Thy Davideth I hate reviewing these kinds of movies. If they do nothing more than JUST entertain then my reviews come out boring and gay. Well here we go........ Scarecrows is an action horror movie. Where the film shines is the gore and action and some of its horror elements. The gore effects are primitive and great. CGI sucks long penis. Let downs are the story. The mystique surrounding the scarecrows was meaningless and stupid. Sure they are creepy, but if there is no REASON then what is the f@$&ing point. "Oh look. Scarecrows come to life without reason. Oh I'm scared." Shut up you p@$$y. Anyways, this was a fun creepy, gory movie even if the concept was retarded.
cheekyfilm A Joe Pesci look alike and his military friends rob and kidnap a father/daughter combo, escaping in a jet airplane. During flight, one of the robbers grabs the loot and parachutes onto a farm haunted by demonic scarecrows. They land, and it becomes obvious that the human characters here don't matter, scarecrows are the main draw.It's super low-budget without showing too much, and the acting is very b-movie in an enjoyable way. Unfortunately, the story is just a set up to have guys with guns get sneakily picked off by alie.. I mean predato.. I mean scarecrows.But the simple plot works through decent effects, competent direction, and the scarecrows themselves. (They're near invulnerable, wield knives, pitchforks, cleavers, and sew people full of leaves to make them into zombified slaves.) There's some genuinely creepy moments and some laughable schlock. If you don't go in expecting much, this can be a fun ride.
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
851222 Greetings from Lithuania.I remember i watched "Scarecrows" when i was 10 years old on TV, and it scared the hell out of my. 16 years later, i decided to re-watch this movie, and you know what - it's a really scary stuff, if go along with it.Now there isn't any special effects, just some make up, and it has a lot of campy and cheese shots (like the whole beginning on a plane), but later, it becomes somehow intriguing. It has good atmosphere (scary i mean) and it's a really nice stuff for a lonely cold and dark evening, it will definitely give you some chills. Don't expect much, you could by surprised by this movie. "Hey Curry, how are we going to live in Mexico, if we're dead?!" - this has to be one of the greatest lines in a history of screenplays :)
