I am very open when it comes to movies, especially horror movies. There was a time I would watch anything, thinking it _might_ be good. The ratings might be wrong. But this movie right here is absolutely not worth watching.It is incredibly bad. It is not entertaining at all. Shoestring budget? More like, pebble caught in the sole of your shoe-budget. I don't mind low budgets, as long as the result is good. Here the result is not good.There is nothing about this movie making it worth watching. There are some effects, and they might be the worst I have ever seen. They are so, very very bad. And no, I don't think the movie is made to be bad, it's just made to hopefully earn a couple bucks off people willing to give it a chance. Which you shouldn't.It is so bad, so boring. Never watch it. It has no good qualities.
... was I let down when I saw The Asylum made this. Well, it's a sequel to their 2002 movie Scarecrow, which I haven't seen. But here's what I think of this movie: It's not good. Period. It's a typical Asylum movie, which means that the effects are Atrocious, with a capital "A". Every death scene is green-screen. And you SEE it. The acting's alright, I guess, you could do worse. Final girl's okay, the Sheila character is a delightfully over-the-top blonde BJ sk*nk. But then we've got Elizabeth Perry, who couldn't deliver a line naturally if her firstborn son's life depended on it. And then there's Tony Todd. His performance in this movie is Oscar-worthy. I mean it. He gets the pain across that his character feels. SO WELL. I'd even say check it out just because of Tony, then turn it off when the Scarecrow kills him in the hospital. Ah yeah, the Scarecrow: Costume's alright, but did he have to pull off all those Ninja moves? That was totally lame. Yes, David had a black belt, but why does the Scarecrow have to flip through the air like Jackie Chan. Makes no sense.Again: Check it out for Tony Todd, then dump it.PS: Another capturing scene has Robin Daléa (credited as Robin Meyers) in a car backing up away from the scarecrow. Watch her reaction. It's priceless.
The movie was so unbelievably bad that it was good. This is assuming that you are watching the movie with friends who will not just make fun of it, but rip it to pieces as you watch. This means that you shouldn't watch the movie with any of the stiffs who declared it the worst movie ever because of the terrible effects, acting, lingo, customs, lack of plot, and so on. They cannot truly appreciate a movie that was purposefully made so bad that people would not have a good time watching it, but instead would have an amazingly fulfilling experience making fun of it. If you like movies that make you feel like you could easily create a better movie in your backyard without even having a video camera then this is the movie for you. If you one of those people who limit the qualities of a good movie to having good plot, acting, effects, lingo, and so on; then you aren't worthy of the Scarecrow Slayer experience and should rethink everything about your movie watching life before it's too late. SCRARECROW SLAYER + FRIENDS = BEST MOVIE EVER!!!
I can honestly say I liked the first 5 minutes or so. After the first three deaths it turned to crap. It was so crappy I was laughing hysterically. The final battle...oh man....that was just funny! This is in no way a good film. The WORST $5 bin buy ever (keep in mind I got BOTH films on the disk). Sorry, but it was bad. At least it had some decent drama, which the first lacked. The scarecrow was a bit more sadistic, but still not enough. If you watch it, do it with friends and intend to make fun of it. It looks like the special effects crew consisted of a 15 year old with a Mac computer who just had to test out its video capabilities. I'm literally grinning just thinking back on the "cut-in-half" and and "holding the scarecrow" parts. WWWOOOOAAAAHHHHHAAAAAHAHAAAAHHHAHAAAA, next time get more than one good cast member and a avoid digital effects!
