Right out of the gate things make no sense when a group of teens get bused to an old farm for high school detention. The farm is being sold so they need to dismantle the old scarecrow and bring it into town.
This is the 100 year celebration of the yearly scarecrow festival. The farm has been abandoned for twenty years. Kristen, whose family owns the farm, says she’s not sure how the legend started.
Oh what legend, you ask? The one about the farm being haunted, and thirty people being killed and eaten by the scarecrow. But nothing has happened in twenty years so it’s fine for these teenagers to be playing around. Except that instead of getting to work, they run around in the fields. During their tomfoolery, some minor cuts occur which is unfortunate since spilling blood on the land brings the scarecrow to life again.
The movie is mostly the group holed up in the abandoned farmhouse trying to figure out how to escape or get help. At one point a sheriff shows up and instead of explaining what is going on, they keep saying “It’s not what it seems.” Thus ensuring the sheriff has no idea there is a killer scarecrow on the loose and he’s the only one outside with it.
