5/5 Totally Creepy! Excellenty 80's Horror Flick

I rate "Scarecrows" an A movie compared to that peice of S*** Scarecrow in which I rated a C for Crap!! Also, you can't please every one especially those 1 star rate reviewers who wouldn't know a excellent horror movie if it came up and shoved a Pitchfork up there ASSES!!!

1/5 Simply incompetent, technically and artistically.

I cannot understand the rave reviews a lot of folks are giving this horrendous movie. Poor acting - amateurish, to say the least. Poor editing - 19,000 cuts to a family photo, 21,000 cuts to a stuffed crow - we get it, already! - and continuity errors galore - middle of the night, and yet a plane sits in a field over yonder in broad daylight; family photo cracked in one shot but magically mended in the next. Poor directing - I've seen two or three instances, ever, of effective use of slow motion - these ain't them. Incompetent sound design - inane use of voice over (yes, we know you see a farmhouse in the distance. We see it too. You don't have to tell us that you see it. We see that you see it. Get it??) Amateurish screenplay - characters discussing decrepit farmhouse: "It's the playboy mansion." Real witty, guys, good job. Not scary, not creepy. Literally two interesting shots in the whole movie: the wind blowing through a harmonica that's lying on the ground, and a cool monster shot towards the end - certainly not worth the other 81 minutes and 30 seconds of my life that I'll never get back.

(And, BTW, none of the above has anything to do with the low budget. Any horror aficionado has seen great low budget horror - e.g., Carpenter's Halloween, the original Night of the Living Dead. Scarecrows is simply incompetent, technically and artistically.)

4/5 Scarecrows
  by A. Pierre (Somewheres)
The film starts off with showing off a creepy looking scarecrow as the credits roll. It looks cool, even though i've seen so many straight to dvd horror films with scarecrows that look like that. The movie then switches off to a group who stole some money and hijacked a plane and one escapes with the money in a field with scarecrows. The movie is a slow build but it pays off, if you are patient. Very good kills, the scarecrows do look creepy, and it was worthwhile overall.

5/5 it rules!

creepy, weird, and awesome. even if you don't automatically love scarecrows and scarecrow movies, how can you not love this beautifully haunted 80's relic?
