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 if the farm is abandoned who planted all the corn? There is the nerd, why is he in detention to start with? 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? 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 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?) Driving out why did the driver swerve when the thing appeared in the rod? 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? 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, 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. The last surviving student is left to watch the area and gets chomped by the not dead monster. This creature seems to have no limitations as to time of day or how far it can go from the farm, not typical for this type of film. Usually there seems to be restrictions on the bad guys movements or when they are active. 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. Watchable but not one I would keep.
