In 1910 a man accused of something is killed by a vigilante mob and his bride to be is burned alive. Except we don't get to see it. Now every 20 years (although it never works out that way) he comes back at the anniversary and kills anyone on the land. His descendants, not too much about the out of wedlock child, guard the farm to make sure no one gets hurt, but people do go missing from miles around. If it was me, I would post the land and take a holiday at this time.
May (Claire-Maria Fox) is a radio talk show host who specializes in unsolved 19th-century murders and can't keep her ratings up. She inherits the place and the scarecrow who wears new clean work gloves. He looks like a man with a burlap bag over his head and also appears during the day...not too sure what the seance was about.
The barm/stables were very clean and I was not sure who tended to the horse and chickens that were there for the year no one lived there. Also, the old newspaper clippings showed zero signs of yellowing. In fact, they look like something that was printed by a computer printer. All the newness was very insulting to a seasoned viewer. The filmmakers didn't even try, or else they thought the audience would be too stupid to notice. Wifi service, but no cellphone service.
The horror was light and the scarecrow wasn't scary.
Guide: F-word. Near sex. No nudity.

A true gem of a horror film! It's like the best ever!
Man, this indie horror flick was simply amazing! For starters, the story was so original and inspired: It's about this lady who inherits a creepy old farmhouse with a dark history and grim curse attached to it. I've never seen a horror film before with that particular premise. The scarecrow was really scary, too. Okay, so he's just some guy wearing gloves and overalls with a burlap sack over his head, but he still scared the living poop out of me just the same. I also loved how the story just dragged along at a super slow pace. All those scenes with people just standing around talking were so lively and exciting! Beautifully nuanced acting, sharp writing, and masterful direction, too! This film is just loaded with tension and spooky atmosphere! It's sure to be considered a true classic of the horror genre by countless generations of future horror fans. And any rumors that the filmmakers paid me twenty bucks cash to write this rave review on the IMDb are patently untrue.
A Dull Horror Film that Lacked Suspense
This film supposedly revolves around a Welsh legend concerning a scarecrow which terrorizes a certain part of the country for a limited period of time before abruptly disappearing--only to return a few years later and repeating the process. To that effect, as the legend supposedly goes, a young man was falsely accused of theft in the spring of 1910 and then brutally punished for it by being hung on a cross and left to die approximately 48 hours afterward. During this time crows mercilessly picked at his eyes while his fiancé was being burned alive in a nearby barn. For this reason, the spirit of the man returns every now and then filled with both a desire for vengeance and a yearning to be reunited with his long lost bride-to-be. That being said, after a brief detour the scene then shifts to the present day where a young female radio host by the name of "May Sealey" (Claire-Maria Fox) has just been told that she has inherited a farm in a remote part of the country and-being naturally curious-she decides to drive there with some of her friends to check it out. What she doesn't realize is that she bears a striking resemblance to the scarecrow's fiancé and that he has chosen that very night for his return. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a rather unremarkable horror film based in large part on its low-budget nature and the lack of any real suspense or quality special effects. To that extent, the story basically plodded along with none of the actors really standing out in any appreciable manner. Again, everything was all rather dull and for that reason I have rated it accordingly.
