Scarecrow

Scarecrow is one hell of a stupid movie. The premise is an OK one for a slasher flick -- a typical tale of an underdog, someone different from the rest of the pack, who's picked on and ridiculed by his peers -- until he's had enough. In this case, it's a a high school kid, who lives with his mother in a trailer trash existence. His mom hops from one guy to another, and one day, one of them is pissed off, and chokes the little scarecrow to death -- in a corn field -- under a scarecrow. Magic happens and the high schooler's soul is transferred to the Scarecrow, who then goes about seeking revenge with sickles and corn with a decapitating effect.

The premise was OK -- but the execution sucked. The acting was brutal. The dialogue was brutal -- even when the movie was making fun of itself. The whole inbred, southern trailer trash effect was never exploited -- although the movie does exploit. I highly recommend this movie is you plan on getting stoned watching it -- you'll relate to the heavy use of recreational drugs in the movie.
