Movie Reviews of Scarecrows
Movie Review: What happens when you have a $25 budget and a home video camera? You get the film Scarecrows
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me start off by saying that I love all types of movies. I'm not a movie snob that needs a great cast of actors or even great acting. I seek a good story with some impact. I love great movies and I also enjoy movies that are so bad they are enjoyable. Unfortunately this one is just so bad that it's terrible.
It starts off with a plane full military thieves who are headed to Mexico with a sum of $3 million in stollen cash. Two of the crew jump out of the plane in the middle of a cornfield attempting to steal the already stollen money. The now infuriated crew decides to turn around and land the plane to persue their new enemies to only find a whole mess of scarecrows. Now despite the films poor quality I'm thinking it may have potential until I continue to watch. It just goes from bad to worse. They follow no direction at all. There isn't even any explination to the wrath of the scarecrows. It's as if they gave a class of 5th graders some paper and pens and asked them to come up with a horror movie. The scarecrows provide nothing in the scare department like I thought they would. I was actually rooting for everyone to get killed so this mess could be over with and the scarecrows would remain kings of the cornfield.
So as much as I wanted to like scarecrows I just couldn't. This was such a missed opportunity. The whole scarecrow concept is great and could be really creepy if pulled off correctly. But this one doesn't even seem to try. Even for a B horror this was so weak. Yet to this day I haven't seen a scarecrow based movie that was anything above 2 stars. The only great work containing a scarecrow was in an episode of Tales from the Crypt called "Four Sided Triangle" from Season 2.
Movie Review: Simply incompetent, technically and artistically.
Summary: 1 Stars
I cannot understand the rave reviews a lot of folks are giving this horrendous movie. Poor acting - amateurish, to say the least. Poor editing - for example, repeated and pointless cuts to a family photo, repeated and pointless cuts to a stuffed crow, none of which adds anything to the mood or the plot and is simply boring. Also, 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 (for example, VO telling us about a farmhouse the character sees in the distance. Well, we see it too and don't need to be told it's there - just pointless). Amateurish screenplay - for example, one character sarcastically says of a decrepit farmhouse, "It's the playboy mansion." This is what passes for wit in Scarecrows. Nor is the movie scary or creepy, obviously a problem for a horror film. There are 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 toward the end - certainly not worth the other 81 minutes and 30 seconds of your life that you'll never get back.
(And, BTW, none of the above has anything to do with the low budget. We have all seen great low budget horror - e.g., Carpenter's Halloween, the original Night of the Living Dead. Its low budget has nothing to do with Scarecrows' shortcomings.)
Movie Review: It's not an Uncut Unrated Restore Version, this MGM released is R-rated(Cut & Edited Version)
Summary: 1 Stars
MGM studio released version(Sep-11th-07 released)is definitely not an Uncut Unrated Restore Version so dissatisfied to horror maniacs(fans). It's just R-rated(Cut & Edited)Version. IF you're collecting original uncut restore verion, try to find Uncut Unrated Restore Verion(88 minutes)in e-commerce website. It's surely exist... Most of horror fans prefer UNCUT UNRATED horror film! SCARECROWS(1988) A William Wesley Film.

pointless and boring. I wound up fast forwarding just to see the kills after 30 minutes of aimless wandering around and utterly ridiculous dialogue between the characters. I am not even going to go on about what the film is about, just that it was so extremely boring and uneventful that I wish I wouldn't have spent ten bucks to buy it because of the rave reviews.Movie Review: Don't bother with this one
Summary: 1 Stars
The only good thing about this movie was the cover art. Otherwise it was a terrible movie. Bad acting, weak plot, very predictable and not even scary. I ended up turning it off half way through. Yes, it's that bad. I'd say don't waste your time or money on this terrible movie.
