I first saw this in the late 80s on a vhs and liked it then.
Revisited it recently.
The movie is pale by today's standards as there is lil gore n the scarecrow in this one aint that scary.
A mentally challenged fella named Bubba invites the wrath of a group of men when he befriends a small girl. This group is always ready to beat or harass Bubba but one very mean man from the group named Otis wants to kill Bubba due to his hidden perversion towards the small girl. Otis gets his chance when the young girl is attacked by a dog and the townspeople assume it to be the work of Bubba.
The locations are splendid but the kills ain't innovative.
Larry Drake who played Bubba in this one is a harmless retard who befriends a small girl.
He also played the psycho dressed as Santa from Tales from the Crypt episode "And All Through the House" and in that too he befriends a small girl.
