Last week, the film Scarecrows was released on VOD. Someone illegally uploaded the video to YouTube and over two million people checked out the horror movie. I guess the people watching it liked what they saw, so they thought it would be fun to go to a cornfield, get high and find themselves lost in the maze as they looked for the scarecrow protecting the field.
Several farmers were so unhappy about this that they reached out to producer Adam Rodness and director Stu Stone requesting that make a video telling their fans not to recreate the movie. Which the filmmakers did over the weekend.
What is weird is why the fans would want to do this after seeing the movie. Scarecrows is about four teens who go on a scenic hike in the middle of nowhere with no cell reception, only to find out their car has been stolen. One by one they are kidnapped by the people who own the land. The landowners then torture them turning them into living scarecrows. Think of it as a movie with scarecrows meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I don’t know about you, but that is not a living nightmare I want to experience.
Therefore, I would follow the filmmakers’ advice and not go into someone else’s farmland. You might not get turned into a scarecrow, but you probably will get turned into the police. Depending on where you try this, you might also get in more trouble if you are also high.
Be smart, get high or drunk and watch Scarecrows on your televisions. It is much safer for all involved. Plus, there are so many drinking or take a hit games you can play with this film. Every time someone screams, drink or take a hit. Every time we see a scarecrow, drink or take a hit. Every time someone tries to use their phone, drink or take a hit. Every time the blonde does or says something sexual, chug or take a long drag. Or whatever else you come up with because there are many more!
