    Micro budget or not, it's just a bad movie

    OK, I can respect the small budget and actually the idea had hope, but the writers to use swears words constantly gets really tiring, no character development.

    And at least get the country of origin of the car you are complaining about, right! It really had hope, the idea was almost there, just needed a little bit more creativity, character development and fun from the people in it, that is not about a budget.

    I wish I could right more about this movie, I just can't really get creative with it, maybe it's contagious

    Watch it and form your own opinion, fast forward is your friend :)

    somehow (against all odds) even worse than his first film

    Officer Tony Brown chooses to relocate to the small town of Adams in Massachusetts after he gets fed up with all the crime of big city life. But he soon comes to realize that both the local sheriff as well as the townspeople are part of a plan to lead unsuspecting out-of-towners, such as hitchhikers and people with car troubles, into the woods to get slaughtered by scarecrows.

    This movie has a lot going against it, atrocious acting, slow pacing,characters that are extremely unlikable (for no good reason whatsoever), it's relatively bloodless, and the parts that try (too hard) to add humor are just cringe-worthy. I usually support independent cinema so I gave Geno McGahee a second chance to impress me after the cinematic sludge that was "Evil Awakening", but as mind-numbingly awful as that film was, this second attempt is actually somehow worse.

    Eye Candy: Amanda Negro gets fully nude in a gratuitous shower scene, it's not nearly enough to make the film watchable though

    My Grade: D-

    Please don't waste your time on this movie

    This is my first review on IMDb.com, I don't really write reviews, but this movie really pi**** me of much that i had to.

    This movie is taken with a Regular Camera, and the Acting performed by team is Awful, Editing is even worse. I was so mad that i could not stop myself from writing this review.

    I got this movie, just because it had over 7 stars, but I did not know whoever voted for this movie was actually the person who worked in the movie, not even 1 Single LEGIT star( I believe ).

    I think its safe to say "My Grand mother can make a movie better then THIS ONE".

    Do not waste your time even looking at the title of this movie.

    The awesome power of Windows Movie Maker.......

    For any young directors who may be shy of making a video (or anyone on YouTube for that matter) this film will cure your apathy. Trust me.

    Here, let me sum the whole thing up: Some guy got a new video camera and decided to make an amateur movie. THAT'S IT! There is nothing else to this film. The dialog is funny at certain points. There is no sound stage. No make-up or wardrobe. There is a constant humming in the background. All the characters are laughable and...how this so-called film was able to get distributed on DVD is beyond me. Yet, I give it a 5 out of 10 for their boldness. Oh... and displaying the power of Windows Movie Maker.

    time to QUIT the biz

    Let's be honest, most of us would give this so-called movie a zero if we could. I guarantee the high voters were all IN this sad attempt at movie making. What happened is this- a sad guy with dreams of movie making rounded up coworkers and friends and said "wanna be in a movie"? For those that answered, "I've never acted", the answer was "no problem". Not true, there are many, many problems. These people cannot write leaps to mind first. No budget, I can overlook that, but zero talent cannot be overlooked. For them the answer seems to be, nothing to say?, just swear. Other than actually calling this mess a movie at all, what bothers me is a guy running around calling himself a film maker, but not wanting to actually work. No effort to train himself or his "staff", no decent rehearsals or rewrites, no re-filming when the sound, picture, direction, acting, script, etc. is complete garbage. It seems that the only thing going here is a total amateur with the ability to get a piece of film unworthy of high school drama class quality to DVD. I'm completely serious to say that I would be embarrassed to put my name anywhere near this guy and his pretend work. If you must continue your "craft", go to school and get a clue.
