    Not as grim as I remember it being from when I was young, but still some potent scenes.

    Not bad but not great either

    So, this is the 8th movie I've seen that's about a scarecrow. This one is different because there are multiple scarecrows. It was made in 1988, when I was 4-5 and I'm sure I would've been petrified then, but now not so much. Still entertaining to watch, though.

    Sniper (Billy Zane) plus Night of the Living Dead with scarecrows. You do the math.

    The scarecrows are great, but the story is lacking.

    Sorry, some people enjoy bad horror but im not one of those people. Bad plot, bad acting, bad script, and whats more not one scare from start to finish.

    Gets half a star more than it deserves for actually creeping me out in the phone call scene. Otherwise, if the dog lives, can't hate a bad horror movie.

    Enjoyable little no-nonsense flick about a group of thieves who end up on an abandoned farm, where supernatural hijinx ensue.

    The scarecrows themselves are quite spooky looking, and the movie moves along at a pretty fast clip, giv...( read more)e it a look.

    Worth your rental.

    really enjoyed this..it starts out awesome: creepy scarecrows, a graveyard and a abandoned spooky house in the middle of nowhere..I have to say that the film continues on pretty good, just like 80s horror movies usually do :) it's a bit thrilling, just enough blood and stuff :) a...( read more)nd the end is pretty cool..the best part is the scarecrows, they're scary as hell and very cool in every way, almost like zombies..sweet! (btw I'm a big fan of scarecrows, don't know why, I just really like them ;)

    This film is a classic 80's horror flick. I mean, it;s no hellraiser or psycho, but, it does need to be considered at least.
