Joseph K I really did enjoy this movie, and sure it has bad acting in it. But I've seen way worst films than this one. I love this movie and the characters, especially the main character, not only that the film uses a "Real-life" situation, like bullying. But hey I really love this movie; this show is my old favorite childhood horror movie. This is such an Underrated Gem! I love this movie and this character. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/22 Full Review joel c Meh this movie was okay, its not the worst movie ever at all I thought it was a mediocre movie. The best thing about this movie were the death scenes and yes the acting is pretty terrible the scarecrow killer is a good awesome killer. So as I said this movie was okay not as bad as what people make it out to be 2.5 out of 5 stars. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was another film I sorta fell into because the lovely Tiffany Shepis was a part of it, and I was relieved to see that she's at least in the majority of the film. The oddball stuff with this movie is that it's the typical revenge tale, with a bullied guy dying at the hands of his tormentors, then seeking revenge as a wise-cracking scarecrow that can do martial arts for some inexplicable reason? Rental? Maybe? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Mystery Science Theater treatment should be served here. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun little low budget horror flick that never truly realises its potential and yet managed to produce several sequels. I like the character design of the Scarecrow and there are a couple decent kills in the film but the low budget nature of the film truly shines through with terrible acting, a poorly developed story, and not enough bloody kills to make it worthwhile. Still I'd recommend this one for all those out there looking for a scarecrow based horror film... I think there are enough to make a subgenre at this point Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I bought this movie when I found it in a discount bin for a dollar. After all, I figured even a bad movie would be worth a buck. I was wrong. In fact, I should be paid for pain and suffering for sitting it. Basically Lester, who looks like one of the oldest high school students ever, is killed by one of his mother's boyfriends. To hide the murder, they place his body under a scarecrow, which displays the level of logic this movie follows. Afterwards, his soul inhabits the scarecrow and he starts a campaign of revenge. However, instead of being shy and awkward, as the scarecrow Lester now attacks using some sort of kung-fu while spouting horrible puns. It's like the twisted love child of Chuck Norris and the Cryptkeeper. One of the silliest moments is when he goes after his neglectful mother, who is able to successful defend herself using a pan of hot bacon grease. Seriously. This film isn't even so bad that it's entertaining. It's just bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
