The back of his head was balding for God's sake.
There is much more I could say about this film, like it's cheap special effects, it's "high school film class" effort, but the point is understood.
It's just bad film making at it's worst.
As for what I found to be "good" in the movie: -Entertaining for those with low, low, LOW standards -Would help put insomniacs to sleep.
-A very cheap laugh, or even a giggle.
First off, let me start with a quote a friend of mine said while watching this movie: "This entire movie had to have been a dare.
You know, like, 'DUDE, I BET YOU COULDN'T MAKE THE WORST MOVIE EVER'."
With this movie, they've made a good effort at achieving that title.
The effects are, of course, poor.
The plot/dialogue is like a collage of of bits stolen from every B horror movie ever made.
The actors, I'm assuming, are supposed to be in college.
Yet parts of it (especially at the beginning) make it seem like they're supposed to be in high or middle school.
It makes no sense.
The Scarecrow going around killing people isn't the least bit enjoyable.
(SPOILER: At the end, when they chant Lester's name and he reappears, the black guy and Scarecrow are both laughing, probably out of relief they were on their last scene, and at the cheesy dialogue.)
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.
I've gotta say, I usually like horror movies that i've never seen...
however, this one was just to pathetic for my gory taste.
I'm used to the gory, gut wrenching types...
but this particular movie was lame.
The acting was horrible (yet the corny (no pun intended) one-liners were cute).
And the sequel to it, Scarecrow Slayer was even worse!
Yes, probably, when it first came out, there was a huge rave about it and people liked it.
But when movies like The Ring and The Exorcist of Emily Rose come out, movies like these make movies like Scarecrow seem childish.
If you want a movie to just pass the time, pick this one!
The special effects are cheesy as heck.
But seeing that it was a low budget movie, I can kind of see where that would come in.
This will kind of remind you of the movie "Children Of The Corn."
Independent movies rock....
most of the time.
So if you want to see a scarecrow killing people with corncobs, or in the sequel, 2 scarecrows going at it, then these movies would be for you.
I'm watching this on the Sci-Fi channel right now.
It's so horrible I can't stop watching it!
I'm a Videographer and this movie makes me sad.
I feel bad for anyone associated with this movie.
Some of the camera work is good.
Most is very questionable.
There are a few decent actors in the flick.
Too bad they're surrounded by what must have been the director's relatives.
That's the only way they could have been qualified to be in a movie!
Music was a little better than the acting.
If you get around to watching this I hope it's because there was absolutely NO other option!
The sequel (yes sequel) is coming on now....
I think I'll skip it!
Jason
Wow, what can I say about this film?
It's a lousy piece of crap.
I'm surprised that it got rated as high as it did.
What's wrong with this film?
Here's a better question: What's NOT wrong with this film.
The story itself is just crap and cliché.
Here's pretty much what it's about...
Some kinda nerdy kid with no friends gets picked on, gets killed, and comes back as a scarecrow for revenge.
"All" of that is packed into 86 minutes of worthless film.
If you haven't seen this movie don't waste your time watching it.
Also, the second one isn't much better, so don't bother watching that either...
I rated this movie a three because I liked the scarecrow's outfit, not because there was anything good about the movie.
I think you get the picture.
A far as B-movies go, SCARECROW is one of those that are so bad, that it becomes incredibly annoying to sit through.
A lonely loser high school student who is constantly picked on by classmates and rejected by girls, ends up walking in on his trailer trash mother having sex with a drunk redneck.
He then chases the kid out into a nearby cornfield and kills him.
Apparently, the kids soul was transfered into a scarecrow which then goes around killing the bullies who tormented him as well as teachers.
This scarecrow, aside from having a snappy one-liner for each of his victims, can also do Matrix-like flips through the air and kill people on sidewalks in broad daylight.
Also, why did he always look like a rotted corpse?
Just like the two needless sequels that followed this, this isn't even worth a laugh.
Okay, 'enjoy' is a pretty relative term, but flexibility is in order when you're dealing with a filmmaker of James Glickenhaus' calibre.
McBain is truly one of the most ridiculous, over the top action films I've ever seen, without the nasty edge of The Exterminator.
Other reviews have commented on a suspension of disbelief regarding the film's heroic middle aged commandos, but how about making a film in the Philippines that is set in Colombia?
All the extras are Filipino.
In fact the only character who looks remotely Hispanic is good ol' Victor Argo as the much reviled 'El Presidente'!
Oh yes, we also have Maria Conchita Alonso overemoting like crazy as a rebel leader.
There are tons of explosions and bodies flying everywhere in this amusing paean to the glories of American imperialism.
I purchased this film on the cheap in a sale, having read the back of the DVD case and assuming that either way I can't lose, it if was rubbish then no loss, if it was any good then bargain...
Then I watched it...
I am normally a fan of Christopher Walken, but in this film he commanded very little screen presence, seeming not to do a whole lot, even the death of his friend near the beginning which sparks off the "action" in the plot seems to affect him very little, and his eventual revenge is just boring and undramatic.
Normally a film which has themes as grand as revolution and revenge are able to capture the audience and snare them into feeling something for the characters, however watching this film felt more like seeing a series of confused, and almost random events that loosely tied together towards it's eventual conclusion...
