A group of five friends - Johnny, Chris, Scott, Brian, & Natalie - are on a road trip together when suddenly on a remote road in farm country, a flock of crows hits their car causing them to run off road. Johnny wanders off through a cornfield to seek help but seems to just disappear. Brian & Scott decide to cross through the cornfield to see if they can find Johnny and it's here that they spot an old house so they decide to head towards that. After not hearing from them, Natalie decides to go look for her boyfriend, Brian, but is dragged off by someone...or something. A little while later Johnny is found, but something has happened to him and when Scott starts to have visions of the horror that unfolded at the farm house it's here the group realises something is very, very wrong.
Upon quick reading about it, Husk seems like a cheesy horror flick i.e. killer scarecrows, but in actual fact it's not altogether that bad, and some of it is quite creepy. Plot wise, it's not too deep (obviously), but you do start to think that there's nothing much here...group crashes car, heads to find help, killings ensue. There's no real back story, until about just after halfway through the film the back story starts to unfold on what has happened and what IS happening, and it's here that it starts to pick up a bit.
All the characters are pretty likable - apart from Natalie, really, as you get tired of her and her continual "baby" talk - that you actually wouldn't mind seeing them all survive. How many times does that happen when watching a horror movie? There are some of the usual horror clichés dotted about, but I guess it wouldn't be a horror film without them really. Although it would be good to watch a horror without them just for a change.
Anyway, asides from that, Husk is a decent, watchable horror flick. Nothing amazing but it's not the worst hour and twenty five minutes you'll see.
