For generations, it was an urban legend that lived in the nightmares of children. Now, the season to rejuvenate the tale will revive a town's darkest fears. With the Scarecrow Festival on the horizon, school teacher Aaron Harris is doling out punishment for six students serving detention. Their task: help Aaron's girlfriend Amanda fix her family farm before it's sold. But the cornfields circling the farm come with a legend and Tyler takes macabre delight in recounting the tale: It never sleeps, it never dies, it can't be stopped, hear their cries.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

'Scarecrow' has its flaws and its moments; it certainly beats some of the SyFy channel's other movies like "Dark Storm" and "Mongolian Death Worm" but it's cheesy and the characters are shallow. The plot follows a group of teens (who all look to be in their Twenties), who go to a day-long detention repairing a farmhouse right before the town's annual Scarecrow Festival. The main troublemakers seem to be Tyler and Nikki (Nikki is called a Goth but definitely doesn't look the part and is more of a sneaky brat than anything else). Anyway, as the plot goes on, an evil entity called The Scarecrow is disturbed and begins going on a killing rampage, taking any person or animal in the vicinity.The soundtrack wasn't bad, the acting wasn't the best but was better than the usual SyFy casts, and I've gotta say, the effects were pretty good! I was expecting really bad CGI and there was some, but a lot of the effects looked great in the movie. I wish there hadn't been so much sex jokes and that type of thing, crude humor has never appealed to me or made me interested in a horror movie, but it's easy to overlook since it seems to go away once Tyler and Nikki have "bought the farm".All in all, Scarecrow wasn't great, but it was much better than I was expecting. It's worth checking out for a fun Halloween movie with your friends or just to pass the time on a Saturday night. And if you don't like it, at least you can make fun of it.

Everything in this movie felt like it had been done before, with no effort to add anything original, but I guess that is how it is with low budget direct to TV horror movies. The farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, thinking they've killed the monster, and retreating to another house get help. This movie was not even remotely scary because everything was recycled. Another recycle was someone suggesting sacrificing a victim to the monster to try and get it to stop, but instead a bighearted person steps up to try and save the others. I don't see how this thing was a scarecrow. Almost no gore which was kind of a good thing because it would have made the movie even more cheesy. Mildly entertaining though, because you can almost predict everything that will happen, and want to see if you're right. 2/10 because of this

I was very skeptical when I first thought about watching this movie. I mean, lets face it. Most syfy channel original movies suck. Horrible acting, actors in their 30's portraying "teens", horrible story, limited gore, and horrible creature cgi effects. Look at "Sharknado" as a prime example. But this...this was actually pretty good. The "kids" are once again all obviously actors well past that stage in their life, and while there's one or two that couldn't act their way out of a paper bag, the majority of the cast is descent. Thete's actually a plot, and...surprise surprise, it actually makes sense. While the scarecrow is completely cgi, and obvious at that, its better than most creature effects in syfy channel movies, and one of the cooler looking ones at that. And you see it quite often after the first half. While there isn't much in terms of gore or blood, there is one surprisingly bloody scene in the beginning of the movie, and looks like it would hurt like hell. All in all, a surprisingly decent effort by a cable channel that is known to have horrible movies.

Got to say it first: I enjoyed this Scarecrow look! At first I was thinking that it is indeed original, by far, afterwards, maybe a little dumb, but after hearing the explanation in the plot, of how it got that way, yeah, hands down to this concept! I approve!So, Scarecrow 2013: a very nice and enjoyable movie, of course you must NOT expect too much, just some innocent fun, some almost scares, the most standard horror moves, "let's split off", "let's do that", "I can't believe it is real", and so on. But overall, better than those tryhard movies, that get lost in their own work. I approve to this one, for a cheesy cliché horror night!Really, not much to say about it, either you love it, or not. But if you do lower your expectations, and just sit, watch, eat popcorn and make fun, you might be in for exactly what you have hoped for. Fun fun fun!
