It’s long walk to the lagoon, such a it is, but soon the two couples are skinny dipping so everyone is happy. Ely gives his girlfriend Ash a promise ring, even though his friend Farbsie thinks he’s stupid to be tied to one girl while heading to college. Perhaps someone called Farbsie shouldn’t be passing judgement on what’s stupid.
After they’re done with the lagoon, Devon refuses to walk back to the car. She demands Farbsie and Ely go get the car and drive it back to pick them up. Yes, because it’s completely reasonable to drive your huge convertible across someone else’s corn field when you’re too lazy to walk.
When the guys get back to the gas station, they find the car is gone and blame each other. Then the girls show up because it’s taking so long. They are in the middle of nowhere, there is no cell service, and they don’t know what to do. They notice a farm on the other side of the corn field and head towards it. But that is to be their undoing since there are human scarecrows in the field. You just know if humans are hung on poles in a field, it’s the farm owner putting them up.
There isn’t anything new in this slasher. Kids going where they shouldn’t and getting picked off one by one. The characters aren’t likable so you’re not worried about them dying. Ash and Ely aren’t horrible like Devon and Farbsie. But when Ely cheats with Devon shortly after declaring his undying love to Ash, good god, I’m done. And Devon is a mean girl, She’s self absorbed, manipulative, and obnoxious. If you knew this girl, you’d always be making excuses to get away from her. She’s condescending and pressures people into doing things they don’t want to do.

Holy Smokes - you are on a tear this year! Good stuff - but surely a couple of these merit a gallery of shame...
