Scar

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.

I usually can't make it through a bad movie. I turn it off and go on to another, but this one the actors made me want to finish.

I bought about 10 movies that K-MART had out because of Halloween and they all looked like they would be low budget crap, but I am a horror freak and love a lot of the low budget crap. I watched one of them called 13 SECONDS and it was one of the worst movies acting wise that I'd ever seen.

I was reluctant to watch this one, but decided I would give it a try and I set there watching thinking they focused way too much on a story that was stupid, and was very laughable.

The acting was bad for the most part, the directing was dull and I can't say enough about how dumb the story was but thats all the bad things I have to say about it.

The production wasn't as low budget as I expected. The sets and such were okay. The special effects weren't Tom Savini great or anything, but they weren't that shabby.

I love Dee Wallace-Stone and have the highest respects for her, so it was good seeing her, shes a great actress. Joe Estevez is likable, but I don't think he's a great actor, just simply unique and I like that about him. Charlie Sheen is the only one in that family that has real talent if you ask me - Martin's okay but no better than Joe. Dee and Joe couldn't hold this movie up with their smaller parts, but star Randy Wayne did a great job keeping this stupid story interesting.

Randy Wayne is a guy I'd seen on a few MTV shows and then forgotten about. He is a natural in my book, he doesn't seem like a guy thats just reading lines, he seems to play the part well. There's a few lines in this movie that I thought he could've done better, but thats up to the director to re-do it. He's going to play in the new DUKES OF HAZARD - THE BEGINNING movie coming out in 2007 and I am glad to see that. The new movie is cast much better than the last. Johnny Knoxville and that other idiot from American Pie sucked as Bo and Luke and made the Dukes of Hazard movie one of the most worthless films I have ever watched. Lets hope Randy Wayne does a much better job and helps make that movie better, like he did for Scar.

If You like any of the actors I've mentioned - watch this film, other wise don't waste your time - its pretty bad.

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.

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.
