release year: 1988
genre: cheesy horror
viewing setting: home VHS, 2/8/99
what I expected: something scary, from what I'd heard
what I got: low-budget horror
synopsis: Bank robbers land their plane in the wrong deserted field.
impressions: The idea was a novel one, and the scarecrows were spooky to watch at times. However, the mood was ruined by bad acting and weird doings on the part of the scarecrows. I mean, what in the hell were they up to? (You'll know what I'm talking about if you watch the movie.)
body count: 6 confirmed kills
acting: Some of the small cast did okay, while others turned in corny performances. Maybe it was the script's fault.
notable quote: "I think this house is haunted by demonic demons."
the good: few spooky moments
the bad: most of the acting and script
final word: Worth seeing, but it's no classic of the genre.
rating: C-
