      Audience Member I've seen a lot of horror films and Scareycrows is now one of my favorites. It's a fun premise: the scarecrows setup all over a small town in England for a holiday celebration start attacking the residents. People's friends start disappearing and everyone is vulnerable to attacks from any of the scarecrows that appear EVERYWHERE around town. As you could probably tell from the premise, Scareycrows mixes horror and comedy. The film is very well made for an independent film in all facets. Usually indie horror films are lacking in some department, but Scareycrows was well written, directed, and acted. Personally, I also enjoyed seeing a horror comedy set in a small English town on the water since it just felt refreshingly different. For those who like horror/comedies, I highly recommend Scareycrows! 5/5! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This quirky horror/comedy film will catch you off guard with how charming and witty it is. It's gloriously goofy in all the right ways and thoroughly involving. It reminded me of SHAUN OF THE DEAD (which is a movie that I love) in the may that it deftly mixed comedy and horror, becoming more and more suspenseful as the story progressed. This film is a true original, though, and does its own thing. If you're looking for an offbeat and wickedly sharp film, you should definitely check out SCAREYCROWS. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member For the sake of full disclosure, I'm an anglophile, and specifically when it comes to English humor: The Monty Python/Young Ones/Benny Hill trifecta are all long-term tenants in my comedy Pantheon. From the opening moments of Scareycrows, I excitedly realized that I had stumbled onto a comedy that would prove indigenously, stubbornly English: The jokes are as dry as they are knowing; there's a high degree of ridiculousness that must be joyously embraced; and the suspension of disbelief is a prerequisite. For those requiring plausibility, look elsewhere, as Scareycrows isn't that kind of party. Director Lucy Townsend waves her magic indie wand over a story in which a hairdresser in training finds her charming little town infested by murderous..."scareycrows" (fabulous!). Townsend takes a script that revels in the smartly inane and does a superlative job blurring the lines between indie and lower-budget major studio by exhibiting her great choices in casting, cinematography, and actor direction. This film is boldly tongue-in-cheek and unapologetically veers into goofball territory whenever Townsend wills it there (which is often). Those whose eyes require the homogenized sheen of major studio productions are encouraged to consider how sadly rare true absurdity is in those larger offerings. Scareycrows is gloriously ludicrous filmmaking which awaits your courageous embrace. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun goofy ensemble cast. Also loved the small town feel, the soundtrack, of this ridiculous horror! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Really enjoyable film! I love horror comedies, and this one reminded me of Shaun of the Dead. Really great acting, especially the lead, and solid gore and action as well. Loved where the ending climactic scene was set because I had never seen a movie filmed in such a place. Glad I watched. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny and entertaining bit of horror/slashing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times Though it's never really scary, it is appropriately silly and a fun time for genre fans who prefer giggles to gore. Sep 21, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
