Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

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 . :)

I enjoyed it. It was choppy, didn't make much sense and was in no way scary. But it was definitely entertaining. Not nearly as good as the first Scarecrow movie.(which is excellent by the way,because of Tiffany Shepis and Richard Elfman) This one is almost equal to Scarecrow Gone Wild. Though Scarecrow Gone Wild makes more sense, except for the cornfield on the beach issue. Scarecrow slayer has some good characters in it. Some very attractive women and funny guys. I think it could have been a lot better, maybe with a different director. They should have kept the same one from the first film.(Itier) All in all it's a trashy movie, but enjoyable none the less.

listen this movie is no million dollar movie and it clearly shows but the thing is for me i don't need a million dollar budget to get me interested if they had a better budget it would be better but they didn't i like it cause its a classic no one watches old black and white Dracula films for the effects so why judge this movie by its budget if you pick it up you will have a fun time cause the movie is kinda fun to watch and it will let you remember how movie use to be made and i enjoy how the scarecrow was like a ninja its funny its classic everything i want in a movie if you pick this up with a bad feeling about it don't waste your time its a cheap classic thats all.

Scarecrow Slayer is the sequel to Emmanuel Itier's cult horror movie "Scarecrow". This time around Itier has given the reigns to a new director and the result is not too bad at all. Forget the low IMDb rating, if you liked the first film or low budget horror movies in general, then Scarecrow Slayer is worth hiring.Fans of the original film may be somewhat disappointed that this is a sequel in name only. Scarecrow Slayer does not follow the events of the first movie, so there is a new scarecrow victim and most upsettingly, no return appearance from scream queen, Tiffany Shepis. In fact, the only real link to the original is Todd Rex, who reprises his role as the scarecrow. Despite the new cast and storyline, this is not an awful sequel. Scarecrow Slayer definitely lacks the tastelessness and grim humour that made Itier's film a video favourite but it is 90 minutes of stupid, gory fun.This time around a college student, Dave, is accidentally shot while trying to steal the scarecrow during a hazing dare. This results in Dave's soul entering the scarecrow with the intention of avenging his death and being reunited with his girlfriend, Mary. Dave even builds Mary a female scarecrow, so they can be possessed together after he kills her. Who says romance is dead. The plot of the movie basically involves the scarecrow chasing Mary around town, killing anyone who comes between them. The murders begin rather tamely but as the film progresses the gore factor increases significantly. I particularly liked the head squashing, which was very reminiscent of early Troma. The special effects are the work of Anthony C. Ferrante, who recently directed the atrocious ghost movie "Boo". Thankfully, his special effects are far better than his directing skills.In addition to some decent low budget gore, the film also boasts a cameo appearance from Tony Todd - the "Candyman" himself! Tony gives a great performance as Caleb, the scarecrow's keeper. The other standout performance is given by Jessica Mattson, who plays the requisite big breasted bimbo with style. I'm surprised that her career has stalled, she definitely has the assets to be a scream queen. The rest of the cast is pretty ordinary but good enough for this kind of material.Scarecrow Slayer is definitely only for fans of low budget gore. This is not high art, but you should know that from the DVD cover. I can't believe that people hire a movie about a killer bundle of hay and have the nerve to go online and write reviews lamenting the poor production values as if it were some kind of surprise.
