Scarecrows is a 1988 horror film.
Following their robbery of the Camp Pendleton pay-roll, a group of ex-military personnel escape on a plane to Mexico, and end up getting double-crossed by one of their own, who parachutes out of the plane with the money. The rest of the gang gives chase, and they all end up at some cornfields and a farmhouse where an extremely vicious and territorial group of scarecrows is prowling around.
