Scar

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.

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.

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.

Just came back from a movie night with my friends. We rented a movie and we were ready to rumble with a horror movie. We were ready to be scared! But already from the first couple of minutes of watching Scar we found out that this wasn't as scary as we hoped it would be.

The first thing you notice at the very beginning of the movie is how bad the quality is and it seems like its made with a cheap camera from a crappy store. Another thing you notice is that the cast can't act!

Although this movie wasn't the best when it came to quality, it sure was well worth seeing it. All through the movie the room was filled with laughter and we had heaps of fun when we were making fun of the actors, plot and the whole movie:) And we actually screamed a lot during the movie because of a couple of scary things.

If you're looking for a horror movie- DO NOT WATCH THIS ONE! If you're looking for a good laugh and a good time with your friends-WATCH IT! I won't see this movie again- ever. But I actually had a good time watching it, because it was heaps of fun! HaHa. Good Luck!

Agree with the poor quality production and actors, but it was mildly entertaining. A bit cheesy-horror, but then again, isn't that a genre of its own? Plenty of cheesy-horror buffs will like it. Sound was similar to telephone-quality, and some scenes look like 8mm, and cheap film too..some scenes look like they were dubbed straight from a camcorder. I have seen worse in my time, however.

It will not please the Spielberg audience, but those who like "Evil Dead" and such may like it.

One more thing, take a look at the DVD cover and purchase accordingly! If the cover looks cheesy (which it does), then don't expect Jerry Bruckheimer or Tom Cruise
