listen this movie is no million dollar movie and it clearly shows but the thing is for me i don't need a million dollar budget to get me interested if they had a better budget it would be better but they didn't i like it cause its a classic no one watches old black and white Dracula films for the effects so why judge this movie by its budget if you pick it up you will have a fun time cause the movie is kinda fun to watch and it will let you remember how movie use to be made and i enjoy how the scarecrow was like a ninja its funny its classic everything i want in a movie if you pick this up with a bad feeling about it don't waste your time its a cheap classic thats all.

The movie was so unbelievably bad that it was good. This is assuming that you are watching the movie with friends who will not just make fun of it, but rip it to pieces as you watch. This means that you shouldn't watch the movie with any of the stiffs who declared it the worst movie ever because of the terrible effects, acting, lingo, customs, lack of plot, and so on. They cannot truly appreciate a movie that was purposefully made so bad that people would not have a good time watching it, but instead would have an amazingly fulfilling experience making fun of it. If you like movies that make you feel like you could easily create a better movie in your backyard without even having a video camera then this is the movie for you. If you one of those people who limit the qualities of a good movie to having good plot, acting, effects, lingo, and so on; then you aren't worthy of the Scarecrow Slayer experience and should rethink everything about your movie watching life before it's too late. SCRARECROW SLAYER + FRIENDS = BEST MOVIE EVER!!!

Let me just start of by saying that the original Scarecrow may indeed be considered a gem in harsh comparison to this movie. How they managed to get a hold of a semi-well known actor like Tony Todd is beyond me. Basically, this movie manages to lose any magic that the first one had. And believe me, some how making a movie WORSE than the first one is a feat. A great and marvelous feat. For those who have watched the first movie, remember lovable Lester Dwervick? OK well he's dead, but for some reason the same exact scarecrow is in this movie. With the death of Lester also went all those crazy one-liners and kung fu flips. That was the only redeeming factor of the first movie. Now, we come to Slayer which is just a half-assed attempt at trying to blah blah...rocket launcher to the face. God this movie sucks.

Seeing the cover art and the fact Tony Todd was involved you would expect a better movie. The story is fairly good but combine bad acting and "terrible effects" and the movie loses all its steam. Die hard horror fans such as myself will be very disappointed with this movie. Very little blood, no real gore to speak of and a general lack of special effects leave the movie flat. Tony Todd gives a good performance but he alone can't save this movie. Nicole Kingston is a beauty to help dull the pain of watching this movie. This is another movie where the lack of a good budget hurts the movie to the point its almost a waste of time to have filmed it. If your looking for a hidden gem or a good scare pass on this one.
