The Scar Crow (2009/MVD DVD)
Picture: D Sound: D Extras: D Main Program: C
For
hundreds of years witches have been hunted throughout the land, 3 sister
witches have been cursed through eternity to never find rest or be able to
leave their farm. Now, 300 years later,
four salary men on a survival team building exercise stumbles onto the land of
these 3 buxom sisters and decides score with these locals. However, the 3 sisters have other plans for
their four young guests, their blood; their body will be the key to freeing
them from their curse in The Scar Crow!
What a
title! The three sister witches have also
been cursed for killing their incestuous, alcoholic father and they hid his
body in the scarecrow in the fields. With
his last words, he curses them saying they would be bound together for all
eternity and they are his, every day they try and bury him and every night he
appears as the scarecrow again. As the 3
sisters search for a way to lift the curse, they learn the only way to break the
curse is to finding replacements for each one.
Back to modern times 300 years later, those four men also decide to camp
over night on the abandoned farm, ignoring the warnings from the local old men
at pub...
This was
a tale of bewitching tragedy, as all the melodrama of 3 sister's father killing
his witch wife, he hates/loves his daughters for being witches (and yet, oddly
enough he has the power to curse them after failing to commit incest. Doesn't
that make him a warlock?) It basically
was the 3 sisters having sex with men and then killing them replacing their
body parts for their father body in the scarecrow of the field. As the young men think it's their lucky night,
it is quite the opposite...
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image is very soft and lossy Dolby Digital 2.0
sound is barely stereo as all is very badly recorded throughout. There are no extras, which is good, because I
was very bored and to trivialize serious subject matter in the midst of a genre
piece like this is did not make it more interesting.
