I hate reviewing these kinds of movies. If they do nothing more than JUST entertain then my reviews come out boring and gay. Well here we go........ Scarecrows is an action horror movie. Where the film shines is the gore and action and some of its horror elements. The gore effects are primitive and great. CGI sucks long penis. Let downs are the story. The mystique surrounding the scarecrows was meaningless and stupid. Sure they are creepy, but if there is no REASON then what is the f@$&ing point. "Oh look. Scarecrows come to life without reason. Oh I'm scared." Shut up you p@$$y. Anyways, this was a fun creepy, gory movie even if the concept was retarded.

It feels like they couldn't decide between making an action or a horror movie. Sometimes it also feels like they try to bend the story to match a specific scene. They should have used Bergmans motto: "kill your darling" and cut out some of the "talking" -scenes that doesn't fit in or move the story forward.The main actors couldn't deliver a line if their life depended on it. Try not to smile next time you scream Help! and Stop! And I really hate when they feel the need to set the scene with lines such as; it feels scary! instead of letting the scene play out more naturally and give the actors some more room to act? Several times it actually felt like I was watching two or three movies at the same time. I really liked the sound and music score though.

Five people heist the Camp Pendleton payroll, kidnap a pilot and his daughter, who are forced to fly them to Mexico. Enroute a double cross has one of the thieves parachute with the loot into an abandoned graveyard surrounded by strange scarecrows. Two of the team jump after their loot and their former partner. Everything happens during the course of one very dark night.Interesting premise for a horror film and it's well done. Very surprising that the director only mad a tiny handful of films. It's excellently made and acted and the script is pretty different. Wonder why he dropped out.

I'm not going to try and convince anyone that Scarecrows is a great horror film. It isn't. But considering the limitations of a no-name cast and tiny budget, this film is a lot better than it would appear to be on paper. I kind of remember seeing this as a kid, but a recent viewing was definitely worth the rental.The story is relatively simple, and the film is fairly short. A group of commandos rob a fortune from a military base and hijack a plane that will hopefully take them to Mexico. Of course there is no honor amongst thieves, and one of the guys jumps out with the money, hoping to get it all for himself. Unfortunately for everyone, this man happens to land on a deserted farm haunted by murderous scarecrows. Not only are they looking to carve up their victims, but they can also control your mind and make objects (like trucks with no engines) move on their own. The other commandos also land on this property, and by the end of the night, few of them are left to regret the decisions they have made.The film has kind of a hasty beginning where it doesn't quite feel sure of itself. Only after the entire group has landed does the good stuff begin. The film has several gory killings and scenes where the unexpected happen. The brain control element of the story really wasn't even needed, but it turns out to add even more surprises. The killings look incredibly realistic. The film does have some problems with repetitive shots of scarecrow faces that are only there for padding. You could actually take the running time of this film down to just about an hour and it still would have been effective. But give it a look. You most likely won't feel as though your time has been wasted. Too bad the cast and director didn't go on to do much else. There was some real talent both in front of and behind the camera in this one. 7 of 10 stars.The Hound.
