Absolutely Fantastic

Absolutely brilliant

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

this movie isn't that bad but it isn't that good either. the acting wasn't great. neither was the camera work. if your afraid of scarecrows this movie will maybe scare you if you are easily scared but if you love cheap cheesy horrors you will love this. the actors and actresses aren't well known but some of them should be because the acting from 1 or 2 people was fantastic. and the blood and guts they used in this movie looked really fake i didn't watch the whole movie about half way through i turned it off because this one girls voice was annoying me so much. but like i said earlier if you hate scarecrows and are easily scared watch it. also if you have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon watch it if you are really bored . :)

Watching "Scarecrow Slayer" is a highly unpleasant experience. The acting is completely devoid of emotion, the scenes look as though they were edited together by a tree branch, and the deaths in the film contain no originality or coherence. I recall an episode of the children's television series "Goosebumps" that contained scarecrows, and it was far scarier and more intense than this movie. One would expect something interesting from Tony Todd aka "The Candyman" at the very least, but he fails to make the plot interesting in the slightest. His deranged ramblings about scarecrows and his father's untimely death at the hands of a cursed scarecrow are about as interesting as watching butter melt. I consider myself an avid fan of b-movies, c-movies, and even z-movies, but this wreck of a horror film is best avoided at all costs. It offers nothing in the way of cheap thrills or occasional accidental humor that these types of films are usually good for.

"Scarecrow Slayer" is a pretty banal scarecrow slasher film.**SPOILERS**Fraternity pledges Dave, (Brett Erickson) Karl, (David Castro) Mary Anderson, (Nicole Kingston) and Judy, (Elizabeth Perry) sneak onto Caleb Kilgore's, (Tony Todd) cornfield to rob a scarecrow to join. Mistaking them stealing it to be a prophesied legend come true, Dave is accidentally killed. When they awake the next morning to live with their situation, Mary comes to realize what happen, that her boyfriend has died and could quite possibly be a murderous scarecrow. When their fraternity members start dying in gruesome ways, they suspect that the scarecrow is the culprit and is setting off on getting revenge for his death. Only Mary figures she can stop him before it's too late.The Good News: The second in a trilogy that no one knew existed means that it isn't all that spectacular when really looked at. The scarecrow costume this time isn't changed around so it can still give off some cheap thrills. The only design change is a slight redesign of the stitches over his eyes, but it's not a fairly noticeable one and really isn't that noteworthy, except for some shots that really make it look a little spookier, but this happens rarely. The big thing to recommend here, though, is the deaths. It's a little more inventive than the one before, though not by much. Here we get a couple decapitations, an impaling on a pitchfork, a rather splatter-filled crushing behind a door and being scythed in half, which is the best scene in the film. Cornering a car, one character attempts to take it when we get a close-up view of it's stomach, and after a couple of seconds, his upper body slides off and lands on the ground. Really interesting scene. Other than these few things, though, not much to compliment.The Bad News: Oh, boy, where do I start? I honestly don't know where to start with on here, it's all pretty bad. The obvious ones, dialog, acting, direction, and mostly anything technical are included in this list as being bad, but that's just the beginning. The opening makes no sense whatsoever. It takes fifteen minutes before the plot kicks in and the scarecrow comes out, yet there is so much back-story going on, it makes the whole incredibly confusing. Add to that, nothing is seen clearly as there is a strange hue around the film, it's harder than normal and makes it impossible to see the action. That is a compounding problem for most of the movie actually and it doesn't make the movie all the more stylish because of it. The hue is distracting, and makes the scene hard to view as you're centered on the huing instead of what's going on, ruining the film of what little action there is. That's the next thing: there's hardly anything in here that will keep your attention for more than twenty minutes or so, as the film is so devoid of anything resembling action, making an already strained picture all the more harder to sit through. When there's nothing there, you have to rely on a story to get through the dull spots, but the one here is so inept and dull, it doesn't really matter all that much. The plot here is so identical to the first one that a full review could be written just based on the similarities between the two films. Besides the one cool scene earlier, the gore is pretty bad. Not at all realistically done or convincing, and considering that there is a high body count is a shame. The ending is a total non-event, draws no action and makes it go by pretty slowly. There is just so much I could go on about, it's really a shame. Even the characters are very annoying, and that is a huge one right there.The Final Verdict: This is pretty bad on most accounts, and not really features much to recommend it. Even a couple nice deaths can't really make it exciting, and it invariably leads to boredom. See it only if you are a hardcore fan of the scarecrow films or the cheapest of the cheap films.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language

This might be the worse film I have ever seen. Hard to believe something like this can be made. Has Tony Todd fallen on that bad of times he needs to do things like this? I could not put this with the bad its good or I laughed the whole time bad films was just bad! The whole movie was full of stuff that made no sense that just made you think what the hell is going on now. I expect that from low budget strait to video but this was real bad. No point to most of it.I did think that the scarecrow looked OK and could have been somewhat scary just in the wrong film with this.Seems like the filmmaker has done or been involved in lots of stuff, none i have seen, I might not want to now. God bless much luck for doing something we all love.I would avoid this at all cost free or for $1.00 not worth it.
