Inane Situations



Why is it when the guys pour the gasoline in the corn field it takes them forever to just light the freakin' thing? Every little sound they hear they stop what they're doing when they (or the one with the lighter) should just light the gas?!

Also, burn the house down too? Then the antique Singer Sewing machine is gone too! Or were they hoping to sell it on "Abandoned"?

The kid wearing glasses at the end is badly injured and mangled on the ground as the scarecrow is beating, cutting up his buddy. The guy with glasses can't even move apparently but somehow he manages to get up and start ramming the pitchfork in the scarecrow numerous times. He then manages to get away (after the scarecrow comes back to life) and run for like 50 yards like an Olympic runner. But when he gets to the edge of the field and right by the road he can't even get out enough of a cry "Help" for the folks who stopped in the car to hear?

This kind of crap is so cliche it's pathetic. The movie had a few moments (mainly in the beginning before the carp starting running downhill) but by the end it was lost in a field of cliches, bad acting, implausible decisions and just plain poor writing.

Agree. It's seems a case of adding in scenes without thinking them through. As far as the guys getting away are concerned, they could have...

thrown the machine out of the window,
or the nails,
or the mask material,
or the hammer,
or all four,
or they could have hit the scarecrow-to-be with the hammer while it was sewing,
or they could have nailed it's hands to the bench, seeing the nails were already through their fingers,
or they could have burned the house/cornfield down, at any time,
or simply pulled the mask off the scarecrow...

by the end it was lost in a field of cliches...


Lost in a field of corn, surely?


...it's just another dumb film, get over it.
