Okay, that's like the worst movie I've ever watched. And trust me, I am a HUGE fan of trash/low budget movies, but this one was just boring, made no sense at all and I wish I'd get my wasted time back. I'll keep the DVD though cause the cover looks cool....

The concerpt is a bit like Jeepers Creepers only not even 1% as good. It's rather moronic actually. Very poorly written and directed

This film supposedly revolves around a Welsh legend concerning a scarecrow which terrorizes a certain part of the country for a limited period of time before abruptly disappearing--only to return a few years later and repeating the process. To that effect, as the legend supposedly goes, a young man was falsely accused of theft in the spring of 1910 and then brutally punished for it by being hung on a cross and left to die approximately 48 hours afterward. During this time crows mercilessly picked at his eyes while his fiancé was being burned alive in a nearby barn. For this reason, the spirit of the man returns every now and then filled with both a desire for vengeance and a yearning to be reunited with his long lost bride-to-be. That being said, after a brief detour the scene then shifts to the present day where a young female radio host by the name of "May Sealey" (Claire-Maria Fox) has just been told that she has inherited a farm in a remote part of the country and-being naturally curious-she decides to drive there with some of her friends to check it out. What she doesn't realize is that she bears a striking resemblance to the scarecrow's fiancé and that he has chosen that very night for his return. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a rather unremarkable horror film based in large part on its low-budget nature and the lack of any real suspense or quality special effects. To that extent, the story basically plodded along with none of the actors really standing out in any appreciable manner. Again, everything was all rather dull and for that reason I have rated it accordingly.

Pretty crappy but fun at times but no honeymoon for sure ! Invites are in will you survive the ceremony ?

After being fired from her radio show, a woman and her friends learn she has inherited a strange farmhouse out in the countryside, and when they travel to the location find that she's in line to stop a devastating family curse from unleashing a murderous scarecrow from killing her friends. For the most part, this here was a decent enough if underwhelming effort. When this one works, its mainly due to the rather intriguing setup that gives a great detail for the scarecrow haunting the land. Given a great backstory involving a person mistakenly killed and cursed to roam the land as a scarecrow following the incident and looking to reclaim the lost bride he never got which is the reincarnation of the new girl, this gives off a solid and far more enjoyable setup than expected. Featuring the extra bit about the family being aware of this and taking on the role of protectors manages to provide some really enjoyable setups here that come to pass in the second half where the curse is given life to the scarecrow and results in some fine suspenseful moments throughout the farmhouse. However, these here are all that work for there are several big flaws to be had with this one. The main flaw here is the film's utterly laughable and hilarious slasher setups that just make the film a pain to sit through. There's almost nothing here in this regard that works, as the scarecrow is laughably bad and so silly that it's nearly impossible to be scared of this thing with his burlap sack stitched in a crude, haphazard manner that looks really lousy. On top of that, the other scenes here are incredibly underwhelming and slipshod which makes this one feel really slapdash with scenes featuring the scarecrow suddenly appearing behind someone and then sloppily throwing them around or attacking them when it's been underwhelmed because of some unbelievable circumstance that allows the scarecrow to attack from that spot. With little to no gore at all from any of these, the deaths are some of the most disappointing elements here. The other factor with this one is the agonizing slow-burn pace that drains the energy from this one completely. That the opening flashback to the first victims learning of their family legacy and then getting wiped out takes way too long and could've been trimmed down since it doesn't need fifteen minutes to tell this tale, and the exploits of her job feel like padding to justify her moving to the farm. As well, the start/stop nature of the investigation into what happened to the previous owners causes even more time to get dragged out by stalking all the information needed, which all pushes the rampage so later into the film that the few signs of life that are generated from this come off as too little, too late with the film in need of some trimming due to the excessive and dragging scenes. These here are the film's main issues. Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

Very forgettable film. Unconvincing story. Lack of actual horror. Blood effects were poor as hell. Dumb storyline that doesn't even take itself seriously. And the ending... well it ended... 1/10 Bad & misleading

I love indi-horror. I always try to find something to appreciate in these kinda low-budget flicks. This movie, however, fails of every level. I have never regretted watching a movie so much before. Do not waist your time.
