Scare-No.......2006-04-27

There are B-grade horror movie fans who love mindless flicks about some kind of supernatural killer who wont stay dead. However, there is B-grade in the plus(+), and B-grade in the Minus(-) category. And all 3 of these Scarecrow movies are in the B Minus, Minus (B--) grading.

Part 1: Trying to kick off as a TEEN tale of a couple of kids sitting around the bong-fire telling ghost stories. One kid tells the tale of Lester Dwervick who is a high school student who is not well liked; just about all the kids pick on him except for one girl. He's a loner-geek type who's mommas a white-trash ho who brings home a drunken red-neck boyfriend one night who ends up killing Lester out in a corn field underneath a Scarecrow. The town is apparently "EVIL" and Lester finds his soul has been transformed into the Scarecrow and he can for fill his fantasies about getting revenge on all the people who hurt him. He ends up a cool looking Scarecrow killer, however, the flipping around like a ninja is a bit stupid, but not as stupid as the stupid comments he makes after every kill he does. It might be funny when Arnie does things like that ONCE a movie, but this one was over the top after a while and goes from humorous to just stupidly annoying. The end of the movie really is stupid, and the acting of walking away acting so cool about it is just ######.

1 and a half stars. Seen worse: ya might get a laugh out of how corny it is, but don't expect much more out of it.

Part 2: Scarecrow Slayer; fans of the CANDYMAN will be appalled by Ton Todd's performance as a nut ball who's parents we're killed 25 years ago by the Scarecrow. He wrote numbers of laughed at books about it and is in an interview that gets cut short 'cause he hears noises outside. He ends up accidentally killing a kid who was sent by his frat party to steal the Scarecrow as part of the initiation. He ends up putting that kids soul into the Scarecrow and he ends up mindlessly killing people. The plot continues on as his girlfriend escapes hospital after the Scarecrow kills off the guy who killed him, then they run around trying to escape, and having to go back and forth, blah blah blah, marine-trainees, blah blah blah, scarecrow vs scarecrow, blah blah blah..... ba zzzzzzzzzzzz.

2-stars: bad CGI effects, useless scenes, plots carrying on like it MEANS something to someone, over drawn, over acted. "Slayer" Huh? That would require someone hunting the scarecrow wouldn't it?

Part 3: Scarecrow gone wild; ya'd probably thing it meant the Scarecrows gone on vacation to the Mardi-gra or something, but nope; Again, as a fraternity pledge prank, they leave the diabetic kid in the field tied to a scarecrow. They don't know he's diabetic and acting like he wants to hit them cause of it, his soul ends up in the Scarecrow, but he's not dead. His best friend seeks out to help him. It does have a bit of an unsuspected ending, but doesn't mean it's any good. It rips off JASON: Goes to hell (Friday the 13th 9). Fans of ex-WWF wrestler Ken Shamrock might enjoy seeing him in this film as the coach... but he aint going to be making an acting name for himself anytime soon. (BTW: This is also one of those mindless movies where if they can throw in a woman wearing no top for no reason, they do it: So you kids under 14 who giggle and feel funny at the bra section of catologs will love it, but everyone else will roll there eyes)

OVERALL: Don't pay to see any of them unless you wanna watch it to purposely see how bad they are and have a laugh AT it. The scarecrow looks really cool in the first 2, however the 3rd looks like a bad rubber mask. But the whole thing they put him into is just stupid, first he talks, then he doesn't, then he's a demon and a person in one, then its a demon who copies there personalities...EUHH, make up your minds. These look more like student films then anything else. It's kinda hard to get into a horror movie when it looks like the midday movie, made for TV. Expect a 4th sequel sometime soon, if there not worth making, there guaranteed to go on. But I wont have any interest in watching it; if I'd not grabbed all 3 at the same time, I wouldn't have bothered to see the rest after part 1.

It Has Danny Elfman's Brother in it and some great quotes!.......2006-04-22

These movies are kinda lame but when you're watching a couple movies called SCARECROW and SCARECROW SLAYER what do you expect...

but the first one was my favorite.. it had Danny Elfman's brother (who I forget his name) playing two different parts.. a cop and a redneck.. and has some amazing quotes.. that I've actually sampled and used in some music of mine!

The second one has TONY TODD and I'm ashamed for him... cause he was in one of the worst special effects death scenes in history.. I'd rather it been NO BUDGET FAKED HOME VIDEO DEATH than what they did with his death.. damn..

but yeah SCARECROW is worth the money.. and I have yet to see part three but I'm sure it's just as bad!

