Scarecrow

Chad and his girlfriend Marcy sneak into the cornfield to scare their friends. They tumble into an old barn, Marcy injures her thigh, and a monstrous hand suddenly grabs Chad, killing him as Marcy screams. The chilling moment marks the beginning of the terror in the field.

High school teacher Aaron Harris leads six students—Calvin, Daevon, Nikki, Tyler, Maria, and Beth—into the abandoned cornfield to collect the scarecrow for a festival. They discuss the local legend about the place and its deadly past. The group prepares for the task, wary of the forbidden history.

Kristen Miller, Aaron’s ex, appears and talks with him, while Eddie, Aaron’s former best friend who dated Kristen, arrives but cannot restart his truck. Kristen agrees to help with the scarecrow task alongside the students. The group moves deeper into the field as tension rises.

Nikki and Tyler tie Calvin to the scarecrow, and then they vanish. Kristen, Eddie, and Daevon hurry to untie him, while Beth is seized by an unseen force and dragged toward the corn. The threat becomes personal as the tension escalates.

Beth is dragged into the corn by an unseen force, prompting Kristen, Aaron, and Eddie to rush to save her. They retreat toward a deserted farmhouse to regroup, hoping to outmaneuver the horror. The cornfield’s grip tightens as the attempt to rescue Beth continues.

Nikki’s body is thrown over a windowsill with her throat slashed, signaling that assistance won’t come. The survivors barricade the farmhouse and prepare for a prolonged stand. Daevon discovers a rifle and the group steels themselves for the looming confrontation.

Aaron, Maria, and the others learn the bus keys are needed to escape, but Calvin grabs the keys and races for the truck. The scarecrow ambushes him and kills him before he can drive away. Kristen then hurls a Molotov cocktail at the truck, causing an explosion that blocks the escape route.

The group flees to the barn only to be blocked by the scarecrow, forcing them to fall through the floor. They discover Marcy’s remains and Tyler’s corpse hanging from the roof, confirming the massacre. The survivors climb a rope to escape as a police siren approaches.

A police officer arrives but is quickly killed by the scarecrow as the group scrambles to survive. Daevon is slain in the ensuing chaos, leaving Kristen, Aaron, Eddie, Beth, and Maria to press on with a grim resolve. The survivors brace for a final, desperate attempt to flee.

Kristen, Aaron, Eddie, Beth, and Maria manage to escape in a vehicle, but the scarecrow attacks and cripples their plan. Eddie sacrifices himself by igniting the car’s fuel to allow the others to flee, and the group splits up in the ensuing chaos.

A farmer explains that the scarecrow was buried to stop it from killing Kristen’s family, revealing a vendetta that makes Kristen a target. Dogs begin barking and danger closes in, and the farmer is killed soon after. Beth contemplates offering herself as bait, but Aaron and Maria refuse.

Aaron, Kristen, and Maria escape on a tractor toward a boat graveyard, while Beth’s fate lingers as a trap. Aaron latches a rope around the scarecrow and feeds it into machinery, dragging the monster toward a shredder. The scarecrow pulls Beth to her death as the ship’s furnace is set and the vessel explodes, sealing the scarecrow’s doom.
