My quick rating - 4,1/10. Great if you want to watch teeny boppers act like morons, yelling for nothing. Getting past that annoyance which really was only bothersome at the very beginning, the movie itself ended up being better than I thought it would be. I won't get carried away and recommend you try to find it for your #shocktober viewing, but it is in the spirit of it. At first, this seems like another group of young adults heading to a cabin in the woods, only a corn maze that they act like they are visiting a resort. Another big problem with this movie, it is all over the place. It may have been better if there was some continuity to it. Day/night shifts are constantly happening, people are trapped and then free with no visual or spoken explanations as to how. Things you tend to take for granted. Anyways, our vacationing Halloween visitors of course being disappearing but NO, this is not your typical slasher. They have stumbled upon the Collective Order of Recreational Necro philanthropists, or C.O.R.N. for short. This interesting group gets together and kills people only to turn them into scarecrows as ART. So their bodies are essentially drained and preserved to be judged upon by the society in a strange ritual gathering which they allude to travels around the country and has their shows every year. Our screaming idiots certainly lack of any essential talent to do much more than this type of flick. And the whole tone of it just constantly jumps from comedy to serious horror and leaves you honestly wondering which it was supposed to be. I am hoping the former and grading it as such because with all the flaws throughout, and their are PLENTY, it can't be taken seriously for a moment. No matter how hard Robert Donavan, our head weirdo tries to make it seem so sinister. But even with all of this, I found it oddly enjoyable at times. The gore isn't excessive but ample to appease, the tropes aren't overdone, but are still there. Just something about it kind of grabbed me. I think it did come up with more than the norm with the plot that hit me the right way. Maybe it will for you as well, you never know.
