This review is from: Husk (After Dark Originals) (DVD)

Husk was an enjoyable and original film.

Call it Night of The Living Scarecrows if you will.

There are some flashback scenes that explain why and how the events are taking place.

The explanation was no big revelation or anything groundbreaking but other than that it was fun and original.

If you like the idea of Zombie Scarecrows with nails hammered through their fingers as a weapon then you will like this.

Even though there wasn't non stop action I was still entertained,the acting was top notch and the story pulled me in.There were a few genuine scares as well,It had a very creepy somewhat old school feel to it.

There isn't any gore to speak of, but there is quite a bit of blood and slaughtering going on.That said, most of the gruesome details are left off camera and to your imagination.

I liked it and thought it better than I expected.

I wasn't fond of the abrupt ending but all in all a very good effort for this killer scarecrow flick.

This review is from: Husk (After Dark Originals) (DVD)

This move looked great and had good special effects. The story was actually very surprising and I had low expectations for what turned out to be a good horror gem. I never write reviews and here i am excited to share this movie.

This review is from: Husk (After Dark Originals) (DVD)

5 college kids ( 4 males, 1 female) are on their way to the lake for a little R&R. They are traveling on some back road through corn country when suddenly a group of crows opt to sign a suicide pact and crash into the windshield of the vehicle. In a situation such as that, the only logical choice is to drive your vehicle off the road into a ditch.

When the driver comes to, the passenger who was riding shotgun is gone. There is no phone reception. They do see a sign on the ground with Gen. 4:11 on it. This is a reference to the cursed ground caused by the spilling of Abel's blood. The writers failed to capitalize on the scripture by producing an earth tremor after each death or by having a phonograph which plays old sermons and starts by itself.

The cornfield is not planted in rows for easy access, but rather in a haphazard arrangement so college kids, who have no sense of direction, can easily get lost walking in a straight line.

There are a few things going on. The driver of the vehicle pulls out a knife and further disables it. The chess club guy has past visions of two brothers. There is a farm house surround by corn, where they think they can find safety and call for help. Guess how that works out.

No sex. No nudity. Blood, no real gore. Just scarecrows going bad. Good low budget horror.
