Plot
Scarecrows is about five bank robbers who steal three million dollars from Camp Pendleton and take two hostages, a pilot and his daughter. As the robbers fly towards Southern waters, one of the robbers steals the loot and parachutes into a dark eerie cornfield and the house had a demonic history of a cult. When Burt first lands in the cornfield, he looks around and finds an abandoned house and then goes inside and puts a bug swatter on a little pole hanging on the wall. When a dead crow and the bug swatter disappears, he then starts thinking "What the?" and then the criminals search the land. Curry said to look for the money, so they do. Jack says "Man, I wish I had my harmonica right now" and he finds his harmonic but is killed. The scarecrows are seen again, taking a look at their faces as they head back to the house. Roxanne sees Burt and Burt drops his gun and gets brutally beaten up by Corbin and they are surprised that Burt survived his brutal beating. Curry rips open his jumpsuit and sees that his internal organs and parts have been taken out and replaced with money. They try killing him and he survives but gets his head cut off by a machete and then his hand. They flip him over and start carrying him and he is as light as a feather. They start taking out the money and straighten the money, but they believe someone is trying to scare them into leaving but they don't. The pilot's daughter makes a run for it. Corbin chases her and she finds that her dad was murdered. Corbin comes and takes her away and sees that her dad was killed and they decided to leave. Roxanne is collecting the money and Curry stays behind to get Jack but he is already on his way and as Roxanne is still collecting the money, Curry starts talking about not collecting the cash. Then, Roxanne's hand is stabbed with a pitchfork and she tears her middle finger in half by pulling on it. Her head is then cut off by the scarecrows. Corbin and the pilot's daughter start heading for the gate but one of the scarecrows is following them. Corbin shoots the scarecrow but they are attacked by the two remaining scarecrows and back at the house, Jack still remains there. Curry gets a phone call from someone saying it's Burt. The refrigerator door opens by itself and Curry pulls the blanket off the stump and it's Burt's head. He then hears a noise and asks "Who is it?" and Jack shows up mutilated. Curry runs into the closet but the scarecrows are part of a cult. Burt's body was found and Curry shoots the body and runs outside and is stabbed by Jack and dies while Corbin and the pilot's daughter see the gate and get through the gate. The pilot's daughter sees the plane and the scarecrows see them as the two scarecrows stab Corbin's shin with a pitchfork. They intend to cut his shin but the pilot's daughter kills both scarecrows and they get on board the plane. Her dad hopped on the plane and almost kills Corbin by stabbing him but he is still alive. As her dad gets to the front he stabs his daughter's arm. As Corbin and the pilot get into a fight, Corbin kills himself with a grenade and the dog feeds on the remains. Then, you hear the news as the credits are on. The news says they tranquilized the dog and that the bodies have been dead for while.
