The only bit of the film I didn't enjoy was the ending it left a cliff-hanger, so the question is did the police/cop guy get him out of there?, did the scarecrow grab the cop?, did the cop not actually see the guy and see the scarecrow instead?
so many unanswered questions :L hope there's a Husk 2.
I am not sure about the ending as well. Anyway, it was not a cop, it was just some guy (with wife). But I really doubt the scarecrow would grab him - there were another people (his wife and the bleeding boy), so he wouldn't risk so many survivors / witnesses.
Anyway, I was expecting that the scarecrow will grab the rope (from boy's leg) and drag him back to the cornfield..
(or that they utilize the whole "petrol" idea, e.g. burn it to ashes)
So yeah, it was a bit letdown and useless cliff-hanger, but it was fine anyway :)
Most horror films leave questions unanswered at the end of the movie like Insidious, Saw 7, Dead Silence, etc.
and yeah, hopefully there will be Husk 2 :D
That list...have you ever seen a horror movie that wasn't connected to James Wan? Broaden your horizons, man.
Anyways, the scarecrow can't leave the field as they pointed out before. So he lays down at the edge in between Scott and the farmer (he isn't a cop, I don't know why people think that) most likely to get the jump on the guy. He knows Scott can't talk because he stabbed Scott in the throat making vocalization rather difficult, and he is probably betting on the farmer guy wondering closer out of curiosity when he notices the scarecrow and intends to grab him and add another husk to the collection. It makes sense, but it doesn't really feel like an ending at all the way it abruptly cuts off.
Also, it's a bit silly that Scott spends so much time on the ground prior to the smiley scarecrow's arrival trying to yell when he could have just clapped his stupid hands together. Yelling isn't the only way to get someone's attention.
Gripes aside though, I did enjoy this. Even with the shoddy ending and the other occasionally frustrating bits. I wish more modern horror was in this vein, rather than the found footage torture porn garbage that floods the market now. We need to bring back real villains.
The ending imply's TO ME (my opinion folks) that the boy had turned into the scarecrow. I dunno maybe not but the kid with the glasses saw the scarecrow look at him then lay down and the cops saw the scarecrow but shined their light at the kid...either way, even if they didnt see the scarecrow and only saw the kid the kid cant speak anymore so you know no one is getting out of there alive.
shareI think I have to agree with you. I saw it earlier and that's the only thing I could come up with too. I think the boy is already dead and that the director is showing us what it's like to be the scarecrow through that boy because he was the one with the visions. It does sound a little hokey but why didn't he just crawl out all the way out the field? And why did the driver only seem to notice the scarecrow? And on the boys face, right before the screen cuts, he has this look of realization and dread on his face like "Oh no, now I get it!".
shareit IMPLIES that they saw the boy but was about to be taken down by the scarecrow... maybe? Because it was in between them. Or Maybe it hoped to distract him, so they wouldn't even think to use their cell phones... like the kids should have done after they saw that Johnny was gone and their car was wrecked. Or maybe after the girl saw the first zombie body. Someone should have seriously checked that out. I would have screamed for my boyfriend right there.
share"so they wouldn't even think to use their cell phones... like the kids should have done after they saw that Johnny was gone and their car was wrecked. "
Pay attention, Scott did try to use his cell phone after the crash but it didn't work. Cell phones NEVER work in horror movies.

My interpretation of the ending is that Scott is rescued, meaning he is dragged out of the corn field and therefore either lives or dies but doesn't become one of the zombies/Husk's puppets.
The reason(s) I am inclined to believe this is that we know the scarecrows can't leave the field, and at the end we see Husk lie down simply because that's all he can do, given the fact that he's at the edge of the cornfield and never in the movie is the scarecrow shown to attack outside it, not even jump out of it to drag someone into the field, as one might think he could do to the farmers at the end of the movie.
On the other hand, Scott can't have become one of his zombies because we know that they all need to go back to the house and sew themselves a pretty scarecrow outfit. And if he were actually dead and becoming a zombie, he wouldn't just lie there waiting for help, he would instead turn around and walk all the way back to the house (the way I see it).
Earlier in the movie, we see that Natalie spots a scarecrow lying on the edge of the cornfield, and he doesn't show any sign of being anything but a scarecrow. He does see a boy, but he appears to be alive and well, and he runs into the field rather than appear to want to get out of it or need help. (By the way, who is this boy? It isn't the friend that disappeared first, is it?)
Perhaps they left it at that point because it's got a lot more impact to end a movie in this manner rather than show the agreeable character get rescued and driven off the scene of the crime/haunted house or location, etc. which feels a little old-school and not really the way thrillers or horror movies tend to end these days. And also because we don't really know whether Scott will survive or not.
I doubt that the farmers would want to explore the cornfield if they find someone who needs help -moreover, I think Scott would want to encourage them to leave asap.
Remember there was a dead time when someone dies so they can make a mask..the guy that the scarecrow just forked to death before final scene, I believe he was tending to the newest scarecrow in the sewing room and that leaves time for the guy at the end to escape.
shareI always assumed that since he couldn't talk, he couldn't warn the people NOT to look into the cornfields for other people involved in the crash.
And....it being dark, they might check out the scarecrow, he could be a body from the car in the darkness.

The ending implied that everything was basically going to repeat itself, just with different people. It's a cyclical case of horror.
