Alicia I love this movie so much
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Steineded How sad is this?
Pluskylang Great Film overall
thesar-2 I once tried to convince a movie critic that I admire to see Husk by claiming it was a great killer Scarecrow movie. He said, in so many Facebook words that he was done with said "killer scarecrow" movies.How many of them are out there? Outside this one, I can think of maaaaybe Jeepers Creepers (and its sequel(s)) and maybe you could roll in the Children of the Corn and its seventeen-hundred sequels and remakes…and even those did not involve a scarecrow that comes "alive" and attacks corn-wandering-victims.Let's get away from that…this movie was fantastic. I had a lot of fun and admired it's originality EVEN within its typical stereotypes/clichés.Four guys and one girl travel along the cornfields and crash due to some misfortune, daredevil crows and upon consciousness, one of the guys is missing and the others are in disarray. What we're left with are: the pretty, but strong chick, the nerdy guy, the headstrong dude and the scaredy-cat of a boy. One-by-one they venture into the cornfield for assistance and are met with…yeah, I've already spoiled the killer.Oh, but there's so much more. Background, flashbacks, mystical occurrences and haunted grounds are just the beginning. Take in some VERY decent cinematography, hilarious dialogue, original and brutal/effective kills – and in an unpredictable order, depth and true fear that's usually left out of these kinds of films. Hell, they even "took from" one of my all-time favorite slashers, Freddy, but with such a different "edge"…so to speak.The entire movie feels small budget and indie horror, but surprises me with craftsmanship and great filmmaking. And for such a short time frame, I was spellbound in the storytelling and frights. I rooted for our "heroes" and enjoyed being scared – FINALLY – as I'm usually bored when filmmakers pretend to know what will scare us these days. And NOOOOO – 1½ hours of NOTHING happening at a house with cameras everywhere and then BAM, 4 seconds of someone dragged from one side of the room to another, i.e. the Paranormal Crap, does NOT do the trick any day of the week or year.I thoroughly enjoyed this "After Dark Films" horror flick. It's a thrill ride that surprised me from beginning to end and if you, too, enjoy a good-old-fashioned NON-paranormal, NON-hand-held camera, NON-found footage, horror film, you'll like this scary Scarecrow killer driller.
drnrg35 I always review my movies after the first time watch, because that's when they make the first honest impression on me. Usually after that they get better as I pick up on more plot lines and clues. I give this movie an eight, because it's original. Aside form the 1990's "Scarecrows" ;which . by the way ,I thought was excellent; there hasn't been a whole lot of good SCare Crow themed movies. Scare Crow 1 and 2 are totally done for fun. Tony Todd and Tiffany Shepis Star, but the Scarecrow flips and talks like Freddy Krueger, so I can't take them too seriously. This movie , however , again puts my faith in the comeback of the old school horror formula.First off; let me explain, that were I live this film was promoted as being Jeepers Creepers 3. It has the title "El Demonio 3" which is what jeepers Creepers titles are given over here. Even on the menu page; the title "Demonio 3" appears, so I thought, what have I got to lose. Upon seeing the scarecrow on the cover I was septic as to it actually being a continuation of the "Jeepers Creepers" series, but it still looked interesting and I knew it had to be better than "Scare Crow" The setting of the movie; which is a farm house, actually had me thinking that this could indeed be Jeepers Creepers 3. In fact; I was compelled to believe this until the first flash backs start. Not willing to give off too many spoilers, but there is even a scene were the scare crow sniffs one of the victims and lets him live.What I like about the movie is that it's quite original. Don't let those reviewers with grudges Against the directors and filmmakers steer you away with words like clichés and bad acting. Not true. In fact, early on, one of the most played out Rules of the horror genre concerning female actors is broken, so this one is full of surprises.You do get cool deja vous feeling of movies from directors like Tobe Hooper and Wes Craven, and that all just lets you know you are in familiar territory and not with a bunch of amateurs who do not know about making horror films.As for the movie itself ;funny enough, starts off with the same car wreck scene as the movie I just yesterday. "Wrong Turn 5" That there blew my mind just a bit, but thinking about it; it's always the best way to get your would be victims to get out and look for help and that's were the fun begins. Actually one of there friends is already missing by the time the other wake up from the car wreck. That there already becomes a mystery to the rest of them as well as the viewer. What follows next is pure unpredictability. The viewer thinks this will happen but instead happens another way.I'd like to write more about the film, but I don't wanna spoil the fun. I will say that it's not Jeepers Creepers 3. It's not a slasher film either. Nor a ghost story. It's a little bit of all three and very enjoyable. the actors all play different roles with really different personalities and agenda for their actions. That last line I just wrote has a lot more to do with the movie than just their acting abilities and what makes up the interesting and original plot line.My one small beef is that the gore factor is pretty low, but I really didn't even notice this until the end of the film, so it really shines in other factors. particulalry the story; which I really enjoyed and honestly can say; have not seen it in any Horror movie yet... and I have many in my collection.My recommendation is; if you haven't already seen it, to view it this Halloween. Nothing like a good Scare Crow movie to get you in the mood for the ghouls and ghosts who will be visiting you all night.
djderka I rarely rate a movie below 5 but this is an exception. If you are entertained by watching someone chew gum, this is the movie for you.Although the cinematography, lighting, and acting are professional, the script really sucked. I mean two jocks and a geek in a cornfield. Was this funded by mom and dad? Were those guys your best buddies, Brett?Little gore, no babes, lame boring script make this a Don't See. The movie could be used to bore criminals during interrogation so that they finally confess.The plot is simple: babe and three guys travel near a cornfield. They get stuck and have to enter the cornfield finding an old car, and a house. Kill off babe. Introduce a killer scarecrow and watch 3 guys run around in boring scene after boring scene. Have the cast hooked up to a sewing machine. Have the new scarecrow chase the others. Wrap up with pseudo plot about the past. Brett you and a few others have broken the cardinal rule on horror movies: you must have some BABES in sexy clothes in the movie !!!!! And they must be running around scared ! Otherwise you have an exercise in camera set up and lighting.The horror/scary wasn't near equal to other films like Wrong Turn, Saw, Evil Dead and a slew of others. Maybe this could have been a comedy, just add a few punch lines and some three stooges type stuff and presto! a movie. Even those Crocagator films have babes in them running around scared. These are popcorn and date movies so get on the clue bus if you ever do another film.
Saad Khan Husk – CATCH IT (B) Husk is a combination of Jeepers Creepers and Children of the Corn (Kind of). The film follows five friends on a weekend holiday who become stranded in a secluded farmland after wild crows attack their SUV. The friends soon realize that the cornfields are inhabited by reanimated, vicious human scarecrows who produce their offspring by killing anyone they get a hold of and force their undead victims to join their ranks. Even though the story and characters are cliché there is a good screenplay to it. C.J. Thomason as Chris, Devon Graye as Scott, Wes Chatham as Brian, Tammin Sursok as Natalie and Ben Easter as Johnny did a decent job. Overall, I had fun time getting scared of the Husk, it's not something out of the box but it's not mediocre either. Good time pass.
