CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Paul Andrews Scar is set in the small town of Wrightwood in Fort Lauderdale where Tom (Randy Wayne) & his friend Jenny (Ashley Nelson) are investigating the death of Zack (Brad Pennington), Tom's best friend & Jenny's boyfriend. Their attention turns to a log cabin in a nearby forest where Zack was killed a year ago, his death is still shrouded in mystery & they hope to discover the truth once & for all. What they find is beyond their imaginations...Co-written & directed by Rahil Bhorania this is a really dull, lifeless & bland ghost story. I wouldn't so much call it a haunted house flick as a haunted log cabin flick which was probably down to the budget as the makers could only afford a small log cabin rather than a proper house! The script by Bhorania & Stephen Goetsch drags on for what feels like forever, it drags badly with an extremely thin storyline which would struggle to fill out an episode of Tales from the Crypt (1989 - 1996) & even if it did manage to fill out an episode it would still be rubbish. You don't care about anyone or anything, it's so slow it becomes a real chore to sit through. There's a distinct lack of action or dramatic incident too, virtually nothing happens for long stretches & it really started to test my patience. The dialogue is poor & forgettable, the character's are dull & the story is utterly lifeless. This is the sort of film where the budget dictates what happens rather than the script, one to avoid.Director Bhorania doesn't do anything special, the camera remains fairly static & it's pretty much point & shoot stuff. At least it doesn't go down the route of shaky hand held camera movements & quick cut editing but that's hardly any recommendation on it's own. Forget about any gore because there isn't any apart from a bit of fake blood, certainly nothing to get you gore lovers out there excited. It's not scary, the plot has plenty of holes, there's no tension or atmosphere & a really rubbish ending too.With a supposed budget of about $500,000 the film is alright if you take the ultra low budget into account otherwise it's awful. How the makers manged to convince Dee Wallace from films such as 10 (1979), The Howling (1981), E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Cujo (1983) & Critters (1986) to appear in this I will never know. Low budget film veteran Joe Estevez (uncle of Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen & Renee Estevez as well as brother of Martin Sheen) has a small role as the local Sheriff.Scar is the sort of dull, forgettable & downright lifeless low budget horror film that didn't do anything for me at all. I seriously doubt most people will find anything remotely enjoyable in this, there are much better films out there.

Lawrence Griffin (written September 2006)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.

Arlis 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.

bobby.joey g.o Just to let you know.... this movie is incredibly cheesy but good at the same time. It isn't creepy, scary nor freaky. But Roy's accent and just the lines are just hilarious. i suggest if you want to just watch a movie for the hell of it and have a good laugh. you should get this!!!the acting in this movies is not the best but Definitely not the worst. okay so it's just another crappy movie but it's a good crappy movie. *SPOILER* people that haven't seen it LOOK AWAY!!! the movie makes sense until when they go to say thank you to BILL and when Dauphne kills Roy. how is bill dead? how did Dauphne kill Roy? i don't understand.
