Goofs

When explaining why the scarecrows did not attack them before, Scott says that, in chess, you can use a turn to promote your pawn. This is not accurate, since promoting can only be done once the pawn has reached all the way to the end of the board, not just by simply taking a turn. Scott, as a member of the chess team, should be well aware of this.

"Husk" is an awful collection of clichés and fake reviews. I was misled by the good reviews promoting this flick and I found what a garbage it is, I have researched the authors of the foregoing reviews and I have found that most of them belong to people that has only one (fake) review in IMDb, Don't spend your time and money watching this unoriginal boring movie. My vote is two.
