A group of army deserters kidnap a pilot and his daughter and hijack their plane. They must make a pit stop on a remote piece of land with a deserted house and cornfield. Before long, supernatural events take place with the characters each dying at the hands of possessed scarecrows. A pretty good horror film, with good characters and some pretty bloody special effects. The first half takes a while going nowhere, but the last half is a good ride. Some clever ideas are brought in and out of the story and for the most part the movie is pretty original. A little more thought could have been put into the setting. A few more atmospheric touches could have helped, but I'm not complaining, for this is a good horror film to be seen by any horror fan. Some truly gory moments make you wonder how this got an R rating when at the time horror movies were being the victim of the MPAA's censorship. Three Stars.