Two times as good.......2005-10-04

Scarecrow and Scarecrow Slayer are both incredible movies for anyone who would be reading the review for a movie called scarecrow slayer. Not only are they both a gem they are both on the same disc, what else could you ask for??... maybe battling possesed scarecrow fighting in a lighting storm for the love of a moderately attractive farm girl.

The only thing better then Scarecrow 1 and 2 is scarecrow 3! Scarecrow Gone Wild, staring Ken Shamrock. If you see one of em you gotta see em all.
A++

this is the one to buy.......2005-05-28

this has the 1st one and the best one on the same disc. the second one was good first one was bad if ya see scare crow gone wild i heard its a breastathon buy this one and rent 3

5 stars, this is comedy gold!.......2007-05-03

Having seen most of this flick I'm shocked that this is the 2nd in a series of about 3 films. I must get the others! But anyways the introduction to this movie is indication alone of its awesomeness. When you see the scarecrows hand moving across the floor in fast-motion you know you're in for a treat. And when you see the AMAZING effects done on the scene where the farmer gets thrown into a pitchfork (with his legs invisible for some great reason) you have already gotten what you paid for). Ok being serious now, it's f'ing sad to see Tony Todd in this film, he's an incredible actor and Hollywood needs to put better use of his talent instead of letting it go to waste. This film is like a prolonged episode of Are You Afraid Of The Dark, but even that had better effects. Nothing anyone can possibly say bad about this movie can be greater than the effect the movie itself has on the viewer. Watch it for the sake of comedy at least.

A real Stinkaroo!.......2007-04-18

I have seen bad movies in my time but this one just may rank at the top of the list. If you want to see the worst special effects ever done in a movie you have to watch this turkey. I would really be embarassed for life if I was seen in this travesty by people who know me. Horrible acting and the plot is from somewhere out of this world. Also there is not one single scene in this dud that could scare you even if it came to life and jumped out of your tv screen. I certainly wouldn't invite anybody over to watch this unless they needed some sleep which they would be doing in a short while while viewing it.

This Scarecrow Rocks.............2006-02-26

After reading other reviews about this movie, I guess I'm the oddball here but I enjoyed this movie. I'm a huge gore fan so maybe that is part of the reason I enjoyed this movie. I think Tony Todd ( Candyman ) gave a somewhat good performance as Farmer Caleb. In the beginning of the movie, we see Caleb as a young boy riding on a tractor with his father. Caleb then witnesses his father being killed by the scarecrow ( cool scene ). The film then takes us to some kids who decide to steal the scarecrow. When Caleb happens upon this, he shoots Dave who's soul goes into the scarecrow bringing the scarecrow back to life. The scarecrow has 2 things on his mind now, revenge and murder. However, still being part Dave now, the scarecrow is unable to kill his girlfriend Mary but kills everyone else who gets in his way. I really liked the hospital scene when the scarecrow murders Farmer Caleb ( cool, gory scene ). When Dave's ( now the scarecrow ) friend rushes to save Mary, whom the scarecrow has taken to the cornfield with the hopes of turning her into a scarecrow, he is killed and then resurrected as a scarecrow. From then on, we see a battle of the scarecrows. Mary must do whatever it takes to stop what she is witnessing. I find the acting was not bad and the killing scenes and gore were good in this film. I've seen other scarecrow killer movies and I must admit that this is the coolest looking scarecrow of them all. I bought this movie without renting it first but do not regret it. I think it's a movie at least worth renting.

Oh My God!!!.......2005-08-11

I can not explain how bad this movie is!I bought both of the scarecrow movies together for $5.50.I read the back and they sounded awseume.I made a huge mistake!This movie has horrible effects and horrible acting.I watched the first movie first and hated it.Then I watched this one and it made the first one look like a masterpiece.Thats how bad it is.I am beating my self up for waisting my money on this piece of crap!!It is so horrible and boring!Dont make the mistake I did.Dont even waist your money on renting this crap!Its awful!!

Not a sequel, but still good.......2005-05-03

This film is the second in the Scarecrow series by York Entertainment, but it is in no way a sequel to the first Scarecrow movie. In fact, the only thing that remains the same is the Scarecrow costume.

This time, the Scarecrow is in the field of Farmer Caleb, a tormented man that believes the Scarecrow killed his father 35 years before. When a couple of college kids come to steal the creature as initiation to get into a fraternity, Caleb shoots and kills one, Dave, who's spirit then enters the new Scarecrow. Bloody vengeance and murder ensues for the rest of the film.

The Scarecrow itself is very different in this film than in the pervious movie. It doesn't talk or say those witty comments, as the first one did. There's also less use of martial arts over all.

The ending is especially entertaining. Over all, a decent film to include in your horror movie fest if you're not looking for something horribly serious.
