Summary: Okay
Review: I think there have been a handful of these death-animated slasher-scarecrow movies, all of which seem to come complete with a whole mass of acting and continuity problems. This one is no exception. As far as shooting, casting and special effects went, this movie reminded me of Bloody Murder 2, and it even had this chick from Bloody Murder 2. There are a scatter of hot-looking girls, which is cool. And another good thing is that, in this movie, you look forward to seeing just about everyone die.There's this skinny high school kid that's constantly getting picked on by all of the nancy-boy bullies; this part of the movie is familiar enough. But they went overboard. The ridicule is just a little over the top, complete with a teacher that calls the kid white trash in front of a whole classroom; I don't think they can really get away with that kind of stuff these days, can they? Anyway, the little chick from Bloody Murder 2 is the only one that defends the guy. And he's in love with her. Then, the skinny kid sees the Bloody Murder chick kissing the pudgy football punk that ridicules him the most. Enraged, the kid goes home, and promptly walks in on his lowlife mother and some pot-bellied slouch fornicating like dogs. The slouch ends up killing the kid, and his soul jumps into the body of a very horror-movie-looking scarecrow. This could have been cool, but they just messed it up. For some reason, the Scarecrow, armed with two small scythes, has to enter every scene with a spinning Power Rangers flip. Uggh. And, they gave him this stupid Freddy voice complete with a full arsenal of cheap one-liners. Uggh #2. Now, this is an area in which the time-honored techniques of the main man, Vorhees, divide the neophyte johnny-come-lately slashers from the true masters. Vorhees just goes in and does his thing, never stopping for some kind of jerkweed Freddy comment, just getting business done. Yeah baby. But, the Scarecrow does kill the football punk by cramming an ear of corn into his ear, and he does another creep with the let-you-see-your-heart-before-you-die trick. So, I mean, the movie does have its moments. However, next time, I'd go with alot more Vorhees and ALOT less Freddy. The Bloody Murder chick ends up burning the Scarecrow, but it seems that he now has the ability to soul-transfer at will. Ostensibly, he can't be destroyed---so I guess his ghost haunts the images of a sequel yet to come. Maybe they'll get the formula straightened out by then.

Summary: Bad but good in a way
Review: Okay, there's not much that I can say that every other reviewer has said thus far. True it's badly acted and written but on the other hand the story is good, or at least the concept anyways. They spent some time on the scarecrow costume so the finished product looks great. Anyways, if you are a fan of cheesy horror movies (and who isn't?) at least watch it once, or add it to your collection like I did. It's good for a laugh and/or a cheap thrill, (not to mention your own Mystery Science Theatre impersonation).

Summary: Too cheap to be good but not too bad
Review: The movie was grade Z budget. They used that junky digital camera stuff to make it. I rented it because it had a cool cover but when I saw the first few seconds and saw how cheap it was I almost shut it off. But I didn't and was strangely entertained by it. The last half hour was dumb but if they had a budget and a little more talent this movie might have been pretty good. The Scarecrow looked cool though.

Summary: TheGoreSite.com Reviews
Review: This film is a classic horror film about a boy who is make fun of in life and comes back from the dead. The casting was great, the story was unique, and the special effects were magical. The only thing I didn't like was the editing, but he did the best he could with only 8 days of film. The DVD contains trailers, spanish subtitles, and a befind the scenes you have to see!

Summary: good little slasher budget flick!!!
Review: this is a good little B slasher flick. it has plenty of flaws but not enough to over shadow some pretty good murder scenes (the teacher's death was awsome!!!)the main actress CAN act!the scarecrow's costume was pretty spooky,and the storyline was pretty decent with a neat little ending. all & all it was a good B scary movie.the only thing that really desturbed me about the movie was the stupid looking flips,jumps&kicks that the scarecrow would do,that stuff is just tooooo dummmm!!! but there is really not enough of it to ruin the movie. anyway get the dvd,it has a neat little documentry on making the movie.and real B movie fans will get this just because it might be hard to find soon!!!! ITS CORNEY BUT ITS GOOD!!!

Summary: yea, its pretty bad
Review: This reminded me of the toxic avenger, however, it wasnt even that good! beyond B movie! bad qaulity, bad editing, bad acting, bad FX, really really bad lines (although what is really sad was some of the lines where the best part of the movie)
note: to the guy that said all horror movies are bad, and compare them to this one: your nutz! this is way down near the bottom of the barrel for horror movies. Try hellraiser 1 or 2, Friday 13th parts 1-3, nightmare on elm st 1-3 (I could keep going, but you all get the point)
