I would at one point refuse to watch movies, but i have become a real movie fan and i always give more positive reviews than i should.
I would say this is a good movie but i had a feeling it could of been a lot better i felt that the film was lacking something, it lacked something that really good movies have.
I would say this film is just to pass time and not to just sit down and watch a really epic movie.
I would say watch it if you have nothing else to watch, you will be slightly entertained.
I give this movie 5/10
Peace from the U.K

Husk – CATCH IT (B) Husk is a combination of Jeepers Creepers and Children of the Corn (Kind of). The film follows five friends on a weekend holiday who become stranded in a secluded farmland after wild crows attack their SUV. The friends soon realize that the cornfields are inhabited by reanimated, vicious human scarecrows who produce their offspring by killing anyone they get a hold of and force their undead victims to join their ranks. Even though the story and characters are cliché there is a good screenplay to it. C.J. Thomason as Chris, Devon Graye as Scott, Wes Chatham as Brian, Tammin Sursok as Natalie and Ben Easter as Johnny did a decent job. Overall, I had fun time getting scared of the Husk, it's not something out of the box but it's not mediocre either. Good time pass.
Not entirely bad but also far from good. It's a teen-slasher, done by the "1 by 1"-formula, so it has naturally major holes in the narrative and is 100% predictable. Following well exploited ingredients play a major role: cornfield, lone house in middle west, scarecrow, scary stitches. Unsolvable mystery: a car that stops working because it rolled in a ditch. The movie is professionally done, which in this case means that it is a consumer product, not very imaginative and lacking depth in the storytelling. My guess is that it came into existence because someone wanted to make a quick dollar. If it had a message, it was well hidden.
I kind of liked the overall atmosphere. I also thought the sound was done well and the acting was not embarrassing, so I gave it 4 points. Yes, I feel generous today..

Five friends on a road trip crash into a ditch in remote farmland, and on passing through a cornfield to get help at a nearby house blunder into a ghostly trap.
The action sparks off with minimal set up - no beating about the bush as they ... beat about the bush. The cornfield setting is effective, the house adds to the claustrophobia, and the whole thing is brought home in a well judged run-time.
Characterisation is poor, but the acting is tolerable. A lot of frustration with characters' choices, especially their insistence on not sticking together for safety. The group should have had a coherent dynamic, but they're little more than a random selection, and the dialogue is bog standard. Also the cheesy insistence on splashing gasoline on the ground but then oddly not setting it on fire - you raise a loaded gun, you better use it.
The story is saved by a coherent mythology that adds depth and allows a plausible twist to bring about a satisfying end. Helped along by the pacey sound effects and music.
Overall, basic concept that's well executed.

I have to say I enjoyed this movie. When I got my hands on it there wasn't much info about it here except negative stuff so I wasn't really expecting much. Still I decided(like always after seeing a new movie w/ no ratings yet bashed here) to peep the trailer. The trailer gave the impression that it could go either way so I decided to give it a shot.
I was pleasantly surprised to find it to be a nice little Horror movie. Even though at times It felt like I was watching a TV movie it still held my attention throughout the film. Most of the characters were only one one dimensional, but its a horror flick so thats forgivable. The unfolding of the back-story of the house was done just right not getting ahead of itself and becoming too predictable. Generally a good flick for a rainy Sunday afternoon or a late-night movie.
Probably only deserves a 6, but since I love Horror flicks and this movie had about 20 "1" ratings before it was even released I gave it a 7.
IBMD really shouldn't allow people to vote on movies before they're released because all the people with grudges against the writers/directors come along and vote 1. Or the opposite happens and the whole film crew gives it 10's which prompts trolls to counter it with 1's and the crazy loop continues. Anyway, final vote is a 7.
Recommended to those who like Haunted house films.

- GoofsWhen the kids are trying to hot-wire the truck, every time the engine turns over the headlights and parking lights light up, then they go out when the engine stops; that's backwards. If the lights were on at all, the load of the starter motor turning the engine over would dim them.
