Joe Miller I was putting this movie off due to the low ratings on IMDb and I was quite surprised on how much I did enjoy this. The main reason I watched this was for Christopher Titus ( Who I found from comedy specials ) and was interested in seeing him in a horror movie let alone play a serious person. He did a great job playing Jeff and I was very impressed how he went from funny to serious in this movie. Although I figured out the killer pretty early on I still enjoyed this movie. I do love violence and gore so that might be why but I did like the actors/actresses as well. All in all great movie. I give "Scar" an 8 out of 10.~Joe

jimbeauknows1953 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.

TdSmth5 During the intro credits we learn from newspaper headlines that a bunch of teens were killed by a mad mortician. In the present, a woman named Joan with a nasty scar on her face visits her family. In flashbacks we find out how she ended up scarred. As a teen girl she and a friend of hers ended up spying around a funeral house. They got caught and were invited in by the mortician to whom young Joan is attracted. The mortician is indeed twisted and has the girls play a nasty little torture game. He will keep mutilating one girl until she begs him to stop and kill the other girl instead.Back in the present, the town is celebrating all sorts of festivities. Suddenly some of the teens, friends of Joan's niece Olympia, start disappearing. Joan keeps having nightmares, memories, flashbacks of the mad mortician. She has a hunch that things are not as the appear, it feels all too familiar, even though the funeral home is now turned into a horror museum. Olympia in the meantime is falling for a shy guy; her father is the town's sheriff. Joan gets herself in trouble with the law as she turns up at the scenes of the crimes just as law enforcement arrives. Because she keep investigating, she eventually finds herself yet again involved in the torture game.This movie is quite outstanding compared to most formulaic and sanitized horror flicks. There are really two stories here, that could have made for 2 movies. The story taking place in the past, which is also the more interesting one, is focused more on the horror and gore, and it's pretty horrific stuff. It also stands out because of Brittney Wilson's excellent performance. She plays young Jane, is a very cute girl, and gives one of the best victim performances I've seen. Her screams and cries of agony are very believable. Kirby Bliss Blanton performance as Olypmia, in turn, makes the story taking place in the present interesting. The director is particularly good in portraying teenage dialogue and relationships.This movie does not look good though, the coloring, mostly yellow/brown, is gimmicky, distracting, and pointless- it makes things look unreal instead of making the torture seem real. Sounds is excellent. The story and the twists were good. This isn't just about torture for torture's sake. There are some interesting death scenes- my favorite a death using some vacuuming device used by morticians that is plunged into a living persons abdomen, to well, suck out their guts. Other effects are very well done and realistic, not CGI, fortunately. I'm not so thrilled about the casting of Angela Bettis. She in a way is suited for the part of the troubled and traumatized victim. But when she's on screen, things become less interesting and watchable.This movie stands out because of a good and rich story, some great performances by attractive girls, realistic gore effects, and a welcome cruder and bloodier approach to horror. Highly recommended.

HumanoidOfFlesh 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.
