The first half hour was a big ol turd of a movie


Supposedly it gets better... Alot better

Or so the reviewer on blu-ray.com says

I was just not gonna bother with watching the rest, but I will now (not now now but now as in when I can be arzed)

I will let you know if it does indeed get better or if the turdness remains

For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.

The last 43 minutes were an equal pile of turd with no redeeming qualities for the people interested in the follow-up I've seen it today

I had high hopes, so maybe that was a bad idea, but I actually had to turn it off after the first 40 minutes, because I couldn't believe how boring it was. I mean, for a horror film about killer scarecrows, it sure was filled with a lot of never ending sequences that led to nothing. Everything was too dark all the time, and the first half and hour mostly features these guys walking around the fields, using their walkie talkies!

I'm going to give it another chance because horror fans seem to appreciate this film, but it bored me to death.

I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation - Maleficent

Yeah I agree, and the annoying (not so) super macho guys in the lead didn't help either

It's called building suspense and an atmosphere. Maybe you guys are just used to films where there's an gratuitous action scene every 5 minutes and that's fine, but I thought this film was effectively creepy.

The only thing scary about this movie was the acting & the lack of plot

 and the fact that some people like it lol

A wrong decision is better than indecision

The entire movie is poor. Two or three gory kills is all it has to offer really.
