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.

(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.

Just came back from a movie night with my friends. We rented a movie and we were ready to rumble with a horror movie. We were ready to be scared! But already from the first couple of minutes of watching Scar we found out that this wasn't as scary as we hoped it would be.The first thing you notice at the very beginning of the movie is how bad the quality is and it seems like its made with a cheap camera from a crappy store. Another thing you notice is that the cast can't act!Although this movie wasn't the best when it came to quality, it sure was well worth seeing it. All through the movie the room was filled with laughter and we had heaps of fun when we were making fun of the actors, plot and the whole movie:) And we actually screamed a lot during the movie because of a couple of scary things. If you're looking for a horror movie- DO NOT WATCH THIS ONE! If you're looking for a good laugh and a good time with your friends-WATCH IT! I won't see this movie again- ever. But I actually had a good time watching it, because it was heaps of fun! HaHa. Good Luck!

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.
