Scarecrows
Director: William Wesley
Actors: Ted Vernon, Michael David Simms, Richard Vidan
PlotA group of mercenaries pulls off a successful heist, stealing millions of dollars but turning on each other during their escape. As they flee in a hijacked plane, one of the crew members betrays the rest, taking the money and parachuting into an eerie and isolated cornfield. The remaining mercenaries land the plane nearby and set out to track down their rogue teammate, determined to retrieve their stolen loot. The cornfield, however, is far from ordinary; it's haunted by sinister supernatural forces. Scarecrows scattered throughout the field come to life as guardians of the land, targeting the intruders with deadly intent.
Throughout the first half of their hunt, the mercenaries find themselves increasingly trapped and terrorized by the malevolent scarecrows. Strange occurrences and visions haunt them, sowing seeds of fear and mistrust. They begin to question not only their own senses but also the loyalty of their companions. As tensions rise and the body count increases, the group realizes they are up against an ancient curse that won't let them escape easily. Their greed has led them directly into a battle for survival against an enemy that cannot be underestimated or easily vanquished.
