Scarecrow (2013)
A group of teens help fix their friends family farm and end up prey to a deadly scarecrow.
A reasonably enjoyable if not outstanding horror film that tries it's luck at urban legends and folklore with it's 100 year old killer scarecrow tale. There's some fun gore FX and the scarecrow, although entirely CGI, looks the business if not exactly scarecrow like in any conventional sense, more some Evil Dead like tree demon that makes it's way out of the ground.
The teens, headed by Lacey Chabert are okay - you don't hate them all from the first minute - and the story line is quite surprising in how it gets to it's finale. Put it this way you won't be able to guess the location where the finale plays out in a million years.
