I like to watch low budget films because I'm done with big budget spoon fed candy films. Shure the big budget films have better actors, sometimes decent stories, competent cinematography and editing, decent music, spectacular cgi and sets, etc. Whatever it takes not to offend most viewers. But these films are boring. They're all the same. Nothing special. Non original stories. Quick edits. Always some dumb battle scene at the end. And the movie is over. What we have with the Scarecrow is apparent in the beginning with the credits. It starts with some decent visuals, and the credits are shown. This was well done. However, it goes on for like 10 minutes! Then we see the lead character. The actor is clearly in his late 20 and he's supposed to be a high schooler, maybe if he was left back 10 times. This guy is walking around slumping, and carrying his books clutched to his chest, like some girls do. This is clearly bad direction. I don't care if it was written like that. This director sucks. This "kid" is bullied by everyone, his classmates, his teacher calls him white trash, his mother is an alcoholic bum who sleeps around, and her new drunk boyfriend also berates him. The only person that treats this "kid" kindly is one girl, who happens to be the sheriff's daughter. The kid sees this girl kissing some boy. The kid can't believe why he's a loser. Goes back to his trailer home, only to find his mother getting it from the back side. While this is going on, the kid gets into a verbal fight with his mother's boyfriend, WHILE THE BOYFRIEND IS POUNDING HIS MOTHER! Now, if the film makers were making a full on comedy, then we have something here. But no, it is only a comedy here and there. So the Boyfriend chases the kid into a cornfield and strangles him to death, then makes it look like he hung himself. The kid's drunken bum mother is complicit. Ok, so the kid then possesses a scarecrow, and the scarecrow starts killing people. What we are presented with is a scarecrow with gymnastics ability, and some dumb ass one liners as he kills. Maybe if the producers hired some comedians to help with the writing, this film could have been a decent killer/comedy. No, what we have is cheap kills, cheap one liners. Garbage acting. Garbage dialogue. The music is filler, pretty much garbage. I liked the ending music with the credits. There was one scene that was pretty good. Not great, but good. Two boys find a dead guy mutilated by the scarecrow in the cornfield, and the cops show up. One of the cops try to comfort the kids because he doesn't want them to be traumatized. The kids turn around and say that's the best thing we have ever seen. The cop turns away as if to puke. This was good. Not great. So, entertainment value is pretty low here. I do not recommend watching this. It is not so bad it's good. There's nothing here for anyone. Also, the director, apparently to show his love for Dario Argento, dedicated this garbage movie to him. What a joke. Argento is garbage. He is no director. He is a promoter. His film Suspiria is one of the worst films ever made. His films Plumage and Four Flies are also garbage.

The director states in the Behind-the-Scenes feature that he loves horror movies. He loves them so much that he dedicated the movie to Dario Argento, as well as other notable directors such as George A. Romero and Tobe Hooper. Basically dedicating this movie to those great directors is like giving your mother a piece of sh*t for Mother's Day. The first thing they did wrong was the casting. CAST PEOPLE THAT CAN ACT. Also, don't cast a person that is 40 years old for the role of a misunderstood, 18 year old recluse. That's right, he's been in high school for 22 years. The reactions made by people as they watch their boyfriends get their hearts ripped out is amusing. Or like one part when a guy gets stabbed in the ear with an ear of corn (haha get it), and his girlfriend just goes, "Oh..my.. God?" The scarecrow himself is quite a character. Doing flips off cars and calling people losers.The movie does have one redeeming factor... oh wait, no it doesn't.If you absolutely MUST see this movie, than just watch the Rock and Roll trailer on the DVD. It covers about everything and has a really gnarly song dude.

Let's face it; some lame kid who dies and has his soul transfered into a scarecrow. Das no gonna happen neva! OMFG This stupid loser kid who can't stand up for himself gets his ass handed to him by some drunk bastard screwing his mom. Right as he dies, he looks up at the scarecrow and he let's his spirit go into the scarecrow. The drunk guy covered up his death by making it seem suicidal and thought he had gotten away with it. We later see he is tossed out of the trailer and later earns another encounter with the scarecrow. They had a brief encounter which includes the drunk calling him a loser and the scarecrow rebounding with "Takes one to know one, loser!" The scarecrow flips off the building, calls him "daddy-o", and then beheads the poor man. We can see how this awesome movie unfolds from that. He goes on to kill many people, afterward. He mainly kills the people who gave him a hard time in rl and goes off to kill some random ass people, just for some laughs. No laughing here. He adds a punchline to every kill, too. Every time he killed someone, he would do some karate flips and finish it all off with one of his signature punchlines. In the case of someone who was hard of hearing, he would say "Here, have an EAR of corn!" then shove it up their ass. OR we can actually take an example from the movie! He just got done killing a cop and was on his way to killing the only person who ever stood up for him. Her father, the sheriff, yelled to the madman to stop, and he said "Hey, stay awhile!" and threw a dagger threw his chest and stuck him onto some tree. In the end of the movie, he killed two guys and threw in the punchline "Gotta split!" and killed two guys by shoving a scythe into their heads. Wowzors, this movie made me want to cream my pants so bad. Maybe next time this guy makes a movie, it won't be gay.

The ScareCrow was on of the funniest Killers I have ever seen in the act! Plus he's really bouncy most of the time he jumped around, which was awesome! Also he had an excellent voice I mean it was just perfect for him. The story lines was excellent too. I like how the kids soul was transferred into ScareCrow that was cool! Plus he did have a reason for all that killing I mean after what those people did to him.....I would be angry too! ScareCrows look was really good! his look gives that person an "OMG!" reaction when they see him! Which was great the stares he got were funny! Those people were stupid, who would stare for that long! They should of glanced and ran for their lives...even though that wouldn't of made a difference!
