Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): This movie was filmed in Florida, but the story takes place in the California area. The radio broadcaster we hear says the radio station is WORZ, but radio stations West of the Rockies all being with the letter "K", not "W". Since the situation always gets worse for all the characters, the lettering of the station is meant as a hint to that WORZ (Worse), this wouldn't work with the correct use of KORZ, as it should be.

"Scarecrows" is great. The action starts immediately and doesn't let up; the atmosphere is dark and creepy; the special effects are good. But best of all is the fact that the plot retains a sense of mystery. The only people on the farm are the bandits trying to retrieve their money. There aren't any crotchety old crones who relate the supernatural history of the farm via soft-focus flashback, the way so many movies do. No. Instead we are given a few clues as the bandits explore the farmhouse, and that's it. We see a photo of the farmers. We wonder where are they now; what happened to them. But that's all. There's too much creepiness going on to worry about the past. There's too much creepiness going on to remain on the farm. Forget the money. And that's part of the fun too--shouting at the television screen, trying to convince the characters to get the hell out of there.
This movie is fun, bizarre, and the supernaturally inexplicable unfoldings will freak you out.
