Scarecrow's Revenge

In 804 AD men did not have wrist watch tan lines and clothing labels flopping about the neck of their Pier One tunics. Also, chrome hadn't been invented yet much less wired telephone poles. Don't even get me started on the cars you can see through the trees and the constant thrum of traffic just yards away.

I can forgive having vikings with accents from multiple countries. I can even forgive the countless historical inaccuracies. I don't even mind that all the swords had round ends. But I can't forgive the terrible writing, acting and action. The fight scenes were the worst I have ever seen. I also can't overlook that they couldn't even come close to matching the color of blood. Did I mention at one point you can see an airplane trail in the sky? The costumes and dialogue were so inaccurate that I would have never even guessed that they were vikings. Luckily, they mention that they are vikings every 30 seconds. And they are not savages. I gave it 2 stars because sadly, I have seen worse. I definitely wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

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.

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.

First off I gave it 1-Star, come IMDb start putting minus stars on these things. I read in one review where it was watch for 10 mins, REALLY DUDE! Ten while minutes to know this is bad, Let me tell you what I found bad about Scarecrow's Revenge ... EVERY DAMN THING! The actors must have worn the casting couch out to get money to make this garbage.

What's with film makers who keep using the old tired events in movies, like a person is being chased by a killer, a creature, bad guys, they run 20 feet and fall down and look behind them as if waiting on their close up, and trotting through a scene is not running. Gawd if you fall while being chase, your dumb ass need to be killed. Or in most movies someone suffers with Asthma, Gawd when will it ever stop, this is just a couple of rants about movies and the lame morons and nimrod in Hollywood who keep rehashing old tired scenes in movies. As for this one ... IT'S BAD FROM START TO FINISH! They couldn't even figure out how to hang a Scarecrow from a cross post in a cornfield. He or it was standing on the ground with his arm(s) draped over the post. Just sad.

Come on IMDb, adjust your ratings to include negative ratings, One Star isn't low enough for this turkey, and I apologize to all the turkeys, I may has insulted by the comparison.
