Scarecrows

I didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by this movie. If you take it for what it is, this movie over delivers and is a lot of fun. I found it refreshing that it didn't take itself too seriously and even had a few legit scares! Good movie.

Was drawn into seeing 'Scarecrows' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing if not creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. 'Scarecrows' is a film it doesn't do enough with its potential (although there are far bigger wastes of potential in film) and could have been much better. 'Scarecrows' is very weak with a lot of big problems. It certainly could have been far worse, considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre at best and terrible at worst. Lets start with the positives. The setting is atmospheric and spooky and 'Scarecrows' is surprisingly well shot and easy on the eye, was expecting a cheap looking film and to me that wasn't the case here. 'Scarecrows' has some suspenseful and creepy moments and it started off on a fun and intriguing note. Albeit, there is nothing new here, it's all familiar territory and executed in old-hat fashion. While the first half is better than the second, the goofiness became more grating than fun and the second half feels like a completely different tonally and takes itself far too seriously. The creepiness is not sustained all the way through, with the horror and tension being nowhere near enough. Things start not making much sense and gets silly. The acting entertained at first because there was the sense that they knew what kind of film it was but the over-the-top campiness got very annoying and excessive. Further issues are that it was clear that it was written in haste. There is a very rushed and careless feel to the story, especially in the second half where confusion and choppiness can be found in editing and narrative, and the underdeveloped and scrappy script likewise. The characters are flimsily developed, annoying and bland, the direction lacks focus and the music and sound editing are far too intrusive and obvious. In summary, weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Best line was don't touch my Ketchup chips. The acting was pretty disappointing. More effort was put in to the music to the movie. Can I have my time back?

A good 90's style horror. Typical guys: the hot blond jock, the dark haired nerd. Girls: Pretty blond brat, cute dark haired naive. Fabsie is one of the best horror jocks. I enjoyed this, a fun horror movie.

There's nothing new here folks, but I dont regret watching it. Four good looking teenagers in an isolated environment with a scary villain trying to kill them. Yep nothing new as far as the slasher genre goes, but nothing bad either. Some of the other reviewers are exaggerating how bad this is. Think of it as a lower budget Jeeper's Creepers without the car chase or flying above the fields camera work. The acting isn't as bad as others have said. Its a really low budget horr film so what do you expect? There's a bit of tittilating implied sex, good looking young people, including the a girl who left half of her pants at home. Theres' a couple of genuinely funny parts and some scaring set pieces. I got what I expected and I enjoyed it. If you liked Jeepers Creepers, you will probably like this movie.

Just seen this movie because I loved horror movie. But this is a disappoint watch. Only a few scenes to frighten you. Ending is not interesting, only torture and murder from beginning to the end. There is no hope to survive from bad man and no one can dare to fight him. A straight telling story. As me such movies must have some turning points. But not here. Not recommended much. See your own risk if want a horror entertainer without meaning. Hot situations only for attracts viewers.
