My friends, I do believe we have another possible indie winner on our hands. I mean, I like all that I’ve seen so far. It’s called THE SCAR CROW (yes, there is supposed to be no E after SCAR) and it seems to be filled with numerous signs of fun that I usually look for in a horror flick. And the plot just sounds so damn enjoyable. Take a look for yourself and let me know if you agree:
Four guys from a city insurance company are not interested in countryside team building exercises and assault courses. They would rather be playing or watching football and downing several beers while trying to lay anything in a skirt. Yet here they are on an all expenses paid company trip to the middle of nowhere deep in the English countryside, not their idea of a jolly weekend away.
But maybe their luck has arrived in the form of three sisters living and working alone on a farm close to a small village with a pub! Other than football, everything could be catered for after all! The sisters are friendly, open and warm, but all is not as it seems as the guys begin to wish they’d paid more attention on the assault course.
Kind of sounds like a cross between SEVERANCE and WICKED LAKE and ain’t nuthin’ wrong with that! If you want, you can even check out the pretty sweet trailer over at SCAR CROW’s official website. I’m telling ya, this one seriously looks to be one big time genre contender. And yes, the three sisters do appear to be quite fetching.
THE SCAR CROW was written and directed by Andy Thompson and Pete Benson. It stars Kevin Connett, Tim Major, Darren McIlroy, Michael Walker, Anna Tolputt, Marysia Kay, Gabrielle Douglas, Andrew Bolton, and Anya Lahiri (below). No word yet on an official release.
