Movie Reviews of Scarecrows
Movie Review: Not too bad...not so great
Summary: 3 Stars
It's certainly not horrible, but it sure is light on the gore. It's pretty much just a bunch of guys and a couple girls trompin around a cornfield, being attacked by 'living' scarecrows. There are a couple of good FX scenes, but not enough for as much time as we spend watching them walk the rows. The retrospective on this film, in the lastest Fangoria, is better than the movie.Movie Review: Super cheese topped with thick creamy atmosphere!
Summary: 3 Stars
Horror fans, there is not much more that I can say about this one...my review title says it all. It is a very cheesey film with spurts of seriously creepy moments as well as a half decent amount of gore. It's not an easy film to find so I'd suggest that you definitely add it to your collection if you can get your hands on it, especially if your a child of the 80's.Movie Review: fright night
Summary: 3 Stars
it"s a good scary movie, if you like medium horror. Not recommended for children under 13 or those easily upset.Movie Review: almost not a waste of time - NEXT, please
Summary: 2 Stars
yeah, so I like Horror films, and read all the reviews and hype about this "forgotten 80's masterpiece" or whatever, and I was sorely disappointed. The film was shot well, everything is dark, dark and pretty creepy, and the 3 or 4 scarecrows that actually move around look good and scary, but the flick is boring! Nothing happens except some fairly bad acting, and there is little sense to things throughout. The actors just cuss a lot, I mean A LOT, and end up sounding stupid as they just won't stop repeating themselves. A real script would have helped enormously. Some deeper things are hinted at but generally any chances to create real characterizations are totally missed. The actors just run around in the dark repeating their motivations (ie: greed, looking for harmonica, looking for dog, etc), cussing profusely, going into the house, then leaving the house again and again, etc. back and forth, until they finally all get killed. A nice attempt, but obviously budget was an issue. But hey, with a better script and a few rehearsals by the actors, this could have been a much better film. The special effects and cinematography were quite good, and the gore/methods of demise were also good. Hopefully this director has continued to work and improved upon his weaknesses, because he definitely has some strengths.
ULTIMATELY, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WRITING (see X-men 3 and Spider-man 3 if you don't think bad writing can foul up something good - they'll change your mind.....)
Movie Review: Scarecrows is a near 'miss' with few scares
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this movie from Amazon after reading all the good reviews. I would give 'Scarecrows' a 2 star rating and I think that is being generous. The acting is absolutely the worst, there is way too much cursing and to be honest, the demon scarecrows are not very impressive. On the plus side, the DVD picture was crisp. I was impressed being the movie takes place entirely over one night. Too bad the makers weren't able to deliver on a decent storyline. In fact, I recognized some themes in Scarecrows present in more contemporary Horror films (such as the scarecrows duplicating the voices of the robbers and the vines from 'The Ruins'). Several of the reviews complained about the pacing of the movie. I don't think the movie suffers from this at all. 'Scarecrows' is a near miss.
