At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I am very open when it comes to movies, especially horror movies. There was a time I would watch anything, thinking it _might_ be good. The ratings might be wrong. But this movie right here is absolutely not worth watching.It is incredibly bad. It is not entertaining at all. Shoestring budget? More like, pebble caught in the sole of your shoe-budget. I don't mind low budgets, as long as the result is good. Here the result is not good.There is nothing about this movie making it worth watching. There are some effects, and they might be the worst I have ever seen. They are so, very very bad. And no, I don't think the movie is made to be bad, it's just made to hopefully earn a couple bucks off people willing to give it a chance. Which you shouldn't.It is so bad, so boring. Never watch it. It has no good qualities.

this movie isn't that bad but it isn't that good either. the acting wasn't great. neither was the camera work. if your afraid of scarecrows this movie will maybe scare you if you are easily scared but if you love cheap cheesy horrors you will love this. the actors and actresses aren't well known but some of them should be because the acting from 1 or 2 people was fantastic. and the blood and guts they used in this movie looked really fake i didn't watch the whole movie about half way through i turned it off because this one girls voice was annoying me so much. but like i said earlier if you hate scarecrows and are easily scared watch it. also if you have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon watch it if you are really bored . :)

Let me just start of by saying that the original Scarecrow may indeed be considered a gem in harsh comparison to this movie. How they managed to get a hold of a semi-well known actor like Tony Todd is beyond me. Basically, this movie manages to lose any magic that the first one had. And believe me, some how making a movie WORSE than the first one is a feat. A great and marvelous feat. For those who have watched the first movie, remember lovable Lester Dwervick? OK well he's dead, but for some reason the same exact scarecrow is in this movie. With the death of Lester also went all those crazy one-liners and kung fu flips. That was the only redeeming factor of the first movie. Now, we come to Slayer which is just a half-assed attempt at trying to blah blah...rocket launcher to the face. God this movie sucks.

I can honestly say I liked the first 5 minutes or so. After the first three deaths it turned to crap. It was so crappy I was laughing hysterically. The final battle...oh man....that was just funny! This is in no way a good film. The WORST $5 bin buy ever (keep in mind I got BOTH films on the disk). Sorry, but it was bad. At least it had some decent drama, which the first lacked. The scarecrow was a bit more sadistic, but still not enough. If you watch it, do it with friends and intend to make fun of it. It looks like the special effects crew consisted of a 15 year old with a Mac computer who just had to test out its video capabilities. I'm literally grinning just thinking back on the "cut-in-half" and and "holding the scarecrow" parts. WWWOOOOAAAAHHHHHAAAAAHAHAAAAHHHAHAAAA, next time get more than one good cast member and a avoid digital effects!
