Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
loomis78-815-989034 Lester (Young) is in teenage hell as the kid everyone picks on. He lives with his single Mother who is screwing around with everyone. Lester makes a friend in Judy (Shepis) who feels sorry for him. Lester has romance on the mind but is killed by his Mom's boyfriend. Trying to make it look like suicide, they hang Lester in a cornfield where his spirit enters the nasty scarecrow hanging close by. A year later the scarecrow seeks revenge on all his tormentors. There is nothing new in this time worn story but the nasty Scarecrow played and designed by Todd Rex is one cool looking monster. What could have turned into a fun brain dead slasher film is ruined by a lousy script and the scarecrow talking in puns like a poor cousin of the most annoying version of Freddy Krueger you can think of. A few moments of blood help a little, but this script is so dumb it will eventually get under your skin and rub you the wrong way. This Scarecrow looked great and could have supplied some real scares, if it was in a different film.
krazykustoms WOW is all i can say if your reading this is either watched it or are thinking about it. trust me watch it!i laughed so hard at so many parts of this movie the worst acting ever made is very funny! I cant believe they superimposed the school sign! I must have played that scene over and over again just to laugh more and more every time. If a movie like this can be made it gives us all hope in making our own movies. even the costume was bad. it looked like my 7 year old cousin could have done a better job on making it. heck i bet he could have written and acted better as well. all i know is that i have to watch the second part just so i can see if it was as bad as the first. its a cool idea about a killer scarecrow but a much better job could have been done. hopefully another killer scarecrow movie comes out, just not like this one.
hmmxkrazee This movie had the potential to be a decent horror movie. The main character was decently done and I felt sorry for him and there was a decent amount of backstory. HOWEVER, everything else sucks. The director, Emmanuel, is quite incompetent at film-making. He uses some of the most idiotic shots ever.a couple of random sequences of random images dispersed throughout the film. I don't know if he tried to be deep and intelligent and poetic but he wasn't. It was stupid. Random shots of the trailer the main character lived in, random buildings, random pan shots of buildings, random cat which walks away. WTF? And clouds. Lots of gloomy dark clouds.he really liked this technique of having a scene cut up into different shots rather than being just one continuous shot. EX: Guy is trying to light his weed and the camera circles around him. Instead of just one shot, he edits it into like 10 different shots so its really EDGY! and HIP! and SMART! stupid.The acting is horrible but it's what makes the movie so funny. And the scarecrow is a gymnast cause he flips and spins and twirls all the time. And some of the deaths could have been better. You expect the main bully to have a long well built up death but nope. A simple corncob in the ear . The love interest was hot. Voluptuous. Which is why this movie gets a 2.
rixrex Very nice development of story and characters in the first 10 minutes or so, and Tiffany is great to watch, but when Lester becomes the Scarecrow, it becomes a stupid and simple ordinary teenage nerd revenge melodrama, completely pointless, except to the nerds who can identify with Lester and who wish they could become immortal scarecrows, but are destined to end up lesser mortals. A high kill quotient that basically makes no sense but to thrill the pea-brained violence junkies who exist on make-believe mayhem in video games and these type of trash movies. A much better exercise in nerd revenge is the hard to find Twisted Brain, with a better realized teacher murder scene. And then at the end credits we are treated to a "thanks for the inspiration" to several great horror directors such as Argento, Romero, Craven, Hooper, etc, who all must be cringing to see that they are being thanked by these moronic horror film production posers.
