Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Trevor Dewey This is an almost good horror flick: with good cinematography, good actors (Lacey Chabert is quite good throughout) and a well-done CGI Scarecrow.The problem is the plot.First, the movie doesn't properly setup the history of the monster and it doesn't setup the initial monster-meet on Kristen's (Lacey Chabert) old family farm. As mentioned by others, why is there corn growing on a supposedly abandoned farm? But these errors could be forgiven if the rest of the plot held up. It doesn't.In the first half of the movie, various teens do stupid things (wander off alone) and promptly get killed, fair enough - that's the standard trope for this type of movie. In the second half of the movie, the remaining teens, adults do smart things (run fast and far together) and promptly get killed, which is ridiculous.It's a shame because there's a decent horror movie in there somewhere, just needed a script rewrite or two.

The Couchpotatoes I didn't expect much of this movie and I was right about it. There is not much to say about this movie. I thought the actors were mediocre at best. The story could have been good if the movie wasn't so predictable. You have the typical high school bad students on detention. They are all like 25 years old and you wonder why they can not find younger actors to play them. Then you get the typical scenes like the car that doesn't start anymore, the girl that falls over all the time trying to escape, the girl that wants to offer another girl as sacrifice so she can escape herself etc... The only good thing about the movie was the scarecrow itself. I thought he looked pretty good. It would have been better if they had given us some background story. I will forget everything about this movie in a week.

monocreatives If all horror clichés were made into a movie, this would be it. The movie was very predictable. The characters lacked common sense and thinking capacity that would've saved their lives.*possible spoilers*One thing I never really understood was how the group got up a pit using a rope hanging from a splinter. I can't even comprehend how the splinter managed to support 5 people to get out.Additionally, the movie's deliberate attempt to shock by reducing the group's large number is saddening. The pointless attempt to 'sacrifice' animals to save them is more of a weak idea than an aha moment.Speaking of aha moments, the characters only started thinking of ideas to stall the creature very late in the movie.Most of them also died because of being led by their emotions rather than using their wit.I do find the concept of the legend a bit creative, the actors were good and the CGI is admirable.

Blackspecter For this genre the movie is really good. It has a good cast, and as some have mentioned earlier, the female cast get no complains from me. I agree with other reviews that the CGI are quite good, and you can't really complain on acting in this kind of film it's not why you watch them. There are only a few things I got hung up on. One, the monster don't have any resemblance to a scarecrow. Two, there is not a shred of explanation to the story what so ever. If they had mad any kind of attempt to explain why there was a monster and why it did what it did, I would give it a higher rating. Sadly there is none. But besides that it well worth watching.
