The movie begins with a corny song over a laughable text message conversation so I knew right away this wasn't going to be something I would want to brag about seeing. The plot is about a complete psycho (AnnaLynne McCord) who discovers her boyfriend (Billy Zane) is cheating on her with her best friend (Viva Bianca). So she ties them both up and spends the bulk of the movie threatening and torturing them.

AnnaLynne McCord, with her horrible Southern accent and tacky hair extensions, offers up an extremely campy performance. You will undoubtedly spend most of the time viewing this laughing your ass off at her. She seems to especially enjoy using profanity like a child who has just discovered dirty words. She's really the whole show here. Whether you find anything to like about this movie depends entirely upon how much you enjoy her bad acting. Well, whether it's bad or whether it's "so brilliant that you just think it's bad" is up to you to decide. I know which side of that I come down on.

Billy Zane, once a respectable actor, has become moviedom's biggest garbage man. He keeps appearing in trash and getting paid for it. Viva Bianca is the only reason I checked this out in the first place. She looks amazing, even with that terrible wig on. Sadly, she plays the whole thing straight like she believes she's in Fatal Attraction or Misery. Don't get me wrong -- her acting isn't bad. It's fine, actually. It's just that opposite the scenery-chewing AnnaLynne McCord, she maybe should have tried to play the part a little more tongue-in-cheek. The script and direction did her no favors anyway. Director Mark Jones appears to have the same amount of talent as you would expect from your average Lifetime TV movie director. The story here is full of clichés and offers nothing to interest your average viewer, who has probably seen a version of this story done before and better. As a thriller, it's pretty weak. As an unintentional comedy, it's good for some laughs. Go into it with the right expectations and you might enjoy it.

Rich love-rat Kevin (Billy Zane) cheats on his girlfriend Sadie (AnnaLynne McCord) with her sexy BFF Jennifer (Viva Bianca). When Sadie rumbles the infidelity (after finding saucy text messages on Kevin's cellphone) she decides to teach the naughty pair a lesson they won't forget.

Halfway through Scorned and I was about to write the film off as a total failure, when I suddenly realised that the ridiculous script and overblown performances were intentional: I was actually watching a dark comedy! I guess the fact that I couldn't discern the film's intended nature for quite some time still makes it something of a failure, but after my epiphany, the rest of the movie proved far more bearable, with AnnaLynne McCord's performance being a master-class in OTT cinematic craziness.

With Sadie prancing around in her panties, sexy Jennifer showing us exactly how she managed to turn Kevin's head, some reasonably sadistic violence (including a nasty hobbling scene inspired by Misery), and the hilarious sight of an escaped convict, tattooed over his entire face, thumbing a lift in the rain, Scorned actually proved to be a reasonably fun way to waste some time. While not the finest title on Billy Zane's filmography, it's not the biggest embarrassment on it either (there are so many to choose from).

A romantic weekend turns horrific and sadistic when Sadie (AnnaLynne McCord)discovers her boyfriend (Billy Zane) is having an affair with her best friend (Viva Bianca).

If you are looking for a film about a kidnapper who tortures her victims for perceived wrongdoing, you will be better off with "Misery" (referenced here) or "Death and the Maiden". Despite a decent cast (I never tire of seeing Billy Zane), this plot is just not all that special and comes across as disposable -- despite a strange subplot / twist relating to a nearby prison...

In fact, this film probably deserves a 3 out of 10, but I cannot bring myself to do that because of one thing: AnnaLynne McCord. I loved her in "Excision", and now she has returned better than before. Some people do a good job playing crazy, and some (Jack Nicholson) are born for it. McCord may be in this category. A terrible film, yes, but an Oscar-worthy performance. If she gets the right roles, we may not have seen the last of her yet...

I recently watched this with my girlfriend and the scenario intrigued us both as I myself like the idea of having the character you are fond of have the higher power. The hit back techniques against the people who have done unforgivable things to us where great and some bits made me giggle. Unsure why.

The script was absolutely terrible I thought. Anyone can write this. There's no significant meanings behind anything here. Surely there could of been a rewrite because I wanted to turn the film off in the first 10 minutes.

AnnaLynne McCord is what the film had spot on for itself. She is outstanding and she really has a sublime career in her reach. She just needs the people to work to have more experience to adapt to her incapable emotional rollercoasters that she can portray so easily. She deserves a lot from this but the other actors have very few opportunities ahead of them. Ill give this a 5 because of AnnaLynne McCord. 5/10.

Mark Jones (Leprechaun) & Sadie Katz (House of Bad) have put together a really fun dark comedy.

The premise is simple, a pair of love birds head out for a romantic weekend but the plans are derailed when the boyfriend(Billy Zane) is found out to be a cheater. The girlfriend (AnnaLynne McCord) learns of the situation and becomes unglued and then the fun begins.

Many of Mark Jones films feature malevolent midget monsters but with Scorned Jones & Katz have created the monster girlfriend that every man should rightfully fear.

The movie is worth seeing just to watch AnnaLynne McCord (90210, Dallas) ratchet up the crazy!!!

I understand this is 'meant' to be some kind of dark comedy, but it's really just ridiculous. The acting is terrible, the story, if you can call it that, is terrible. It's trying desperately to be something it's not. I can only say Billy Zane must be in debt or something for agreeing to be in this trash.

The movie was just doing absolutely too much. Her it's got dull, more corny, & boring really quick.

I've never seen AnnaLynne McCord in anything before, I watched this film because Billy Zane was in it and he was solid in Dead Calm and Titanic.

The beginning put me off because of the unannounced text messages that were confusing for a second.

