasonable acting a few laughs. But the story is still all the same old same old. There was something i just liked about the movie. I thought it was reasonably made, with descent acting. Not your high class horror, but this was a fun watch on a sunday afternoon.

If you haven't seen this film you've certainly seen one like it: two guys and two gals go down to the woods, or in this case a cornfield and a lake, and...Obviously the guys have the girls on their minds while something nasty is out there intent on turning them into toast, or in this case literal scarecrows.

The film is more scatalogical than most of the genre, if you can believe that, but the innuendo and sexual adventures don't last long as they are kidnapped by the faceless psychopath and dragged off to his lair. There is a bit more to it than that, but not a lot, the usual wanton sadism and the sadly predictable ending. Give this one a miss.

I have to admit that when I first started this, I figured I was in for a terrible film. This one was surprisingly good and pretty much well acted. The kill scenes were fun as well. Definitely a good one to watch.

This is just a typical low budget slasher, but it's not as bad as you'd think. Ok so the main four characters - four horny college kids on a road trip - are a pretty unlikeable bunch, you honestly don't care what happens to them. But they're not bad actors and they carry the movie along pretty well. The movie doesn't actually pick up until halfway through, the first half is just teens skinny dipping, having sex and cheating on one another, then getting lost in a cornfield owned by a psycho farmhand - it's pretty boring (except for a rogue dismembered thumb and a body stashed in a scarecrow).

Second half is standard run and hide from the psycho. It's predictable, not particularly scary or suspenseful and it seems to have 'borrowed' a few ideas from other more successful horror movies. But I didn't hate it. It's not the worst way to spend 90 minutes.

Seriously, how hard is it to make a good Scarecrow based horror movie? Here we spend the first 30 minutes or so getting some "character" development from some of the worst actors ever. The characters are unlikable and you don't care when they're all drug off one by one to become scarecrows in this God awful flick. The final minutes? Are they suppose to be suspenseful or frustrating? It's neither of those, it's just another cop out with an ending you see coming a mile away. I see some 10 star ratings here, I'd bet you anything that those came from the cast, or crew of this flick. Don't waste any money on this one, it's not worth it at all.
