The Scar Crow

This film wasn't worth watching. I was bored within 2 minutes of the film starting. The storyline was OK, but the acting was terrible and so were the effects. I mean, it was meant to be a horror and I wasn't scared at any point during the film. If anything, this film was disturbing. It was as if some guys just got drunk and filmed one of there fantasies, because that's what it seemed like. My dreams are better than that movie! I don't even know why Virgin Media had it on the movie list! This film was a waste of my time. I can't believe it even got released. Don't watch it, you'll only regret it. I only watched it because the description was good.

This is the debut film for Peter Benson and Andy Thompson, and is infused with enough directorial touches to keep things entertaining.

It isn't perfect. The male characters are not only grotesque but one-note grotesque. Endless sex-bragging and leery pub jokes ensure that none of them will win the sympathy of the audience. The supposed good guy of the group, for example, is more than happy to betray his partner for a quick fumble in the hay. It's difficult to know how the audience is supposed to react to these people - are they intended to be funny? Is the intention that we long for their death? Are they supposed to represent real people?

This is a shame because with a lightness of touch sadly missing, they might have been people we believe in, which would have improved things. As it is, I enjoyed this as a slightly unusual hybrid combining a Hammer-esque horror feel in places with the video nasties of the '80s. The gore is impressive and convincing for a low-budget venture such as this.

The three female characters are rather better realised and well-played. The temptation could have been to overact, but that's not the case here. There are some mild sex scenes which curiously fail to carry any kind of erotic charge. My score is 6 out of 10.

I guess that most the other reviewers are millennial's that were programed at what passes for a school these days to hate just about everything unless it makes them feel good. They really need to go find their safe place and not watch any more movies. Now I don't think this is a great movie but it is watchable. I really didn't care for any of the characters and that is where this movie falls short with me.

Come on ppl, lighten up. Yes theacting is terrible and the camera work is juvenile but rate it for what it is - low budget. The plot was interesting and i think it was written well. This is not a 1 movie. 1 movies make no sense, show boom mikes, don't have a definitive plot and end with you saying, whoa at the sheer mess of it. This movie wasn't like that.

I'll get straight to the point and wont beat around the bush ... this is the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life! I was bored within the first 2 minutes of the film and feel ashamed that I have spent 2 hours of my life .. THAT I'LL NEVER GET BACK.. watching this poor excuse of a "HORROR" film! The budget of this film was probably around £12.50 and it appears as though they grabbed anyone off the street to play the main characters in this film! I'm utterly shocked that this film was allowed to be released for the public to view it.

Unless you are into stupid story lines, terrible acting and blood that's probably just ketchup... DO NOT WATCH IT!
