Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

PodBill Just what I expected

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Lucabrasisleeps I was quite surprised by how much I liked this film. Generally I am not much of a fan of these sort of characters. I would have preferred if they were college kids or something. Not because of any nudity stuff but because I have seen quite a few movies with these type of characters (for eg.Predator). Btw these are robbers dressed in military fatigues.I did think maybe there was some overuse of music for a film like this. But the movie in general has none of the 80s cheesiness. It all seems fairly competent work unlike the dozens of crappy low budget crap in the 80s. The acting is pretty good too. I loved the female character, quite surprised to see she has only 1 acting credit.Great atmosphere throughout.I loved it, 8/10

atinder This is yet another first time watch.Its' started of little slow first, then get be intruding, there were really good creepy moment from the scarecrows.I liked how they turned the humans into scarecrows as a well, I did not expect that at all,There were some really bloody moments in this movie but the rest of the movie felt a little bland.This movie was a little to Dark in some scenes, you could not make it out what going on and the acting in this movie from the most of the cast was really poor, the girl worst of them all.5 out of 10 Not bad.

TOMASBBloodhound I'm not going to try and convince anyone that Scarecrows is a great horror film. It isn't. But considering the limitations of a no-name cast and tiny budget, this film is a lot better than it would appear to be on paper. I kind of remember seeing this as a kid, but a recent viewing was definitely worth the rental.The story is relatively simple, and the film is fairly short. A group of commandos rob a fortune from a military base and hijack a plane that will hopefully take them to Mexico. Of course there is no honor amongst thieves, and one of the guys jumps out with the money, hoping to get it all for himself. Unfortunately for everyone, this man happens to land on a deserted farm haunted by murderous scarecrows. Not only are they looking to carve up their victims, but they can also control your mind and make objects (like trucks with no engines) move on their own. The other commandos also land on this property, and by the end of the night, few of them are left to regret the decisions they have made.The film has kind of a hasty beginning where it doesn't quite feel sure of itself. Only after the entire group has landed does the good stuff begin. The film has several gory killings and scenes where the unexpected happen. The brain control element of the story really wasn't even needed, but it turns out to add even more surprises. The killings look incredibly realistic. The film does have some problems with repetitive shots of scarecrow faces that are only there for padding. You could actually take the running time of this film down to just about an hour and it still would have been effective. But give it a look. You most likely won't feel as though your time has been wasted. Too bad the cast and director didn't go on to do much else. There was some real talent both in front of and behind the camera in this one. 7 of 10 stars.The Hound.

Scott LeBrun Five criminals stage a daring, violent robbery of an army payroll at a camp named Pendleton, and abduct a father and daughter to fly them to safety. However, the mastermind of the robbery decides to make off with the proceeds and parachutes down into a remote rural area. Naturally, his enraged comrades follow. However, what they don't expect is the nearby farm is populated with scarecrows - stealthy, sneaky, sadistic zombie scarecrows who decimate the gang one lowlife at a time.I know that that sounds pretty silly, but give director William Wesley and crew credit for handling this premise better than you'd think. They never go the purely cheesy route, largely staying away from blatant humour (although there are some amusing, silly gags near the end) and any sort of camp. What they do instead is milk the atmosphere for all that's it worth, and when it comes down to that aspect of the movie, it's very well done.They also make the interesting move of never truly explaining things, in terms of how these scarecrows could come to be that way. The scarecrows are genuinely ugly and ferocious, and there aren't too many shots of the things shambling around, which would undermine their effectiveness. And speaking of ferocity, the gore in this movie is extremely enjoyable, as we get to see stabbings, decapitations, and the sight of a character who's had their innards removed to be replaced with the purloined money.This is entertaining stuff here, that gets down to business right away and moves forward at a respectable pace. (If it weren't for a pretty slow end credits crawl, the running time would still come in around 80 minutes or so.) The characters are reasonably entertaining & the acting gets the job done; it's a hoot to see the character Curry (Michael David Simms) lose it as he realizes how screwed the whole bunch of them are. Ted Vernon, who also takes an executive producer credit, is good in the top billed role of Corbin; he looks tough and bad ass but is really a sensitive kind of guy, as he tries to look out for the young female captive Kellie (Victoria Christian, who is actually dubbed by Bambi Darro).Lovers of indie horror, and the scarecrow sub genre, are sure to find this a pleasing enough movie that can claim to be legitimately spooky, and delivers a number of fine sequences as it plays out.Seven out of 10.
