A Disappointing Continuation
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Let me just start of by saying that the original Scarecrow may indeed be considered a gem in harsh comparison to this movie. How they managed to get a hold of a semi-well known actor like Tony Todd is beyond me. Basically, this movie manages to lose any magic that the first one had. And believe me, some how making a movie WORSE than the first one is a feat. A great and marvelous feat. For those who have watched the first movie, remember lovable Lester Dwervick? OK well he's dead, but for some reason the same exact scarecrow is in this movie. With the death of Lester also went all those crazy one-liners and kung fu flips. That was the only redeeming factor of the first movie. Now, we come to Slayer which is just a half-assed attempt at trying to blah blah...rocket launcher to the face. God this movie sucks.
This might be the worse film I have ever seen. Hard to believe something like this can be made. Has Tony Todd fallen on that bad of times he needs to do things like this? I could not put this with the bad its good or I laughed the whole time bad films was just bad! The whole movie was full of stuff that made no sense that just made you think what the hell is going on now. I expect that from low budget strait to video but this was real bad. No point to most of it.I did think that the scarecrow looked OK and could have been somewhat scary just in the wrong film with this.Seems like the filmmaker has done or been involved in lots of stuff, none i have seen, I might not want to now. God bless much luck for doing something we all love.I would avoid this at all cost free or for $1.00 not worth it.
Well, they got Tony Todd (Candyman) to appear in this movie, to bad it wasn't as good as the first Scarecrow. Yeah he runs around Kung-Fuing his way about killing people, but this time the Scarecrow seems more Serious. I guess if you see this before the first one you might think different about it, hard call though; Scarecrow was more laughs, one liners and just straight low budget horror movie. Scarecrow Slayer is less talk more CG killing and a more serious additude. Again like the first "Scarecrow," yep the girls all look good but no nudity, might have helped the first one, but even nudity in this movie wouldn't have gone over at all. The just of it is a fraternity prank gone bad with revenge upon people he knows, even the girl he loves(Since the Spirit came from her ex-boyfriend: cause he was shot by Tony Todd). The only part worth laughing at is their use of Marines. Ha those idiots couldn't have even been marines if god put them there. They try to shoot the Scarecrow with a Rocket Launcher..... Oops it don't work, ya like that would make sense in a movie. Wait the Marines are running away, ya in what world was this. Oh and to top it off they make a electrical sheet by plugging a power cord into a light socket attached to chicken wire on the floor trying to Electrify the Scarecrow, Uh I don't see that happening, even in another low budget movie. To bad...... well they always say "Sequals usually are no good, unless your Jason!"
The friends Dave (Brett Erickson) and Karl (David Castro) are trying to join a fraternity in their college and they are assigned to bring a scarecrow from an isolated field. Meanwhile, Caleb Kilgore (Tony Todd), a deranged man who wrote several books about evil scarecrows, is being interviewed by a reporter nearby. Caleb sees the scarecrow falling over Dave and shoots with his gun, killing the student and somehow transferring his soul to the scarecrow. The scarecrow chases Dave's girlfriend, killing everybody around her, trying to bring her to the field to stay with him. "Scarecrow Slayer" has a horrible story, terrible screenplay, ham actors and actresses and dreadful direction. It is so ridiculous, that becomes a funny trash-slash movie. I laughed a lot with the story and the performance of the cast, highlight a certain David Castro, performing Karl. The guy is one of the worst actors I have ever seen, and his character is very suitable for the quality of his performance. The heroin, wearing shorts in the middle of a cold night, at least has beautiful legs. If you like very trash movies, do not miss this one. Otherwise, do not rent, buy or get close to this crap. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "O Espantalho" ("The Scarecrow")
