What our customer's say!

"A Nifty Horror Film Which is *FINALLY* Widely Available on DVD", I was thrilled to discover that MGM had released this film on DVD. For years, it was only available on VHS and almost impossible to find. Apparently only very few VHS original tapes were made and if you were lucky enough to find it on VHS at all, it was on either a poorly made "bootleg" copy or a very beat-up ex-rental. Now it appears to be widely available on DVD and that is a benefit to all who enjoy a very good (although underrated) horror film.

This is a little known "sleeper" and although it is a low budget film, the atmospherics are terrific and the action...filmed entirely at night...is gripping. The plot is detailed elsewhere so I won't get into that, other than to say that this is one great and spooky film (and loads of fun if you enjoy the genre).


"fright night", it"s a good scary movie, if you like medium horror. Not recommended for children under 13 or those easily upset.

"I forgot how utterly screwed up this movie was......and THATS A GOOD THING!", I had copied this years and years ago on VHS so I basically put it on my shelf and let it collect dust and was pleasantly surprised when I found it had been released on DVD.

I was even more surprised when I put it in my machine and sat down and watched this sucker and realized how utterly twisted and sick and gory it is.......and these are THE GOOD POINTS, there are hardly any bad points to this movie, straight up, it is an 80's horror flick that deserved it's DVD status.

It is rather slow going in the beginning but once it gets rolling, it never stops till the end.

"Don't bother with this one", The only good thing about this movie was the cover art. Otherwise it was a terrible movie. Bad acting, weak plot, very predictable and not even scary. I ended up turning it off half way through. Yes, it's that bad. I'd say don't waste your time or money on this terrible movie.

"This is lovely!", A real, good, absorbing, creepy horror movie. Just the way I like them!
No silly attempts at injecting humour into it, which ruins so many horror movies today, but loaded with menace and atmosphere, and so what if the story itself is a bit preposterous? (Spirits of three long dead people living on by inhabiting scarecrows) It works! And that is the main thing.
The main premise of the plot is a group of robbers hijack a small plane and force the pilot and his daughter and their dog, to fly them away, but one robber bales out with the money and the rest go after him, and that's where the real story begins. I like the way that it's not all explained away and resolved with a neat, but boring, ending. The ending is great and most satisfactory. A must-see for all those who like a more in-depth horror movie with no real clear cut distinction between goodies and baddies and not one favoured over the other by the spooky and unnatural forces at work.
When I first watched it years ago, it was on a very dark vhs tape recording, seeing it on dvd for the first time (I have the region one version) was a revelation.
Great to see some of these old much loved movies getting dvd releases now.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"0 STARS: Very disappointing given the high reviews.", "Scarecrows" is about some bank robbers who hijack a plane operated by a father and his daughter. One of the hijackers does something rather rash, and the plane is forced to land. The hijackers land in a very interesting area that is certainly more than the crooks bargained for. If this sounds interesting, I hope you like it, but I hated it for several reasons.

First of all, the acting in this movie is pathetic, and this causes the action of the movie to come off as rather generic and artificial. The story itself is unique, but the execution of the movie is absolutely awful. I really thought the supernatural element was portrayed very poorly in this movie, and I did not find the scarecrows or anything at all about this movie to be scary. Not sure why anyone would call this movie atmospheric because there was no atmosphere, certainly nothing that could overcome the wooden acting in this film, lifeless script and the boring dialogue.

The characters are not very likeable at all, partly because they are criminals, but even the criminals are not very convincing in their roles. Everything seemed monotonous to me, and the characters were lifeless in their execution of the script. There is some blood and gore in this movie if you like that kind of thing, but I was largely unimpressed with that aspect as well.

I was not sleepy when I turned the movie on as I was actually quite excited given the glowing reviews this movie has received. However, my excitement was short-lived and I spent the majority of the movie yawning and, quite frankly, I could not wait for the movie to be over. Simply put, this is one boring film. Just because "Scarecrows" is a little bit different does not mean it is any good, and it sure as hell does not mean it is scary or horrifying in any way, and that is certainly the case here. Unfortunately for me, I purchased this garbage. I would recommend you not do the same unless you like mindless low-budget type zombie movies with no spirit at all.

In short, "Scarecrows" is a very poor excuse for a horror movie. If you want to see a good movie about scarecrows that is on the creepy side, I would recommend "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" instead, and while it is by no means a classic, it is miles ahead of this trash. Then again, that's just my opinion, obviously, as it appears that I am in the minority on this one.




"A classic horror gem!", If you liked the original "Dawn of the Dead", John Carpenter's "The Thing", and other horror films of that era, then this movies is up your ally! Even though it was made in 1988, it gives you that isolation feel of being away from civilization, and the horror of not knowing what's out there. Great music by the way!

No extra features, not even a trailer, but that doesn't take the fun away. If you have this on VHS, get the upgrade to DVD.

