Scarecrows

2017 ·1h 20m · ★ 4.7 (34)

Teenagers are kidnapped and made into scarecrows, that are left to die in the crop fields.

Why it matters

A grim rural nightmare where the fields become a deathtrap and the victims a grotesque harvest.

  • Practical effects deliver disturbingly tangible scarecrow transformations, a rare treat in micro-budget horror.
  • Fans of “Husk” and “Wolf Creek” will appreciate its blend of folk horror and backwoods brutality.
  • The atmosphere leans heavily on isolation and creeping dread, turning cornfields into a claustrophobic prison.
  • Predictable in plot but anchored by effective mood and a morbidly poetic visual style that elevates the familiar.
