Scarecrows finally come into their own in the horror genre with this scary number.

Having just completed a lucrative heist, a group of guerilla thieves take flight aboard a plane.

When one of them intends to abscond with the $3 million in stolen booty, and parachutes out over a field, the others set out to pursue this traitor.

The problem?

The zombified scarecrows who watch over the field don't care about money, thieves or heists.

All these mean-spirited, supernatural creatures care about is dispatching any trespassers with the maximum amount of bloodletting.

This solid horror benefits from a claustrophobic atmosphere, wonderfully slow pacing, awesome special effects and some nice allegorical plotwork.
