starstarstarstar
This unusual and entertaining film from New Zealand takes place in a small backwoods town in the 1950s, where a number of mysterious events lead to the discovery that an odd man (John Carradine) is a killer, guilty of not just one murder but of a slew of them. Carradine is tremendous as the weird murderer, a role he obviously enjoyed. The film's attempts at humor are a bit forced and out of place, but strong visuals sustain the suspenseful atmosphere. THE SCARECROW offers further proof that the struggling New Zealnd film industry is worthy of international attention. leave a comment
