Scarecrow's Revenge

This movie is sooooo bad. At 20:10 you can see a red and a black car parked in the forest. For real!? And I found this skipping like crazy. Imagine what the rest will show. The whole move screams amateurs. So I reward it with one star. I feel I've done my share of public service for the day.

Growing up in a rural farming community, it doesn't take much to understand why I am drawn to Scarecrow Horror even though it's rarely even half as good as the 80s TV horror film with Larry Drake (Dark Night of the Scarecrow) it isn't even on par with horror-action-hybrid Scarecrows from 1988, hell you'd be better off watching Jeff Burr's Night of the Scarecrow or the heartfelt ode to a lost sibling in Mark Polonia's HalloweeNight but here I am, logging Bride of Scarecrow from UK's female "Charlie Band" filmmaker Louisa Warren who has a string of films about Scarecrows, Leprechauns and tooth fairies which as I type it...that sounds great! But the movies are....not great!

So, the other reviews are not without merit, but, it is a low budget horror. I didn't go into this one expecting too much. Especially when it has a current 2.4 star rating. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen. I picked this up for under $3 on DVD and have zero regrets. Sure the acting is sub par and at points way over done, the costuming at times is laughable for the time period it's supposed to be and i'm not going to start with the dialogue, but, in the end it was entertaining. I do enjoy low budget horror though and watch plenty of them. The story is decent and will most likely watch again.

A couple points for the concept, which appeals to my cheesy B-movie loving heart. On paper, it sounds great: vikings VS scarecrows! What's not to love? Mixing genres and giving slasher movies a new setting could've been a real plus.

One extra point for the witch lady, whose "acting" makes her seem like she could really use an exorcism.

Otherwise, this is pretty dull, with an elongated and frankly boring opening stalk-a-thon that evaporated my hopes for this being any fun right away.

What were have here is a movie that looks like a bunch of friends were trying to find uses for their ren faire costumes, but also happened to have a scarecrow getup lying around that they didn't want to go to waste.

The result is a movie about a group of unconvincing "vikings" being picked off slasher-style by a shambling scarecrow. Kinda makes you wonder how these guys managed to do any conquering when a really slow dude in rags can take out them out so easily, but hey.

Nowhere near as amusing as the silly premise made me hope.

This is based on my opinion tbh. I bought this movie a few months ago, I didn't have time until now so I popped it in and I watched like 10 minutes of it and immediately took it out cause it was so bad! The actors and actresses showed no expressions of terrified what so ever, the killer scarecrow did a terrible job jumpscaring and wasn't that scary and the witch's face was bad editing.
