wise-cracking...
son-of-a-bitch scarecrow into the limelight as the creepiest horror icon of the year.
All I can really say is, 'can you dig it' and recommend watching movies such as Frankenfish if you enjoy this sort of hilarious horror.
(WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY SMOKING!
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.
Oh dear lord.
This movie...
It was horrible.
I am a HUGE fan of horror movies.
And most of the time, horror movies other people say are bad, I like.
The actor who played 'Scarecrow' was amazing, I will say that.
But this plot was awful.
It made no sense!
It had way too much gore, and an unnecessary (and revolting) sex scene at the beginning.
I do believe the director was trying to be 'shocking' or whatnot, but it just came out awful.
To add to the pile of festering crap they called a plot, the actors (besides 'scarecrow') we're awful, and I cared so little about them that I soon forgot who was who.
In conclusion, this movie made me sick.
If you can avoid watching this movie in anyway, please do.
Spirit of a murdered high school geek animates a scarecrow which then takes revenge on everyone.
This movie really annoyed me.
It has a great looking monster, has some good low budget effects, some atmosphere but manages to short circuit the good stuff with bad.
Half way in I started to fast forward and then step through the chapters on the DVD.
The problems with this movie are many.
First off the cast looks about thirty and yet they are suppose to be in high school.
You don't believe anything from the get go as a result.
The scarecrow, while looking great isn't much beyond that.
He says stupid one liners and moves in a manner more designed to be funny then scary.
Is this a comedy or a horror movie?
Its a problem that goes beyond the one liners to much of the dialog and set up.
It seems more send up of every cliché than heartfelt horror film.
I some how expect that the film was made for a very narrow audience in mind, horror fans who want to mock the genre rather than embrace it.
Despite the good looking monster this is a film to avoid.
Even if you pick it up in the bargain bin for under five bucks, you're paying too much.
Avoid.
With all the excessive violence in this film, it could've been NC-17.
But the gore could've been pg-13 and there were quite a lot of swears when the mum had the original jackass bad-hairdewed boy friend.
There was a lot of character development which made the film better to watch, then after the kid came back to life as the scarecrow, there was a mindless hour and ten minutes of him killing people.
The violence was overly excessive and i think the bodycount was higher than twelve which is a large number for movies like this.
ALmost every character in the film is stabbed or gets their head chopped off, but the teacher who called him "white trash" and "hoodlum" (though the character lester is anything but a hoodlum, not even close, i know hoods and am part hood, they don't draw in class, they sit there and throw stuff at the teacher).
The teacher deserved a more gruesome death than anyone of the characters, but was just stabbed in the back.
There were two suspenseful scenes in the film, but didn't last long enough to be scary at all.
As i said, the killings were excessive and sometimes people who have nothing to do with the story line get their heads chopped off.
If the gore was actually fun to see, then it would've been nc-17.
Two kids describe a body they find in the cornfields, they describe it as a lot gorier than it actually was, they explained to the cop that there were maggots crawling around in the guys intestines.
His stomach had not even been cut open so there was no way maggots were in his stomach, though i would've liked to see that.
The acting was pathetic, characters were losers, and the scarecrow could do a lot of gymnastix stunts.
I suggest renting this movie for the death scenes, i wont see it again anytime soon, but i enjoyed the excessive violence.
Also, don't bother with the sequel, i watched five minutes of it and was bored to death, it sounds good but isn't.
The original scarecrow actually kept me interested.
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.
Scarecrow is set in the small American town of Emerald Grove where high school student Lester Dwervick (Tim Young) is considered the local nerdy geek by teachers & fellow students alike.
The poor kid suffers daily humiliation, bullying, teasing & general esteem destroying abuse at the hands of his peers.
Unfortunately he doesn't find much support at home since his mom is a slut & after Lester annoys one of her blokes he chases him into a corn field & strangles the poor kid.
However something magical happens (no, the film doesn't suddenly become good), Lester's spirit gets transfered into the corn fields scarecrow which he then uses as a body to gain revenge on those who tormented him & made his life hell...
Co-written, co-produced & directed by Emmanuel Itier who according to the IMDb credit list also has a role in the film as someone called Mr. Duforq although I don't remember any character of this name, I suppose anyone who ends up looking at the IMDb pages for Scarecrow will probably already be aware of it's terrible reputation & I have to say it pretty much well deserved since it's terrible.
The script by Itier, Bill Cunningham & Jason White uses the often told story of one of life's losers who gets picked upon & tormented for no good reason getting their revenge by supernatural means in a relatively straight forward teen slasher flick.
We've seen it all before, we've seen killer scarecrows before, we've seen faceless teens being killed off one-by-one before, we've seen one of life's losers get his revenge before, we've seen wise cracking villains who make jokes as they kill before & we've seen incompetent small town Sheriff's make matters even worse before.
The only real question to answer about Scarecrow is whether it's any fun to watch on a dumb teen slasher type level?
The answer is a resounding no to be honest.
