It took forever for this to come out on DVD. I've had it for years because I paid big bucks for a bootleg copy from some third world country. But, I upgraded & have the real DVD now. It's nothing fancy. Not many make up effects or anything in the way of special effects. But, it is totaly origional. It's not a re-make or a sequal or a rip-off of another movie. And the story is really cool. It has a bit of gore to it, but not much. It survives on great directing & a creepy atmosphere. After a group of military soldiers rob a fortune from the Army & flee in a small plane, one of the thieves becomes greedy & jumps the plane w/all the cash. The others land in an empty cornfield & things start getting wierd right away. It is old school & in a class by itself. It is nice that they finally got the rights to release a legal copy of this classic. Again, this isn't to be confused w/Elm Street or TCM. It's low key & eerie & comes w/my highest recomendation.Read full review
Originally released in 1981 (I think), but finally released on DVD in all its uncut/unrated glory by MGM in 2007, this horror "classic" definitely has some very chilling scarecrow effects and a creepy atmosphere, but it still falls short of being genuinely scary. What is worth crowing about is the gore sequences--these demonic scarecrows don't muck around when it comes to vicious slaughter. While not an all-out gorefest, when the kills come, they come swift and mean, and the red stuff definitely flies. There are better examples of 80s horror cinema, and I certainly wouldn't call this a must-own, but horror fans could definitely do worse than have this one sitting on their shelf.
I wasn't familiar with the movie but it's good

I watched it and it had me on the edge of my seat for the better part of it. i f you can get past the b movie feel of it and limited special effects, the atmosphere and anticipation of the next attack are enough to keep you interested and slightly uneasy(think George Romeros Night of the living dead)If you like raw unembellished horror and a passable tale, you, like me, may enjoy it
This movie is what horror is all about, its fun, scary and has that SLOW suspense of who is going to get it and when. Unlike todays movies which are so fast that people get killed before you know them, this movie allows character development. It has nice horror also, like Stuffed with Straw and money, cut hands etc. If you are really in sick horror like Hostel, you may find this bland. But if your normal and just like a Horror movie you will love it. "Let me in Paco, there are scarcrows out here"
