The scarecrow themed horror feature Husk recently had a limited theatrical release through After Dark Films (Jan. 28th). Now, Husk will have a second premiere and this time the feature will be hosted on the SyFy network. The premiere begins February 5th at 9:00pm and a fourty second promotional trailer for this feature is below.
Also showing left is the DVD artwork for this feature, which asks fans to "join the harvest." Crows sit ominously nearby, as a faceless scarecrow promises future chills. Hopefully, a review of this title is coming soon, as this picture and Re-Kill seem to be the standouts of the After Dark Originals.
The synopsis for Husk is here:

In Husk, from After Dark Films, a murder of crows smashes into the windshield of five friends causing their car to crash. The group of young friends, inside, are forced to abandon the vehicle. Stranded beside a desolate cornfield, they see a light on in a window and decide to go in search of help. They head into the fields, but instead of finding sanctuary they discover something evil and unnatural lurking in the corn. They soon realize that the cornfields are inhabited by reanimated human scarecrows. These scarecrows reproduce by killing and forcing their undead victims to join the ranks amongst the undead army of scarecrows. Graye plays the brainiac of the group, Thomason is the blue-collar guy, and Chatham is the jock.

Horror fans can rejoice this week as a slew of horror films that were submitted to the MPAA all got an R rating from the MPAA. No battles over an Nc-17 rating and this batch of films is clearly not meant for the PG-13 crowd either. Husk is rated R for horror violence and language. Stag Night (aka Stag Night of the Dead) is rated R for strong bloody violence, language and brief sexual content. The Trap Door is rated R for language, violent grisly images and brief sexuality.
Here is what info is known about each of these films:
Husk appears to be part of After Dark Films "Originals" lineup. The cast includes Devon Graye, Wes Chatham, C.J. Thomason, Tammin Sursok and Ben Easter. The crew is made up of Brett Simmons - Director / Writer (story) (screenplay), Stephanie Caleb - Producer, Limor Diamant - Producer, Moshe Diamant - Producer,...

Click for a Better ViewHusk is the sixth production from After Dark Films, which puts several youths in jeopardy. An isolated cornfield turns nubile flesh into corn meal and mulch for an ancient purposeless evil. Director Brett Simmons says of the film: "this film is a real throwback to...true 1960s creepiness" (After Dark). And the newest photo, scene left, seems to echo this thought. Husk is slated for a January 2011, after production finishes. More details on this project are below.
