Scarecrow Gone Wild (2004 Video)
3/10
Dumb but fairly amusing nonsense
22 July 2013
This is seemingly the third instalment of the 'Scarecrow' franchise. It's about a supernatural scarecrow killer who is re-animated as the result of a practical joke that goes horribly wrong. A boy is tied to a scarecrow in a corn-field by some bullies. He goes into a coma through shock and via his comatose state the scarecrow is able to possess him and kill the teenagers who tormented him. It's a story that vaguely makes sense but in fairness what can you really expect from a film called Scarecrow Gone Wild?

It's very much a cheap and cheerful slasher movie aimed at the teen market. It doesn't take itself very seriously though, with some very silly scenes sprinkled throughout and some classic bad dialogue. Probably my favourite moment was when one teen decides to play one of his songs to the others on the beach one night. It's a suitably appalling ditty and it's ended by our friend the scarecrow pitching up and impaling him with the stand of a beach volleyball net. The film is pretty much a mix of horror, overwrought teen melodrama and dumb humour. While it's far from being good, it does have a certain goofy entertainment value for the most part.
