How do we know we aren't merely grotesque straw-filled humanoid puppets? Who's to say we're any more significant? In a hypothetical world like that of the film, where scarecrows get up, walk around, breathe and move and simulate life, it seems to prove that we are no less empty and meaningless than they are.<br /><br />Of course I'm totally just making this up on the spot.The Groundskeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949289155880261929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132620721136610844.post-57838386960691449482010-03-27T17:13:01.617-05:002010-03-27T17:13:01.617-05:00I love this movie.

Yes, it's poorly acted and not very deep, but some moments in this film still give me the chills.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132620721136610844.post-29385488752807593262010-03-27T14:28:37.661-05:002010-03-27T14:28:37.661-05:00Nice review Mike.

Althought, I do think someone should right a movie where the scarecrows actually work with crows to kill people. That would be great cheesy fun.R.D.

For a low-budget, derivative flick which isn't as deliciously 80s as other Slashers and Slasher-types which were coming out at the same time, it was surprisingly satisfying.<br /><br />I gave it a pretty positive review and got heckled for it by some friends who had seen it, too. =PEnbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
