Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

BA_Harrison Whoever initiated the irritating trend of desaturated colours in horror films should be strung up by their genitalia and flogged until dead by a rabid, hunchbacked dwarf: the muted palette, which has become a cliché in itself, seriously robs some films of their impact.Take Scar, for example, a 3D 'torture porn' film which revels in its gore and nastiness and yet reduces all that lovely blood to a colourless mess; how could any sane film-maker make such a dreadful decision? (there are scenes that I would swear had been shot in black and white if it wasn't for the occasional almost subliminal watery hue).Other than this very noticeable and pointless absence of colour, Scar is actually a lot of fun; the theme might be derivative, the plot full of gaping holes and contrivance, and the benefit of an extra dimension questionable, but the likable cast and the relentless sadistic violence easily outweigh these negatives.Teenage honeys Kirby Bliss Blanton, Monika Mar-Lee, Brittney Wilson, and Tegan Moss, in particular, all deserve a special mention for their convincing performances as the victims of some exceptionally cringe-inducing torture, including razor blade slicing of the sole, stapling of the flesh, and tongue removal. These gruelling scenes are what Scar is all about, and they don't disappoint—it's just a shame that they couldn't have been in colour!6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

morrison-dylan-fan When i was looking round a local shop for a fun Saw or Friday the 13th style film,i spotted a very good looking Saw-style cover,that could be watched in 3-D!.And though it looked like a fun gory type of film,it ended up being an okay horror film,that is partly let down by being jaw-droopingly terrible in 3-D The plot:A woman goes back to her old town for the first time in sixteen years to visit her niece and brother.This is the first time the she has been back to the town since she and her best friend got kidnapped by a serial killer the got them to play a "game",the was that he would use very sharp blades to cut and scar each of them,until one of them tells him to kill the other one.But,even though she has done everything the she can to move on from this in her life,when she comes back to the town,friends of her niece start turning up dead,having been very badly scared,she decides that she has to face her troubles again,and try to find out how the killer has started up again.View on the film:The screenplay is by Zack Ford,although Ford keeps the torture set pieces that have now been done to death in these types of film,he is able to do slightly different things with the set up to the story.This is done by not having the main characters being in a group or with there boyfriends,instead they have the main two people in the film be girls that are on there own,the you feel really could be friends.The director is Jed Weintrob,and one of the main things that lets the film down is Weintrob doing Hostel/Saw style deaths with no creativity at all,the makes most of them very unrememberable.And i feel the i have to point out how disappointed i am with the shockingly bad 3-D version of the film,with almost the whole film being in black and white for no reason at all,and the bits of colour the are used in the film (such as a global map in someones bedroom being in colour)have no point at all of being the highlighted parts of the film,which end up making the film look like a very,very bad Sin City.Final view on the film:A horror film with a good set up,the is let down by some boring torture scenes and some terrible 3-D filming.

dschmeding 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??

kosmasp I just realize that my title/summary could be confused with my rating. It wasn't my intention. Originally I would've given the movie a 5/10, but in the end (of the movie), I was more disappointed by the opportunities it missed, than the not so bad 3-D things it had (although once you watch a 3-D movie in an IMAX theater, there's nothing that can compare to that experience).The movie is standard horror fare, so to speak, with some nice actors (some beautiful, some talented). I even liked the fact, that the movie didn't try to squeeze a big 3-D moment from every scene. It would have annoyed me. On the other hand, I heard people complain, that it didn't really make much of it's 3-D. So there you go, two sides of a coin. Depends on which side you will look then.
