the previews looked so good....., 7 July 2008
3/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

But of course, that's what previews are for, they're carefully edited to show only the best parts of the film and therefore suck(er) the potential viewer in. And even though I know better, that's exactly what happened to me.

What exactly is it about corn that seems to send people right off the deep end? It's never any other crops, like wheat, barley, rice...but corn seems to have the power to drive folks mad. So, there's the little town of Hope, somewhere in the Midwest, and there's Liz, whose car breaks down, conveniently, and who is forced to stay the night, waiting for a new oil pump. At the local diner, she meets Sarah, a tabloid reporter, who is there to do a story on one Jonas Hathaway, who was a preacher in the late 1800's who decided that screaming sinners nailed to crosses in the cornfields made the best scarecrows. This, until a little girl made it to the town of Liberty, and squealed on him, after which the good folks of Liberty dropped by to give him a taste of his own medicine. And he's supposedly buried in the cornfields.

So of course, Hathaway's restless soul is lurking about waiting to possess whomever, and Liz is unfortunate enough to have been chosen as his new bride. And, as usual, the town folks are all in on the joke, etc. etc. etc.

Lots of CGI crows for your viewing enjoyment, lots of tired plot devices for your boredom. And lots of reasons to avoid seeing this. 3 out of 10, but the previews looked DAMN good.
