this movie sucks. just straight out, it sucks. i bought it for the box cover because it looked scary, but like that piece of s**t S.I.C.K., the box art fooled you. it is about this kid who gets pushed around and then this redneck guy who looks like mario(maybe the only entertaining part of the movie, if you like funny stuff) strangles him and 'SOMEHOW' this "nerd's" soul gets transfered into a scarecrow. he goes around killing people. you see, this is actually not a bad idea for a movie... but... the way the put it on film SUCKED. there are three main(there are many more than that actually) things that could have fixed this film. they are, john carpenter as director, use AT LEAST 8mm or super 8 and not f***ing digital cameras, and lose the acrobat sh** where the scarecrow does flips and that is just stupid.
i had to put these films two spaces down from that review so they wouldn't get contaminated with this... uhh... "movie", i guess you could say.
i recommend these highly: tourist trap, halloween(forget the sequels), black Christmas, all the fridays, the nightmare box set, Texas chainsaw(original and remake), prom night, the funhouse, there are many more, i just can't fit them all on here. scarecrow sucks, and this is coming from a guy who thinks jack frost is cool and mildly scary, at least it was well done and had some cool lines, well it aint f***in frosty! that was rad. not like hello, dadio, like it that sh**fest scarecrow. true horror fans, fans of crap like scream and the ring, even fans of old silent films and fans of baseball, everyone, stay away from this film, it has no genre, unless sh** is a genre.
