Scar

(written September 2006)

Sadly this just is not any good at all. Another low budget horror flick that's not worth your time unless you eat this stuff up. The story looked interesting and original from the back of the box, so I popped it in, eager for a good suspense/thriller movie. But no, it's not good, at all, and if you put it in expecting a good movie then you will be thoroughly disappointed. The acting is bad all around, especially Tom (Randy Wayne), who can't manage to put any real feeling into anything he does, or, even worse, Fred (Paul Darrigo), who's horrible "acting" was actually enough to make me cringe in embarrassment.

The plot goes nowhere, and the whole 'mystery' is absolutely ridiculous when it's revealed near the end. The blood mostly looks fake, but there is some good gore (albeit the fact that it's pointless and does not help the story at all). I can't even say this movie was a fun experience, except for Jenny (Ashley Nelson), who was a decent actor at most, and very good looking. Served as something to look at, especially since she was often clad in short shorts or tight white T-shirts. Probably the only redeeming factor of this film.

Here we go again. As if there ain't enough crappy movies out there. This is an insult to the movie industry and to all the viewers. It should be considered a felony to release material such as this. The cast is unskilled & awful. Seems like there's no budget what so ever and the film crew is a bunch of voluntaries working for free. The story is thin, the sound quality horrible. Sometimes it's very hard to understand what the main characters are saying, but this is not due to the poor sound only to the actors/actresses - they are mumbling. Had to turn it off and rest after a while, my brain couldn't take more of this punishment. This movie is a bad joke. I'll never get this 1½ hour back!

People! You have been warned.

it ain't dawn of the dead but it was a good movie i believe, i ain't picky, i don't need a perfect Hollywood script, so i liked this movie, good story, decent actors, keeps ya interested. if ya get a chance to see it, id recommend ya see it. its a cross of a psychological horror and good ole fashion gore in the woods horror. but whatever ya want, its great. the lead dude has the voice of someone going thru puberty but ya get used to that cause the characters and movie take ya in after a while and if you're a true horror buff, you'll get into the movie deep, or at least i did. its a bit of a ghost movie as well, with its fair bits of gore, the story wasn't all that perfect, but who cares, it was a damn good movie, thats my opinion at least.

First of all, there are several movies called SCAR. This is one from 2005 and it is best avoided. A young man and woman visit a remote wooded location right out of EVIL DEAD to try and figure out who killed the guy's buddy the year before. There they encounter mother and daughter ghosts. Throw in a nasty sheriff (Estevez) and a wacky local hotel owner (Wallace) to ease the boredom and stupidity of it all. Incredibly badly acted and scripted. It is embarrassing to see the wonderful Dee Wallace in this, although she gives it what little bit of class it has. And I assume she wouldn't be in it if she had had a better offer at the time.

A bit unfair with such a low rating but this movie has been done so many times and by far better film makers. Still it can be watched and enjoyed at some base level.
