This is not an actual movie; it's a bunch of people goofing off with a 200 dollar Sony Handycam. It's also the kind of talentless garbage that somehow manages to get distributed and goes on to discourage anyone who stumbles upon it from checking out other independent horror films in the future. Trust me, I've viewed a lot of low (or no) budget films and the majority of them deserve better than to be lumped together in the same category with this crap. The worst thing about it is that you're left with the general impression that the people who made it didn't even try to make a good film. How else can you explain the ridiculous choreography of the fight and attack scenes? When people are fighting, they don't even bother adding sound effects. When someone is stabbed, the weapon never makes contact with the body. When someone is hit with a stick, it looks like a gentle tap and then the person falls over. If someone actually cared, they'd do sound looping during post production. If someone actually cared, they'd watch the film back and realize machetes and knives aren't even coming close to the victim. Then they would take an hour of their time to shoot some close-ups of the weapon entering a body using a cheap prop dummy or something. These people apparently just didn't care.
The plot is basically about zombie scarecrows. But the majority of the movie is actually people aimlessly walking around in the woods throwing out profanities left and right like it's high comedy. Unfortunately, the dialogue isn't the least bit amusing. Aside from the corrupt sheriff and his new deputy, the main characters are three male campers. One of them is sad because his wife left him. Another is basically around just to die. And the third is an obnoxious fat guy you'll want to punch in the face every time he recites a line. Others include a psychic artist, a redneck mechanic and some guy who beats his wife and wants to start running a whorehouse in his home. The performances from most of the above are laughably awful and many of the subplots and side characters serve no purpose other than filling time.
The scarecrow design is limited to flannel shirts and guys with sack cloths over their heads. There is almost no gore to speak of. The best they could come up with were off-screen kills or a couple of people spitting up fake blood. The only possible redeeming factor is when the mechanic's wife takes her clothes off and hops in the shower. Other than that, it's virtually unwatchable. God forbid you actually pay 20 dollars to buy something like this. I saw it for free and still feel ripped off.
The people who made it also did a film last year called EVIL AWAKENING (which I haven't seen) and are currently shooting their third movie. Hopefully they'll manage to improve. Hell, there's nowhere to go but up from here!
