The ChampDog Films production stars Claire-Maria Fox, Manny Jai Montana. Shawn C. Phillips has a cameo role filmed online.
Plot:
Failing radio host May Sealey (Claire-Maria Fox) finds out she has inherited a farmhouse in Wales from a family she never knew existed.
Intent on repairing her career, she sets off with her friends to make the ultimate discovery for her radio show – but what she finds may well be what she would least expect – for every twenty years, the scarecrow will rise, and this time – he’s seeking a bride…
Reviews:
” …an exercise in tedium as people get bumped off and May realises that her family connections have singled her out for attention by the ghost scarecrow. The same scarecrow seen leaning up against the wall in the stables or hanging on a post in the grounds then. While it’s good to see women making genre films […] this is just leaden cobblers.” Dark Eyes of London
” …one of the best scarecrow horror films in years. Sure there is a few issues with dialogue being overpowered by music, and some of the dialogue is laughable but don’t let that distract you from what is a well crafted story. The location becomes a character in itself in some scenes which helps drive the story forward.” Horror Screams Video Vault
“Bride of Scarecrow is a movie with all the faults of its predecessor, but made worse because the people making the film were either unable to improve things for budgetary reasons or just weren’t smart enough to realize what needed to be fixed. Having one of the main characters suddenly decide to commit suicide in an effort to stop the curse, just leaves you feeling cheated…” Monster Hunter
