Let Me Be The First To Say...


...ten minutes in and this looks like it's going to suck.

Agree. I'm over 30 mins in knowing it's not going to get any better. The scarecrow peering over the truck was enough. Time for me to switch over to the Chiller channel.

reply

I don't get Chiller and Comcast took away my Fearnet On Demand. I guess I'm stuck with it.

reply

Kudos for sticking it out. Hopefully it ended better than it began.

It just kept getting worse...
Like a toothache.
Or a bad marriage

Bad films are a crime against humanity.

im watching and thinking the scarecrow vfx are pretty damn good for a syfy movie

reply

*beep* you this is the greatest movie of all time.

I'm hoping to see the big breasted girl run some more.

That would be nice.

Which one is she?

I think he was talking about the one who got sucked into the machine.

Really? While generic, I think it's better (quality wise, not a "so bad it's good" manner) than all those terrible versus monsters/shark movies Syfy's been releasing. I will say the scarecrow isn't scarecrow-looking enough for my taste - it looks more like the beast in Mothman (which is coincidentally airing right after Scarecrow).

The scene where Robin's character gets stabbed in the back was cool.

The last Syfy movie I enjoyed was Tasmanian Devils. Questionable SPFX and location (c'mon now, that was not Australia or anywhere near it) aside, it was entertaining and suspenseful.

this is one freakin crazy looking scarecrow.

reply

Yes, but you just know that Scarecrow vs. Megashark is in the works.

With all the atheist scientists in hell it's probably air conditioned by now.

Haha speak of the (Tasmanian) devil. This lake/river area looks kind of like the one from Tasmanian Devils.

SyFy showed Carny this afternoon which was about the Jersey Devil. Still, I would have rather seen the 1980 movie named Carny which starred Jodie Foster, Gary Busey and Robbie Robertson. Can you imagine if Gary Busey has played the Jersey Devil in the SyFy movie? That would have been epic.

reply

Whoa, some of you think on the same page I do! Tasmanian Devils was a very good movie on a Syfy aspect for me, but some scenes did look familiar with other movies. Like I think there was one movie, Ghost Town(/) where a bunch of teens/college students got stuck in the town and for a moment, I thought they used the same barn.

It does suck:

--CGI monsters do not scare me.
--Tired of the constant "Boom!" soundbite that predominates today's horror flicks.
--Too many off-screen deaths.
--When the teacher was putting the cell phones in the box, I thought, "That's a convenient way to get rid of the cell phone plot hole."
--Of course the fornicating couples are the first to die.
--Tired of the cliched horror movie crash, where the group is escaping but the driver doesn't keep his eyes on the road and there is an eventual crash.
--Small town hillbillies/rednecks who know about the demonic being that haunts their town but never explains why he continues to live in a town plagued with a demonic being. By the way, why did the redneck waste time telling them the story instead of calling the police or trying to escape?
