Watch Scar For Free

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

First, I want to state that I have only seen the 3D version; having said that, my reaction after the viewing was why was this shot in 3D? There is nothing visually attention grabbing or exceptional about the staging of this film; as a matter of fact, the cinematography is so featureless and unexciting that it might be useful to insomniacs. The flashback sequences begin immediately and make the storyline perplexing, especially since the writing and acting are so anemic. It doesn't take the viewer long to recognize who the killer is, but since the writer failed to develop any back story for him, we are forced to listen to him justify why he is killing as he is killing, which is very confusing and very far-fetched. The filmmakers attempted to imitate Saw, Hostel, and countless other films in the HORROR genre, with not much success. All they did was make a HORRIBLE movie. Most horror fans will yawn during this film and constantly check their wristwatch, and if they manage to get through the never-ending 78 minutes, feel swindled.

Scar is one of those movies that should have never been made. Basically a cash-off on the Hostel styled torture-porn genre (considering the directors previous movies I wonder why he did this now) you get your every cliché... a killer torturing 2 people until one gives him permission to kill the other (WAZ anyone??), he kills in a funeral home, he is introduced through flashbacks because guess what... some years later there is a copycat murder and guess what again, the only surviving victim played by Angela Bettis is confronted with the copycat. Thats about it... honestly I don't care if this movie is 3D because there was no scenes with a typical 3D shock-look anyway, so its just cheap marketing for a bad movie just like the whole torture-thing. The movie is most of the time way too slow moving and gets very boring, way too dark and way to over the edge with its tinted looks. When will someone realize that this doesn't look gritty but just cheap and synthetic if you do it wrong like presented here. I always like to analyze what stupid idea was going through the directors head like when changing the disgusting blue tint to orange when the copycat killer is dead or suddenly introducing green tints on flashbacks. Its really random like in so many movies nowadays and many of the zoom-dissolves looked totally like an amateur movie. Its a shame to see Angela Bettis talent wasted in such a sub-par movie. If you still are not bored of girls being tortured try to get off on the cutting and dismembering in the darkness. Oh, and spoiler alert... the movie doesn't even stop from letting the murder re-appear in the end, yet just in a "dream-sequence". A forced script with bad editing and post-production regurgitating every cliché possible and doing worse than most movies in that vein ... why are people still financing such schlock??

Lets just say I won't be leaping out of my seat and saying this is the most awesome movie ever, although I did like the movie and it did have a few unnerving scenes that were tough to look at especially if you're squeamish, what I mainly don't like is that its just another addition to the ever popular torture porn trend, if you look at films like SAW & HOSTEL, this will pretty much seem like a by the numbers gore fest, that doesn't offer anything new except a collection of gore and some painful torture scenes, which are painful actually. The concept itself is pretty good, there was definitely a lot of potential there, and the acting was above par for a film of this standard.Its good because it certainly has the concept, but in fact its not that great because if you know SAW & HOSTEL, which I'm sure every horror fan knows, this one will feel pretty much by the numbers.

Angela Bettis of "May" fame stars as a woman who returns home for her niece's graduation.There her haunted past resurfaces and the serial killer whom she thought she years ago killed once and for all is out to make her life living hell.This 3D/HD horror thriller is very bloody and gruesome.There are some graphic torture scenes of teenage girls that made me cringe.The script is utterly ridiculous and the film is clearly influenced by "Saw" and "Hostel".The identity of killer comes across as laughable.There are some huge lapses in logic and several young characters are downright annoying.Angela Bettis is pretty much wasted in this mediocre flick.5 out of 10.
