The Original Classic

HorrorTV Movie

Bubba, an intellectually disabled man, is falsely accused of attacking a young girl. Disguised as a scarecrow, he hides in a cornfield, only to be hunted down and shot by four vigilante men. After they are acquitted due to lack of evidence, the men find themselves being stalked one by one.

VIBE

A chilling, slow-burn tale of vengeance. This film evokes a deep sense of unease and dread, with a rural gothic atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. It’s a haunting exploration of injustice and its terrifying consequences.
