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??
