– (2016) – A group of friends tread upon a forbidden barn on Halloween and face the dire consequences. Allegedly takes place in 1989, but aside from some lingo this looks pretty modern. Has some okay gore, but anything dealing with character drama is awful.
– (2002) – A rock band travels to a locale where a scarecrow-type killer is picking them off. Shows promise in the scenario, but never takes off since nothing new ever occurs. Standard nonsense that never rises above mediocrity.
– (2004) – A college initiation prank leads to the resurrection of a murderous scarecrow. Spends most of its time dealing with a few hospitalized victims, rather than have the titular villain establish a body count. The F/X are awful, the characters are dumb, and the marine inclusions are useless.
– (2009) – A farmer in financial ruin plants a scarecrow that further complicates his life. Like the previous entry, the story isn’t too bad but the delivery is ruined by a lack of overall movement. Decent in horrific and smutty spurts, but too drab overall.
– (2011) – Friends on a road trip are detoured by crows and living scarecrows. Some ideas are appreciative, and the overall story is fueled by horror, but nothing means much since the characters are so typical. Means well, but lacks suspense and reason.
– (2007) – Small town religious freaks seek a girl in order to impregnate her with a host for their dead leader. Has a strange concept that invites a variety of horror themes, but most of them fail to make sense. Moves quickly and has above-average acting, but the plot is too dim to fully impress.
– (2007) – A group of semi-friends enter an attraction where imagined fears become real. Takes itself too seriously, as none of the fears are established through anything but lame transitions. Has professional moments, but the overall story and its progressions are sheer garbage.
– (2004) – Six friends staying at a cabin encounter a murderous scarecrow. Lacks originality, to say the least, and only gets by on a miniscule length. The acting is atrocious, but some cheap gore helps hold attention.
– (2004) – A father searches for his daughters in a corn maize where two other girls were murdered. Could easily have been shown in half the time, but decides to display scene after scene of nothing happening. Inept in all areas, especially editing and pace, and eventually elicits rage.
– (2004) – A man inherits a farm where a deal with the devil was once struck to keep crops growing. The killer scarecrows sure look dumb, but add to the overall feel of cheap zest. Occasionally okay, but a bit too drab and obvious.
