Scarecrow

04-17-2003, 09:23 PM

Just rented a movie called Scarecrow. I thought it was lousy. It is low low budget & the scarecrow is not scary. Has anyone else seen this? I would not recommend it, not even for a laugh.

Figured it would be lousy. Makes me want to see "Night of the Scarecrow" or even "Scarecrows" from the late 80's.

One of the worst horror films I have seen in years. I can't believe that a piece of shit movie like this can already have a sequel planned. And the worst thing is that it's dedicated to Argento, Fulci, and a bunch of other horror legends. What a joke!

Yep, there truly hasn't been a very good scarecrow movie since the classic TV flick, "Dark Night Of The Scarecrow." Anyone remember this little gem that starred Charles Durning who also starred in "When A Stranger Calls?" DNOTS needs a DVD release in a big way. Hell, it's been oop for years and you'll probably end up paying an arm and a leg for a beat up VHS copy on EBAY. I did, and I regret it since the copy I "won" is pathetic.

Anyway, I hope this is another DVD release we can all look forward to in the near future.

Scarecrows was really creepy as far as I can remember.

I bought this yesterday because it was cheap (about $5) and has Tiffany Shepis (The Hazing) in it. I'll post my thoughts when I'm done watching it.

Hmmm, me, I love this flick, cheesy as hell with some good gore. I got the video fairly cheap and was amazed. Any flick that has a killer scarecrow (that looks pretty cool) combined with a cover that awesome and a scene where the scarecrow smashes a guy's neck with a shovel and says 'CAN YOU DIG IT?" is welcome in my collection any day of the week.

Can't deny the cheese in this one. Had it's fun but also sucky moments. The Rock soundtrack was rather annoying, the final song playing over the end credits was hilarious ... unintentional of course

The rest was a mix between "The Matrix and Dario Argento" according to the (French) director

Tiffany Shepis was outstanding as usual though, she kinda made this flick watchable. I think she's a pretty cool actress.

Tiffany is definitely tasty, about the only reason I watched this one in the first place!

"The Matrix and Dario Argento" ??? LOL, I guess there was a reason I only fast-forwarded through the special features.

I Wish Anchor Bay Would Release Scarecrows 1988 Unrated One Of The Best And Creepy Gems Of The 80's

The Chaostar · 01-10-2005, 01:01 AM

I still own the greek VHS tape. Saw it again today, just out of curiosity. The film still stands up well, right on fceurich39. Very creepy.

Haven't seen Scarecrow though.

I Have It On Vhs Unrated Version Recorded But Superior Quality Very Clean Also Interesting Note Scarecrows Is Pretty Popular On Dvd On Ebay Even Though It Is A Bootleg
