In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Dark Night of the
Scarecrow 2 B
Its predecessor, Dark
Night of the Scarecrow, released in 1981 as a TV movie wasn’t too bad for a by-the-numbers slasher
film. You could most certainly do a lot
better though, in terms of slasher films and
scarecrow films (1988’s Scarecrows
and Husk are examples that come to mind). Whereas the first one may not have been that
great, this recently released sequel is even less than not that great; it’s
downright awful! I know I shouldn’t
expect much from a sequel released roughly 40 years later to a movie that was
no real masterpiece to begin with, but a bad movie is still a bad movie (this wasn’t
even a so-bad-its-good movie). The kills
were poorly done, even laughable sometimes.
The violence in the first one wasn’t grand either, but there are many
more resources and funds, let alone leeways, in this day and age (and that
doesn’t have to mean CGI either), as well as much more entertainment to compare
to. It is related to the first one, so
you might want to check that one out first (if you haven’t already) to
understand references, even though I don’t recommend this uninspired sequel one
bit (if I haven’t made that clear). 6/13/2022