"The Atmosphere Alone Could Make You Soil Your Pants", This film is very creepy as other have noted. While it may not be necessarily scary it is certainly one creepy little film. The factors of the film that I believe made it the most suspenseful and creepy were the dark moody atmosphere and the look of the scarecrows themselves. The premise of the film may sound a little cheesy, but I found the film to be much less comical than what others have noted. The atmosphere of this glorious film is something that other horror films could only wish for. The dark, brooding, and creepy atmosphere takes the film way past B movie status in my eyes. Most of the horror film today could take a lesson from this film. I find many horror flicks to not even be creepy(even though I love them), but I admit this film had me tensed a few times. The atmosphere is what did it to me. It makes you feel the dread that the characters must feel. The film is bathed in this feel. The pace of the film is quite a bit slower than most horror flicks. That is something that is rare, especially nowadays. The pace is perfect in my eyes. Thats what makes the film more suspenseful. The viewer really has no idea when these scarecrows may attack. Thats an annoying factor for me when I watch horror films is that I can almost always guess when the creature or antagonist may jump out. In Scarecrows I really didn't know.

The look of the film is worth killing over. William Wesley really put some effort in his film here. His name is mentioned at least half a dozen times in the credits. That tells me that he cared for the art he was creating. It's nice to see that. What keeps the film from feeling too comical is the INCREDIBLE look for the scarecrows. If this was made today the scarecrows would probably be in CGI. That ruins horror films. This is classic special effects and make-up. The scarecrows are really just damn scary looking. I absolutely loved the look they gave them. When you place them in with the brooding atmosphere it is quite awesome and powerful.

The directing, photography, and score are all pretty top notch for a horror film. The editing could have been a little tighter, but it doesn't really hurt the movie too much. Is there gore many people ask? If you're looking for Hostile or Saw type gore then no. But there are some seriously well done and pretty graphic scenes with a fair amount of gore. I love gore when its called for, some films do not need gore(Halloween and Dead Silence for example), this film hits the just right mark. Theres not too much where it goes over the top making it comical, but it certainly adds to the films creepiness. Theres a few shots where I was amazed they did as well as they did and I cringed a little.

All and all I highly recommend this little movie for those who like horror/suspense films. The films slower pace, dark atmosphere, truly scary looking scarecrows, and a back story that it seems many didn't grab makes this an awesome horror film. Loved it. Even better upon second viewing!

"Not too bad...not so great", It's certainly not horrible, but it sure is light on the gore. It's pretty much just a bunch of guys and a couple girls trompin around a cornfield, being attacked by 'living' scarecrows. There are a couple of good FX scenes, but not enough for as much time as we spend watching them walk the rows. The retrospective on this film, in the lastest Fangoria, is better than the movie.

"Scary, Creepy, Old-Fashioned 80's Horror At Its Best", "Scarecrows" is one of those movies that I've heard about for years, and heard rave reviews for. Ever since I first heard about it back in the early 1990's, I've wanted to see it for myself. Unfortunately, it was such a rare and forgotten 80's horror flick that it was nearly impossible to find--except for unbelievably crappy-quality bootleg VHS tapes.

Now, though, it has been finally been remastered and released uncut on DVD! Once I heard it was coming back out, I was excited to finally be able to see it. And how did it rate next to over a decade of hype and desperation? It was, in a word: excellent.

The story is simple: a group of paramilitary robbers who've hijacked a plane and held a pilot and his teenage daughter hostage are forced to land in an isolated, creepy farm when one of their members betrays them and bails with the money. The thieves/soldiers and their hostages soon find themselves stalked on the abandoned farm by a group of evil, murderous living scarecrows. As creepy paranormal events begin to plague them, they must try to find a way to escape the farm and the murderous clutches of the monstrous scarecrows.

With a cast of non-stars and a limited budget, director William Wesley was able to create a spooky, frightening little movie that was unjustly forgotten in the wake of other gruesome genre fare. Sadly, he didn't go on to do much else. I could definitely have seen him become a John Carpenter/Wes Craven-type horror filmmaker. Anyway, with this film, Wesley is able to conjure a bone-chilling atmosphere of darkness and gloom (due to the whole film taking place at night). The story is simple and straight-forward--borrowing elements from slasher films, zombie movies, and robbery/heist action flicks, and combining them into a creepy, old-fashioned horror movie. The cast of unknowns is a bit amateurish at times, but reliable enough to create likable characters and generate some sympathy. The make-up and gore effects are pretty gruesome and unnerving, and the evil scarecrows themselves rank among the creepiest movie monsters to appear out of the horror genre. Complimented by a chilling music score, "Scarecrows" definitely hits all the marks needed for a spooky, serious horror flick. It's also notable that there's a sense of mystery surrounding the supernatural events and the nature of the killer scarecrows, which is hinted at, but never fully explained. The grim, downbeat ending is also a plus.

The only really disappointing thing about "Scarecrows" is the complete lack of extras on the DVD. Other than that slight misstep, I can't really say much bad about "Scarecrows". While it's not groundbreaking like "Halloween", "The Exorcist", or "Night of the Living Dead", it is an eerie little gem of a film, and it's great to finally have it on DVD. With a supremely spooky atmosphere, scary monsters, gruesome murder effects, and a tight, suspenseful storyline, it's definitely a must-see/must-own for horror film fans. Highly recommended!
