Watch Scarecrows For Free

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

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

It feels like they couldn't decide between making an action or a horror movie. Sometimes it also feels like they try to bend the story to match a specific scene. They should have used Bergmans motto: "kill your darling" and cut out some of the "talking" -scenes that doesn't fit in or move the story forward.The main actors couldn't deliver a line if their life depended on it. Try not to smile next time you scream Help! and Stop! And I really hate when they feel the need to set the scene with lines such as; it feels scary! instead of letting the scene play out more naturally and give the actors some more room to act? Several times it actually felt like I was watching two or three movies at the same time. I really liked the sound and music score though.

A Joe Pesci look alike and his military friends rob and kidnap a father/daughter combo, escaping in a jet airplane. During flight, one of the robbers grabs the loot and parachutes onto a farm haunted by demonic scarecrows. They land, and it becomes obvious that the human characters here don't matter, scarecrows are the main draw.It's super low-budget without showing too much, and the acting is very b-movie in an enjoyable way. Unfortunately, the story is just a set up to have guys with guns get sneakily picked off by alie.. I mean predato.. I mean scarecrows.But the simple plot works through decent effects, competent direction, and the scarecrows themselves. (They're near invulnerable, wield knives, pitchforks, cleavers, and sew people full of leaves to make them into zombified slaves.) There's some genuinely creepy moments and some laughable schlock. If you don't go in expecting much, this can be a fun ride.

Five people rob the Camp Pendleton payroll, kidnap a pilot and his daughter, who are forced to fly them to Mexico. Enroute a double cross has one of the thieves parachute with the loot into an abandoned graveyard surrounded by strange scarecrows. Two of the team jump after their loot and their former partner. Everything happens during the course of one night.....If you yearn for Army versus Scarecrows, you've got the movie you wished for. Everybody else, this is a mundane excuse for a horror film, and probably one of the first instances where gore favours the scares.To be honest the film is really pants and nothing happens. Every five or ten minutes we are treated to a decent shot of a scarecrow, and someone gets killed or stuffed. Repeat this for eighty minutes and you have a bad, boring, bland film, with only a dog with cataracts as the redeeming part of the film.

Five criminals stage a daring, violent robbery of an army payroll at a camp named Pendleton, and abduct a father and daughter to fly them to safety. However, the mastermind of the robbery decides to make off with the proceeds and parachutes down into a remote rural area. Naturally, his enraged comrades follow. However, what they don't expect is the nearby farm is populated with scarecrows - stealthy, sneaky, sadistic zombie scarecrows who decimate the gang one lowlife at a time.I know that that sounds pretty silly, but give director William Wesley and crew credit for handling this premise better than you'd think. They never go the purely cheesy route, largely staying away from blatant humour (although there are some amusing, silly gags near the end) and any sort of camp. What they do instead is milk the atmosphere for all that's it worth, and when it comes down to that aspect of the movie, it's very well done.They also make the interesting move of never truly explaining things, in terms of how these scarecrows could come to be that way. The scarecrows are genuinely ugly and ferocious, and there aren't too many shots of the things shambling around, which would undermine their effectiveness. And speaking of ferocity, the gore in this movie is extremely enjoyable, as we get to see stabbings, decapitations, and the sight of a character who's had their innards removed to be replaced with the purloined money.This is entertaining stuff here, that gets down to business right away and moves forward at a respectable pace. (If it weren't for a pretty slow end credits crawl, the running time would still come in around 80 minutes or so.) The characters are reasonably entertaining & the acting gets the job done; it's a hoot to see the character Curry (Michael David Simms) lose it as he realizes how screwed the whole bunch of them are. Ted Vernon, who also takes an executive producer credit, is good in the top billed role of Corbin; he looks tough and bad ass but is really a sensitive kind of guy, as he tries to look out for the young female captive Kellie (Victoria Christian, who is actually dubbed by Bambi Darro).Lovers of indie horror, and the scarecrow sub genre, are sure to find this a pleasing enough movie that can claim to be legitimately spooky, and delivers a number of fine sequences as it plays out.Seven out of 10.
