The ultimate zero star effort. Just Awful
Wow would be the first word to come to mind after watching this
disaster of a movie. I have seen so many b grade films over the years and have really enjoyed them. I'm a huge supporter to the b genre and love to see young directors trying to make it in the film industry, but this one's just too much. There is not one thing positive to say about Rise of the Scarecrows no matter how hard you rack your brain. Prior to this I considered Full Moon to put out the worst movies ever but have been proved very wrong. At least Full Moon films have some entertaining qualities which could earn a few stars. This one deserves nothing above a zero. The story follows a few of the world's worst actors as they try to uncover the mystery behind a small towns zombie scarecrows. Somehow these scarecrows arise to take the lives of the remaining townspeople, but you'd never know it because they show nothing. The best you'll get is a view from the scarecrows eyes as he hunts someone down while they let out an amazingly fake scream. It's just awful. All you get is a group of terrible actors, a script that must have been written by a chimp, and home video camera quality. At all costs please avoid this film unless you are looking to waste time and money.. somehow (against all odds) even worse than his first film
Officer Tony Brown chooses to relocate to the small town of Adams in
Massachusetts after he gets fed up with all the crime of big city life. But he soon comes to realize that both the local sheriff as well as the townspeople are part of a plan to lead unsuspecting out-of-towners, such as hitchhikers and people with car troubles, into the woods to get slaughtered by scarecrows. This movie has a lot going against it, atrocious acting, slow pacing,characters that are extremely unlikable (for no good reason whatsoever), it's relatively bloodless, and the parts that try (too hard) to add humor are just cringe-worthy. I usually support independent cinema so I gave Geno McGahee a second chance to impress me after the cinematic sludge that was "Evil Awakening", but as mind-numbingly awful as that film was, this second attempt is actually somehow worse. Eye Candy: Amanda Negro gets fully nude in a gratuitous shower scene, it's not nearly enough to make the film watchable though My Grade: D-. |
