SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Trevor Dewey This is an almost good horror flick: with good cinematography, good actors (Lacey Chabert is quite good throughout) and a well-done CGI Scarecrow.The problem is the plot.First, the movie doesn't properly setup the history of the monster and it doesn't setup the initial monster-meet on Kristen's (Lacey Chabert) old family farm. As mentioned by others, why is there corn growing on a supposedly abandoned farm? But these errors could be forgiven if the rest of the plot held up. It doesn't.In the first half of the movie, various teens do stupid things (wander off alone) and promptly get killed, fair enough - that's the standard trope for this type of movie. In the second half of the movie, the remaining teens, adults do smart things (run fast and far together) and promptly get killed, which is ridiculous.It's a shame because there's a decent horror movie in there somewhere, just needed a script rewrite or two.

TheBlueHairedLawyer 'Scarecrow' has its flaws and its moments; it certainly beats some of the SyFy channel's other movies like "Dark Storm" and "Mongolian Death Worm" but it's cheesy and the characters are shallow. The plot follows a group of teens (who all look to be in their Twenties), who go to a day-long detention repairing a farmhouse right before the town's annual Scarecrow Festival. The main troublemakers seem to be Tyler and Nikki (Nikki is called a Goth but definitely doesn't look the part and is more of a sneaky brat than anything else). Anyway, as the plot goes on, an evil entity called The Scarecrow is disturbed and begins going on a killing rampage, taking any person or animal in the vicinity.The soundtrack wasn't bad, the acting wasn't the best but was better than the usual SyFy casts, and I've gotta say, the effects were pretty good! I was expecting really bad CGI and there was some, but a lot of the effects looked great in the movie. I wish there hadn't been so much sex jokes and that type of thing, crude humor has never appealed to me or made me interested in a horror movie, but it's easy to overlook since it seems to go away once Tyler and Nikki have "bought the farm".All in all, Scarecrow wasn't great, but it was much better than I was expecting. It's worth checking out for a fun Halloween movie with your friends or just to pass the time on a Saturday night. And if you don't like it, at least you can make fun of it.

John Kern Everything in this movie felt like it had been done before, with no effort to add anything original, but I guess that is how it is with low budget direct to TV horror movies. The farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, thinking they've killed the monster, and retreating to another house get help. This movie was not even remotely scary because everything was recycled. Another recycle was someone suggesting sacrificing a victim to the monster to try and get it to stop, but instead a bighearted person steps up to try and save the others. I don't see how this thing was a scarecrow. Almost no gore which was kind of a good thing because it would have made the movie even more cheesy. Mildly entertaining though, because you can almost predict everything that will happen, and want to see if you're right. 2/10 because of this

Blackspecter For this genre the movie is really good. It has a good cast, and as some have mentioned earlier, the female cast get no complains from me. I agree with other reviews that the CGI are quite good, and you can't really complain on acting in this kind of film it's not why you watch them. There are only a few things I got hung up on. One, the monster don't have any resemblance to a scarecrow. Two, there is not a shred of explanation to the story what so ever. If they had mad any kind of attempt to explain why there was a monster and why it did what it did, I would give it a higher rating. Sadly there is none. But besides that it well worth watching.
