The After Dark Horror series are of various quality, some are awesome and some are quite the opposite. The movie "Husk" is somewhat of a mediocre experience.
As for the setting of the movie, then it has been used way too many times before; a cornfield and a scarecrow? Nothing new there, it was like a mix of "Dark Harvest" and "Children of the Corn". And the movie did suffer from an overly used horror setting.
The storyline in the movie, well let's assume for a while that there actually was one. A group of young people are in a car accident and find themselves seeking refuge in an old, seemingly abandoned farm house in the middle of a huge corn field. And the scarecrow comes to life and stalks them. And that was basically it. Very simple storyline, bordering on being too weak.
With that being said, then there was actually some good moments throughout the movie, and there also was some suspense. But in overall, the movie wasn't scary, and it had all been seen too many times before. The acting in the movie was good and the performances were alright.
One that that I liked in the movie was the concept with the scarecrow using the slain bodies to host its spirit or whatever you will decide to call it. Plus the way that they looked when they were possessed also looked cool. Very nice touch on the make-up on the faces during this time.
If you are looking for a good scare, then "Husk" is perhaps not the best of choices. I suppose this movie is a must watch for all fans of the After Dark series, just bear in mind that this is not of their best work, unfortunately.
