The things I have learned from this movie are remarkable, things I never would have guessed otherwise. I do warn you though, there are spoilers.
1) Spring Break doesn't consist of many people on a beach, but instead a small group friends...
2) Daylight is a tricky thing and can disappear to night, then dawn, then night again within a period of five minutes.
3) Scarecrows can whistle.
4) Scarecrows can whistle under water.
5) Scarecrows can drive trucks.
6) Boom mikes are not obviously visible while shooting or editing, but very visible when watching the movie.
7) Mirrors don't show your outer appearance, but instead what you are on the inside.
8) Scarecrows are weak against defibrillators.
9) Scarecrows lose track of people very easily on an open beach.
10) A wrestler is no match for the mighty power of a scarecrow.
11) Being lightly slapped can knock you unconscious.
12) Drunk people like terrible guitar solos.
13) When a spear-like object stabs through someone, it sticks through them at a completely different angle.
14) If you are being dragged along a beach, screaming for help, no one will help you, despite there being two people on the same side of the beach as you.(Check the background beach around when the girl finds her dead boyfriend, where could those two people go to in a matter of minutes?)
15) When you spill your innards, they rest neatly on top of your skin.
16) Finally, people don't show any signs of worry when their friends disappear for many hours without explanation.
This movie is very informative, I hope you have learned something from it. So Yeah.

This is a typical direct to video horror movie, with the exception of Samantha Aisling, the acting is pretty bad (especially Ken Shamrock). I thought Samantha Aisling was very attractive and a pretty good actor, especially considering that according to IMDb this is her only film. Hopefully we'll be seeing a lot more of her in the near future. This isn't a horrible movie, but I don't think anyone renting this should be expecting award winning movie making. If you go realizing it is a low budget horror movie it's pretty good. I thought the special effects were pretty good, the scarecrow looks fairly scary as long as they don't show close-ups of it. When they show close-ups it looks like what it is... I guy in a Halloween mask. One of the things I did like about it was that, in most every horror movie, the monster waits until each person is alone then kills them one by one. The scarecrow actually attacks them as a group, nothing really special, just something different. I liked it, it's good for a minor scares and a couple of laughs. I gave it a 5/10
Scarecrow Gone Wild is one of the most campy and cheesy movies I have ever seen, but I liked it. I liked about 90% of it anyways. I think it went about 10-15 minutes too long. The movie itself was only 90 minutes so I guess you could say it lacked some content because I wanted it to end at around 75 minutes or so.
In the first scene, I though the camera work was going to drive me crazy. It reminded me of The Blair Witch Project. Turns out that was just the director's way of making the chase scene a little different and, I guess, unique.
I was looking forward to Ken Shamrock's motion picture debut and have to say that I was sorely disappointed. The guy's a great fighter and even a pretty good professional wrestler, but unfortunately lacks in the acting department. I really wanted to like him in this movie, but he didn't bring any of his strengths to the table. Plus, he was barely in the movie, and half of it was a stretch just to get him in the scene.
Matthew Linhardt, Samantha Aisling and Tara Platt offered respectable performances. Not to mention, Tara was quite a refreshing piece of eye candy. Something about her reminds me of Rebecca Gayheart, and you get to see quite a bit of her.
I'm undecided on David Zelina's performance, only because I haven't seen any of his other work. Seems he's just trying to recreate Stiffler from the American Pie series.
Despite the campy and cheesiness of this movie, it's what we've come to expect from this genre and I think most of us have grown to like it, at least a little bit. I give this movie 7 of 10.

Wow! Here comes another straight-to-video scarecrow movie to keep the cinematic masochists happy. If the cheap-looking opening credits don't tell you you're in for quite a ride, then the diabolically tragic "writing" sure will.
A diabetic kid gets tied on to a legendary scarecrow as part of his initiation onto the baseball team. Then the scarecrow goes nuts and starts offing people. Need I say more? This movie consists greatly of cheap effects that makes it look like it was edited with iMovie (note that spooky color inversion) and actors who apparently weren't good enough to show up on some late-night Cinemax special. Actually, thats not fair, as the actors didn't have much room to work around the abysmal script. Parts of this movie really seem like parody, especially when one character picks up his guitar and starts playing the worst song ever conceived by humans, with the worst lip-synching ever performed to go along with it. The "gore" here is also a major disappointment. In most B-movies such as this, there is a thick layer of cheap gore FX to make up for what the story and acting lacks. Here, the stuff is so cheap that it's not even fun. This movie actually makes "Jack Frost 2" look like lots of fun in comparison.
If you think this movie is the "worst one you've ever seen" then you probably haven't gotten deep into the world of straight-to-video B-horror. Regardless, this movie will cause you a great deal of mental anguish, no matter what your background.

I supposed 'Scarecrow Gone Wild' is a dull slasher flick. Yes, it have some good point, but it's a rehash from another flick. The acts is so awful nor the plot.
The story goes from a legend about a living scarecrow on the cornfield. When an initiation become a prank and cause the life a boy in jeopardy, the scarecrow comes alive and start a killing frenzy. Sound familiar, right? It's derived from Scream, Friday the13th, Jeepeer Creepers, Children of the Corn, you name it!
'Scarecrow Gone Wild' is so below average film. Barely have a scary moment. Even the final scene is laughable! Sadly, we still could enjoy it as our time killer. But I prefer you to watch something else instead. Unless you're a big fan bad and cheesy movies, off course.
4/10
