5/10
Awful? Absolutely. Campy fun? Absolutely.

What's with all the negative reviews of this film? This is a movie that is so unabashedly terrible that I can't help but like it. I rarely speak of such hallowed territory, but this movie reaches the "so bad that it's good" plateau. With lines like Character A: Be careful? Character B: It's okay I know this place like the back of my hand Character A: No I mean there's a homicidal scarecrow out there! What's not to like? The ridiculous plot? The wooden acting by Ken Shamrock? The ending which completely rips off the Exorcist? The insipid dialogue which was clearly written by a guy who has no idea how women talk? The token black guy who says token black guyisms? The fact that you can see the scarecrow's mask flapping up often?

Never have I enjoyed a movie which is so bad so much. Look in era of bloated films which run far longer than they should, why can't we appreciate a silly little horror film with gratuitous nudity and cornfields 5 minutes away from an ocean beach? **1/2 / 4
