With a brilliant performance in the movie ‘May’ Angela Bettis was noticed as the next Jamie Lee Curtis. But after a couple of low budget horrormovies she has dropt to a movie called Scar 3D. Its very easy to discribe Scar – Lots of Blood and worthless use of 3D. The first 3D horrormovie since the early 80′s is to discriped as ‘Terrible’. I didnt enjoy this movie, i hated the killer and his extreme non violent way of being the next Jigsaw or something. I hope everyone would just skip this movie. Because if you buy this movie you have no taste in horrormovies.
“Scar” has a few things going for it. It’s filled with some pretty gruesome practical effects work and the basic premise is interesting enough to maintain interest for a majority of the running time. Director, Jed Weintrob, manages to stage a few tense moments but ultimately a terrible script by Zack Ford brings the whole film down.
Angela Bettis stars in what I suppose you could call the lead role as Joan. As a teenager she survived a torturous experience at the hands of a serial killer, a local mortician named Bishop. Bishop’s M.O. is to take two friends and slowly torture them until one “gives up” and requests the death of the other. Having watched her friend’s murder by her command, it’s understandable that Joan is a bit messed up. It’s years later and Aunt Joan has to protect her niece from a copy cat killer, or the ghost of Bishop, or maybe even Joan herself. With all the potential possibilities, it’s still not difficult to figure out what’s going on.
That’s the main problem with the film. The script is just lazy. No interesting angles are ever really explored. It all just sort of limps from one scene to the next. We’re introduced to Joan in the first scene but it’s almost fifteen minutes into the film that she is even given her first line of dialogue. Despite Joan being the obvious crux of the story she is used as merely a background character for the first half of the film. When you have Angela Bettis in your film…you should probably let her carry the damn thing. Thankfully, when the script gets around to paying attention to her, Bettis turns it on and helps elevate the last half from casually entertaining to genuinely watchable.
There are also some pretty tense and wicked flashback scenes scattered throughout, and one can’t help but think they would have packed a more powerful punch by simply being shown as one extended opening scene. So, Scar is a jumble of missed opportunities. It’s never boring and isn’t a terrible way to waste an October night, but don’t expect the next great slasher.
Scar is not on par with any other slasher film out now and is in fact way below par is Scar.
The picture they put on here of the DVD (or should I say “BluRay”) makes the film look quite intense and fun but it really isn’t! The gore is minimal and that’s all it had going for it to be honest and let’s not forget that it is very VERY predictable and not in a fun way like “Freddy Vs Jason” it’s just, annoyingly cliched and I could guess the killer from the first moments of seeing it (won’t say he or she because I don’t want to spoil it ifyou do want to see it. But don’t) and I’m pretty bad at solving twists!
Acting is really bad and the directing is very indie, so I lost interest almost straight away. It did not need to be 3D, I’m guessing it only said that because that may be the only reason people will buy it? But don’t buy it, please, for me!
Overall it’s just bad. It pretends to be good but it really does not stand out from the busy crowd. Stay away! STAY BACK!!
Not as bad as reviews make it out to be and there is plenty of gory and relentless sadistic bits for gorehounds but it’s pretty much just a pointless film on the never ending torture porn train. The acting wasn’t amazing but it was actually pretty decent for this type of film with characters you feel for but at the same time weren’t developed enough for them to be vital with Angela Bettis being subtle but effective as always and I was pretty impressed with Kirby Bliss Blanton and man does the camera love her. The atmosphere was spooky and bleak and made the perfect setting and I also kind of liked the different shades of colors when it did flashbacks to the present and just adds to the devilish mood. The movie was actually quite suspenseful as I didn’t quite figure out who the killer was until the end and was kind of unsuspecting but the movie lacked terror and true scares and was just too vile and bloody mostly but I do give them kudos for trying new ways gross the audience out and turn stomachs. Overall it’s not really near a solid horror film but as yet another torture porn movie it’s not half as bad as I heard. Rental. More of a 2.5 stars out of 5 stars.
An awful and incredibly unoriginal leftover from the torture-porn craze, finally released last year when suddenly everything had to be in 3D.
Apart from a few ok gore-scenes, the only good thing about “Scar” is the amazingly talented but still highly underrated Angela Bettis
who delivers a solid performance
- though it’s really, really sad to see her acting in crapfrests such as this,
because everything else in here plain sucks:
loads of stupid and uninteresting characters played by lousy actors, an imbecile and completely unsuspenseful script, horrendous dialogue and a couple of annyoingly ‘extreme’ tortures/kills that are about as out of place as in similar TP-disasters like “Train”.
Ugly ‘stroke material’ for Eli-Roth-admirers.
