So unfortunately me and my mate watched this!!! It was showing on a Sky channel over here called "Zone Horror" which basically shows crappy B-movie horror films 24/7. It was a boring Friday night, so decided to have a laugh and give this one a look. Apart from the atrocious acting, the awful plot, the dire effects, the shoddy camera work and the brain numbing ridiculousness of it all, it was OK, LOL!!! In all seriousness it was quite a laugh picking holes in it and laughing at the goofy actors. There is a bit of semi-nudity which perked the movie up a bit, unfortunately it was the "uggo" who got topless as my mate calls her :oD If you're bored one evening and this happens to be playing, take a chance, you just might like it :)

The things I have learned from this movie are remarkable, things I never would have guessed otherwise. I do warn you though, there are spoilers.1) Spring Break doesn't consist of many people on a beach, but instead a small group friends...2) Daylight is a tricky thing and can disappear to night, then dawn, then night again within a period of five minutes.3) Scarecrows can whistle.4) Scarecrows can whistle under water.5) Scarecrows can drive trucks.6) Boom mikes are not obviously visible while shooting or editing, but very visible when watching the movie.7) Mirrors don't show your outer appearance, but instead what you are on the inside.8) Scarecrows are weak against defibrillators.9) Scarecrows lose track of people very easily on an open beach.10) A wrestler is no match for the mighty power of a scarecrow.11) Being lightly slapped can knock you unconscious.12) Drunk people like terrible guitar solos.13) When a spear-like object stabs through someone, it sticks through them at a completely different angle.14) If you are being dragged along a beach, screaming for help, no one will help you, despite there being two people on the same side of the beach as you.(Check the background beach around when the girl finds her dead boyfriend, where could those two people go to in a matter of minutes?) 15) When you spill your innards, they rest neatly on top of your skin.16) Finally, people don't show any signs of worry when their friends disappear for many hours without explanation.This movie is very informative, I hope you have learned something from it. So Yeah.

Wow! Here comes another straight-to-video scarecrow movie to keep the cinematic masochists happy. If the cheap-looking opening credits don't tell you you're in for quite a ride, then the diabolically tragic "writing" sure will.A diabetic kid gets tied on to a legendary scarecrow as part of his initiation onto the baseball team. Then the scarecrow goes nuts and starts offing people. Need I say more? This movie consists greatly of cheap effects that makes it look like it was edited with iMovie (note that spooky color inversion) and actors who apparently weren't good enough to show up on some late-night Cinemax special. Actually, thats not fair, as the actors didn't have much room to work around the abysmal script. Parts of this movie really seem like parody, especially when one character picks up his guitar and starts playing the worst song ever conceived by humans, with the worst lip-synching ever performed to go along with it. The "gore" here is also a major disappointment. In most B-movies such as this, there is a thick layer of cheap gore FX to make up for what the story and acting lacks. Here, the stuff is so cheap that it's not even fun. This movie actually makes "Jack Frost 2" look like lots of fun in comparison.If you think this movie is the "worst one you've ever seen" then you probably haven't gotten deep into the world of straight-to-video B-horror. Regardless, this movie will cause you a great deal of mental anguish, no matter what your background.

I knew I was in for a LONG 90 minutes when the opening voice over mispronounced the word 'scarecrow' (it sounded like Scare Crew). And sure enough 90 minutes later, after witnessing beyond horrid acting, tedious drama, scarecrow's punches going nowhere near their intended target, but "hitting" it anyway, Ken Shamrock "acting", and the most stupid illogical ending, I've seen in my life (Ok, no, I take that last one back, in about a week). After making it through all that, I openly weeped that I couldn't just go to Lacuna a la Jim Carrey and just erase it completely from my mind. Any thoughts I might have had that Director Brian Katkin might have made an OK film given the right circumstances that I had after watching "Slaughter Studios", are totally and completely gone from my mind now.My Grade: F Eye Candy: Tara Platt and Lisa Robert get topless Where I saw it: Starz on Demand (available until September 22nd, 2005)
