Bringing over post from Review section in order to answer all questions-
Just wanted to reply to an earlier "review" which had critique after critique about this made-for-tv movie, with question, after question, after question as tho, the movie had failed to answer them, and therefor left an entire movie nonsensical..Uhhhhh, No!..Nope, not hardly does this even begin to be an accurate representation of this little, made-for-tv, horror flick..but rather it certainly appears to be indicative of someone who didn't even half-ass watch the flick, but chose to come on and post a long review of critiquing questions that quite honestly had they ACTUALLY WATCHED the film they would've known that by far, and wide the vast majority were clearly answered throughout the movie..
And to be clear we're not talking about some really deep, thought provoking movie that requires devoted and undivided attention on every frame of the film in order to know what those answers are, and if the viewer's attention wanes even slightly then they are left lost for then remainder of the film..<<--this is NOT AT ALL the case here for this horror flick..lol..We're talking about a SyFy, b-movie flick here..and thus my entire reason for making clear that had the movie been watched at all, a viewer is NOT left with a mountain of unanswered questions that this above reviewer has indicated that he/she was left with..
Below is the quoted review with the mountainous load of questions, each followed by my answers highlighted in purple.. These answers came from my simply viewing the flick one, single time, on a mobile device.

Okay a group of detention high school students take a bus to an abandoned farm to disassemble a supposedly historic scarecrow for reassembly in town. The first question I have is..
Question #1-
There is the nerd, why is he in detention to start with?
*This question is answered right off the bat, in the very first, opening scene when we have Mr. H(Aaron) state exactly what the offense was that landed him/them into detention*
Question #2-
You have the bad guy and his slut, the cool ones I guess. Lacy Chabert shows up as the last remaining owner of the farm. Those who get drug through the corn rows show show parallel scares on their faces but there are only two each. Why, the creature shows five claws/fingers?
*Before answering I want to clarify that the word' "scares" as used above.. I am assuming that was meant to be "scratches"?.. Anyhow onto the actual question..
Did ya possibly even notice the massive size of the Scarecrow's claws/fingers?.. Because it clearly explains as to how/why a human victim's face could only have a couple of claw slashes on their face, even tho the Scarecrow had 5 claws/fingers on each of its "hands".. To put it into basic, easy to understand words..well, take a hand with claws the size of this Scarecrow's and how it'd be pretty, damn near impossible for the small size of the available area of a human's face to be able to have the width necessary for all 4-5 claws of that size to "fit" onto.
IMO that's a question that is only answered by using a mere teensy amount of common sense*
Question #3-
The teacher starts to go for the ex-boyfriends truck but the nerd, trying to be a hero I guess gets there, he is killed by the thing that looks more like a burnt to a crisp spider than a scarecrow.
*The "nerd" only went to the truck due to the bitchy character, Beth, begging and manipulating him in to going FOR HER.*
Question #4-
The kids start dieing one by one which is not a bad thing with most of those that are portrayed. Thin the gene pool. When they run to the barn I noticed that the bales of hay are very conveniently placed as steps. The CGI of the entity reminds me a lot of the shots in the Mummy when it is trying to reconstitute itself. When everyone that is still alive escapes in the working cop car (why does it work and not the truck?)
*Well, let's see here...Yet another question that is answered outright with zero room left to guess, or misinterpret..
(A)We clearly have the truck's owner openly and specifically state that the truck has an issue with overheating..not only does he outright state this, he also demonstrates it as well in showing the audience the truck will not start..
(B) Clearly we have the older model truck that we have been directly told is not starting due the fact its overheated..and then we have a newer model LE SUV that is in full working order.
It seems painfully obvious when you have one vehicle that's old, faulty, and presently overheated..and then you have a LE SUV that's in full working order..well, gee which one would be the vehicle that the victims were able to flee in?.. IMO no mystery there.*
Question #5-
Driving out why did the driver swerve when the thing appeared in the rod?
*OK, so I'm guessing "rod" is supposed to be "road"?.. As for the question itself, well, I'd bet the answer to "why" did Eddie swerve is the exact same reason why many, many motorists swerve upon their looking up and there being any number of various objects, people, or animals in the road, and immediately in front of their vehicle..*
Question #6-
Run over the damn thing. The ex-boyfriend is on brave sucker when he rolls under the vehicle and sets it on fire with the creature there with him. So now there are four left, gee who dies next?
*Well gee, firstly your numbers are off as after Eddie sacrifices himself in lighting himself, and the scarecrow on fire under the cop car..well, there's 5 left seeing that in your very next sentence below that follows this one, you clearly state you're including the brief minute of the farmer character being significant enough that you've included him in the countdown of what characters are there left to die.. Therefor that clearly makes your question inaccurate and nonsensical.. GEE, There are FIVE LEFT, NOT four(The farmer, Aaron/Mr. H, Kristen, Maria, and Beth).*
Question #7-
The old farmer fills in some background on what the thing is and whats going on to some extent. When he separates himself from the others thinking he will be safer he is wrong. Now there are three.
*Uhhh, no..after the farmer is killed there are NOT three left..THERE ARE CLEARLY FOUR LEFT! (Aaron, Kristen, Maria, and Beth)*
Question #8-
They come across a farm machine that I am not familiar with. They get it fired up and drag the creature and Beth into it. It grinds it up but is it dead? Nah, of course not.
*Well, to be accurate the only thing/person that is shown to have been ground up by farm equipment is the bitchy character, Beth.. But who cares about accurate or correct, right?..*
Question #9-
Going berserk after Erin is killed, lacy grabs the fire axe she had dropped, runs down stairs, traps the creature in a derelict ship and sets on fire to blow up. Where the spark came from for the explosion I missed.
*After Aaron is killed by the Scarecrow Lacy's character lures the Scarecrow lower, down into the bowels of ship.. She repeatedly keeps the Scarecrow's attention by clanking the metal fire ax with various metal surfaces in order to ensure it continues following her further down into the bowels of the ship... One of those last metal surfaces that she hit with the metal fire ax was a huge metal container of gas which begins to excessively pour out&into the ships lower bowels where she's lured the Scarecrow to.. The fire and explosion of which you speak were caused by the sparks she intentionally created from her banging the metallic fire ax onto heavy duty, metallic surfaces there in the ship..
Once again, yet another extremely obvious and very much clear, concise answer as to "where the spark came from that led to explosion"*
Again, my ^^above^^ answers are highlighted in purple and immediately follow after each labeled/numbered question.
HTH to clear up the mountain of "unanswered questions"..:wink: share
