    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.

    The ultimate zero star effort. Just Awful

    Wow would be the first word to come to mind after watching this disaster of a movie. I have seen so many b grade films over the years and have really enjoyed them. I'm a huge supporter to the b genre and love to see young directors trying to make it in the film industry, but this one's just too much. There is not one thing positive to say about Rise of the Scarecrows no matter how hard you rack your brain. Prior to this I considered Full Moon to put out the worst movies ever but have been proved very wrong. At least Full Moon films have some entertaining qualities which could earn a few stars. This one deserves nothing above a zero.

    The story follows a few of the world's worst actors as they try to uncover the mystery behind a small towns zombie scarecrows. Somehow these scarecrows arise to take the lives of the remaining townspeople, but you'd never know it because they show nothing. The best you'll get is a view from the scarecrows eyes as he hunts someone down while they let out an amazingly fake scream. It's just awful. All you get is a group of terrible actors, a script that must have been written by a chimp, and home video camera quality. At all costs please avoid this film unless you are looking to waste time and money.

    The worse film I've ever seen.

    I watch quite a few low budget horror films, I kind of know what to expect. The acting is never great; the special effects are never great; the writing often has a few little holes. They usually have character and merit. But this film, from start to end, is just a new low for any type of film.

    The acting is the worst I've ever seen. The script is awful. The story is so weak and forced, that the writer had to keep characters saying certain things over and over again, or have them speak things out loud, while alone, just to make sure the viewer gets it. When, in fact, it's so dumb and simple, that everyone will have known before it was even spoke.

    Do not watch this movie. Ever.

    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.

    Don't even think about watching this.

    Is this 4 real looks like a bunch of kids grab a camera and film this I mean record because its made with a regular digital camera. Damn wow I just wasted my time watching this ,this movie has bad editing, bad acting and the director has to be the worst movie director ever. 4 real don't waste your time you been warn.

    like the guy above said My Grand mother can make a movie better ,even my 5 year old sister.

    I watch a lot a movies and by far this is the worst. if you want to waste your time you better watch Barney instead. to bad I can't put a 0 score . And 1 more thing some people are rating this movie really high even 10 stars rating and they are all from Massachusetts's I wonder why?? Please keep it real.