The plot is tired and inconsistent, the scenes totally unbelievable and the content is clichéd and cheesy: scorned girlfriend tortures and kills her boyfriend for cheating on her with her best friend.

However right from the moment she comes on screen AnnaLynne McCord rocks this movie all by herself. Viva Bianca is typical B movie stuff, Billy Zane is absolutely appalling barely even scraping B actor status in this, but McCord is A rated throughout, in every scene,despite having awful dialogue and poor direction in scenes.

She makes this movie totally hers and outclasses everyone else, and the score on this review is really for her alone. I recommend this movie simply for those who enjoy great acting, but only for McCord.

Forget what the haters say. I love this movie. AnnaLynne McCord gave a great performance in Scorned and i personally think she deserves an Oscar. She was funny, dark and very entertaining. AnnaLynne McCord is definitely an actress with a bright career ahead of her.

Billy Zane did a great job in "Demon Kight" and "Only You" but there isn't much to say about his performance in Scorned. His character was just there like a lifeless corpse.

Viva Bianca, she was in the movie too but it didn't make a difference if she was or not because AnnaLynne McCord totally stole the show.

I told my mom to watch this movie and she really enjoyed it. I totally recommend this movie. Go watch it NOW!!!

Directed and co-written by Mark Jones, Scorned adds nothing new to a well worn sub-genre of horror, that of the vengeful female unleashing hell after becoming victim to infidelity etc. Approaching this with any sort of hope for a bar raiser will only induce a crushing disappointment, but if able to accept it on its formulaic terms then it's a good torture porn time waster.

Plot finds AnnaLynne McCord as the woman scorned, her beau, played by Billy Zane, has been cheating on her with her best friend, Viva Bianca. Caught out by incriminating text messages, she lures the cheaters to an idyllic retreat and subsequently tortures them at will. The narrative drip feeds a troubled childhood angle into the mix, while there's some twists and turns to keep things lively in the final third. Tech credits are more than adequate, while performances from the three principles also scrub up nicely for the material to hand. 6.5/10

This is a joke! so predictable, poor acting and obviously low budget. I am so surprised why Billy Zane chose to be a part of the cast!

So I don't want to rant too much about this movie, for fear for spoiling it for other people, but I would like to review it before losing my train of thought lol. Normally I would roll my eyes at the thoughts of another revenge slasher, but considering how pleasantly surprised I was with anna- lynne's last horror 'excision', I thought I'd give this a fair chance. Don't get me wrong, excision is not for the faint of heart, but it's so odd and so well thought, that I couldn't help but like it. It was great to see an actress who is fresh out of 90210, help give a name to slightly 'out-of-sorts' horror movies. Unfortunately I can't say the same about this movie, as much as I was looking toward to it, the disappointment was unavoidable. Aside from the main couple, the acting was terrible, along with the low- budget gore and special effects. The plot of very unrealistic, getting worse as it went on and along with the terrible camera work, it was almost unwatchable at times.

I tried to like this movie, tried and failed. If your thinking of watching this movie because you like anna-lynne, in-particular horrors with anna-lynne, I wouldn't waste your time. It's low budget nonsense, so much lower than her capabilities.

Someone convinced this poor woman she could act, this is not the case. No lightbulb was ever turned on upstairs for her, at no time was any empathy ignited. After ten minutes of forced manic behavior the movie was turned off.

Horrible soundtrack. I kept on thinking this has to be voice of the daughter of a higher powered person involved in this film. Then the acting. Weird, messy, nothing made sense. The dog was the best actor in this movie. Terrible from beginning to end (end for me was minute 20). Disgrace of performance, directing, lighting, scenes, even the tacos looked like a horrific prop. Don't watch this. Avoid. To think I paid 1.99 fir this piece of waste of life. NO. RUN. WAtch cartoons, read a menu. Anything but this ridicule.

First let me start by saying AnnaLynne McCord was sexy in this movie and I don't know if that's cause I always thought crazy women was really sexy but let me tell you all this was a good movie from beginning to end good actors known actors the creativity was amazing I definitely got the message from the movie do not play with people hearts also be careful who you trust and who you tell certain information to still in all even though she was getting revenge from being hurt it also shows that you need to really get to know a person because you never know what inner demons they are fighting. I watched this on tubi usually when I watch movies on Tubi i disappointed cause it seem like that's what you watch when you have nothing else to watch but I honestly can say this is one of those movies I will watch more than once even though today was my first time seeing it Sunday September 17th 2023. I gave it at 7 out of 10 because. It wasn't the best movie I seen but it also wasn't the worst good job to the actors they all played their parts.

This movie is so laughably bad!!!! My advice... if you are in the mood to watch horrible acting, and a laughable story...then watch this movie!!! It's a complete suck fest from start to finish.

The acting is not so great, not at all, not by a long shot, like C or D-List acting, but the movie is so funny that it's impossible not to watch and enjoy. Storyline could have been much, much deeper, with better background and build-up, but I mean, you just can't help stay glued.

SCORNED is no thriller. Just on one particular event, they make the film psycho kind. That is very childish in nature.. And it is no way a horror at all. It shows the psycho girl traps her boyfriend, and her one of her friends in the home of his boyfriend. There could be n number of ways by which they could have easily escaped, but it is all damn imagination, that they could never escape, they even did not try harder in doing it.. That's bullshit I rate this movie 1(Awful).. Never watch, I wasted watching it.. The Story initially tempted to watch, but it was worthless expense of money and time.

Guys if u really want a good psycho movie, go and watch "Misery". The all time hit. You will like it.
