pitoekisu After reading all the reviews here I decided to buy the movie. I started it a bit hesitantly because I simply love the Jeepers Creepers' movies and I was afraid to be disappointed... But from the beginning all signals were ok : good actors, good building of the atmosphere, so I sat down relieved and happy for what was going to follow... And it stayed like that during the length of the movie! I watched it 3 times in a row and I still was excited of my 'found'... It is definitely one to keep in my collection! I am sorry to say that most of the horror movies that I buy end up being sold second hand after watching them once, but this one is definitely a keeper! The story cannot be compared to other scarecrow movies, it stands entirely on its own. So may you enjoy this one as much as I do...

metalrage666 I had never read anything about this movie and bought it cheaply thinking that at best I might get a laugh out of it, but this movie came as a pleasant surprise.The movie starts off typically, college students in a car, car runs off the road, no mobile phone reception, let's see if the rustic farmhouse has a phone and the ending writes itself, ho-hum it's been done to death right? But if you get through the first few minutes you'll notice that there are subtle differences with Husk.For starters, the group aren't the vapid, early twenty somethings that you normally get. The dialogue is remotely intelligent for a horror movie and the characters seem to have brains. Secondly there's only one girl in the group of five, so there's no catty backstabbing or obsession over appearance & shoes, and worthy of note, she gets dispatched early on, so there's no irrational screaming at every noise or shadow throughout the movie. Thirdly there are some genuinely tense moments that you no longer get with Scarecrow franchises. The claustrophobic feeling of the cornfield is well done, as is the idea that the recently killed are possessed & made to sew together their own scarecrow mask on a pedal powered sewing machine. Skewering their fingers with nails for an effective disabling weapon is a nice touch. Also this movie has a better explanation,(via flashbacks), on why things are happening. The movie doesn't really break any new ground and it's not without its clichés, but it's fresh enough to hold your interest throughout the movie. I gave this 6 because I enjoyed it up until the final scene. The ending just plain sucked, as it's not even an ending. It's as if the writers had a sudden craving for Chinese take-away & RedBull and took off before it was finished. Up until that moment it's a decent movie and one that is worth a look. Just pray they don't ruin it further with a haphazard sequel.

drnrg35 I always review my movies after the first time watch, because that's when they make the first honest impression on me. Usually after that they get better as I pick up on more plot lines and clues. I give this movie an eight, because it's original. Aside form the 1990's "Scarecrows" ;which . by the way ,I thought was excellent; there hasn't been a whole lot of good SCare Crow themed movies. Scare Crow 1 and 2 are totally done for fun. Tony Todd and Tiffany Shepis Star, but the Scarecrow flips and talks like Freddy Krueger, so I can't take them too seriously. This movie , however , again puts my faith in the comeback of the old school horror formula.First off; let me explain, that were I live this film was promoted as being Jeepers Creepers 3. It has the title "El Demonio 3" which is what jeepers Creepers titles are given over here. Even on the menu page; the title "Demonio 3" appears, so I thought, what have I got to lose. Upon seeing the scarecrow on the cover I was septic as to it actually being a continuation of the "Jeepers Creepers" series, but it still looked interesting and I knew it had to be better than "Scare Crow" The setting of the movie; which is a farm house, actually had me thinking that this could indeed be Jeepers Creepers 3. In fact; I was compelled to believe this until the first flash backs start. Not willing to give off too many spoilers, but there is even a scene were the scare crow sniffs one of the victims and lets him live.What I like about the movie is that it's quite original. Don't let those reviewers with grudges Against the directors and filmmakers steer you away with words like clichés and bad acting. Not true. In fact, early on, one of the most played out Rules of the horror genre concerning female actors is broken, so this one is full of surprises.You do get cool deja vous feeling of movies from directors like Tobe Hooper and Wes Craven, and that all just lets you know you are in familiar territory and not with a bunch of amateurs who do not know about making horror films.As for the movie itself ;funny enough, starts off with the same car wreck scene as the movie I just yesterday. "Wrong Turn 5" That there blew my mind just a bit, but thinking about it; it's always the best way to get your would be victims to get out and look for help and that's were the fun begins. Actually one of there friends is already missing by the time the other wake up from the car wreck. That there already becomes a mystery to the rest of them as well as the viewer. What follows next is pure unpredictability. The viewer thinks this will happen but instead happens another way.I'd like to write more about the film, but I don't wanna spoil the fun. I will say that it's not Jeepers Creepers 3. It's not a slasher film either. Nor a ghost story. It's a little bit of all three and very enjoyable. the actors all play different roles with really different personalities and agenda for their actions. That last line I just wrote has a lot more to do with the movie than just their acting abilities and what makes up the interesting and original plot line.My one small beef is that the gore factor is pretty low, but I really didn't even notice this until the end of the film, so it really shines in other factors. particulalry the story; which I really enjoyed and honestly can say; have not seen it in any Horror movie yet... and I have many in my collection.My recommendation is; if you haven't already seen it, to view it this Halloween. Nothing like a good Scare Crow movie to get you in the mood for the ghouls and ghosts who will be visiting you all night.

Coventry Okay, so "Husk" may not necessarily be the most intelligent or innovative horror flick in history, but I do shamelessly admit that I found it vastly entertaining! Why is that? For simple reasons, actually. First and foremost because it's a straightforward and incredibly fast-paced little film that doesn't waste any time on overlong introductions. I think it takes approximately, what, two or three minutes before the action and horror aspects kick in and the film remains eventful until the very last moments. I, for one, really appreciated that writer/director Brett Simmons didn't waste our time (and his own) on redundant character drawings, because they're mainly all just insufferable twenty-something idiots that are about to die in gruesome circumstances anyway. Secondly because, when the subject matter is handled right, scarecrows can be the scariest monsters in the horror genre. Admittedly it must be rather difficult for a scriptwriter to link a decent and plausible story to lifeless puppets made out of straw and discarded clothes, but the image of a scarecrow in the middle of a desolate field at night is so genuinely creepy! The background story that Brett Simmons gave to his scarecrows isn't exactly brilliant, but it's a neat attempt and you got to admit that they look mighty frightening. On their way to a secluded party, four high-school buddies and one supplementary girlfriend crash their car because – inexplicably – a whole swarm of kamikaze crows hammer themselves into the windshield. Across the cornfield, full of eerie scarecrows, they notice a ramshackle farmhouse and the two most courageous ones of the bunch head over there for help, as Johnny mysteriously vanished after the accident. The scarecrows come to life and there's seemingly no way to escape the cornfield. During their quest for survival, Scott gradually uncovers the horrible secret of the living scarecrows through unexplained supernatural visions. Yes indeed, the plot is full of holes, improbabilities and questions that remain unanswered. Quite frankly, this is one of those rare occasions where it didn't bother me too much, as "Husk" provides plentiful of creepy imagery, gore, atmosphere and adrenalin. Simmons makes the most out of a clearly shoestring budget and, most astounding of all, the cast of youngsters is actually very adequate. Director Simmons generates occasional moments of sheer suspense, while the players truly manage to appear terrified and desperate. And, perhaps just because the film didn't waste any initial time on fake and overlong introductions, the characters gradually even become amiable and identifiable. I think I can say for myself that I know horror… "Husk" is horror. And warmly recommended to all fans of the genre.
