So There’s This 3D Horror Film Called SCAR... But Is It Any Good?!

so sick of this by Kloipy	May 7th, 2007 06:06:51 AM
TP is the lowest of the low for horror these days. People keep crying out that "it's saved the genre" it hasn't. At all. Just because you show someone get their leg sawed off, does not make it scary. Good horror, relies on story, suspense, setting, tone, characters ect. not just on effects. I love horror, and I grew up watching it (and yes I also love gory as hell films) but these are just retreads of the same territory. People competeing to show us the most depraved parts of their minds. Let's go back to the time where just a steady shot of someone (ie Jack in The Shining) could send shivers down your spine. and if you want a film that has both watch Audition, which is a perfect mixture.
about the guy passing out by Kloipy	May 7th, 2007 06:16:22 AM
if that's not some kind of stunt publicity, i don't know what is. These people make me laugh.
The movie is directed by Jed Weintrob by misterglass	May 7th, 2007 06:38:27 AM
Not a new director... he directed this odd political docudrama set during the Republican National Convention called "The F Word" which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival a couple years back. Was an okay movie but didn't really speak volumes about him as a horror director... or viewer apparently.
Here's a little story bout a man named Jed by Kloipy	May 7th, 2007 06:48:10 AM
dumb old fool couldn't keep his family fed. One day he was chewin' on some corn, when up from his head came a flash of torture porn. Shit, that is. WELL first thing you know jed's a thousand-aire, kinfolks said "Jed, we don't really care" So he went to california, an made a movie thing, and passed the fuck out the preview screening. Dumbass that is
LOL by Mace Tofu	May 7th, 2007 07:09:18 AM
Yeah passed out sounds like a stunt. " A MOVIE SO SHOCKING(LY BAD) YOU MAY PASS OUT FROM FRIGHT " Is it as bad as ANDRE THE BUTCHER?
Great Concept by allyousay	May 7th, 2007 07:12:40 AM
I'd love to see it re-made. Hm...maybe this would've been a great idea for Saw 3...D. Or Hostel 3-D. I hope eli roth is reading, and if he is...DO SOME ACID!
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head? by Jakes Nel	May 7th, 2007 07:42:05 AM
Then you haven't seen everything....
Wow. by kikuchiyoboy	May 7th, 2007 08:27:19 AM
It seems there is a lot of shit floating our way. I don't think there's been a positive review on anything in a while.
It's getting worse. by liljuniorbrown	May 7th, 2007 11:02:56 AM
I blame that fuck off Eli Roth. What a douche bag. Why would anybody in there right mind want to sit down in a theater for 2 hours and watch someone being tortured,screaming,crying and begging for there life? The first Saw film was original and the mystery as to who was doing the murders,why they are doing them,and the effect it had the the police investigating it was intresting enough,te gore just moved it along. I've stated it before on this site a thousand times and i'll keep saying it,spend sometime in a war zone (Iraq,Afghanistan,Darfor) or just pick up a National Geographic some time and see pictures of survivors of torture and you'll not want to see this shit protrayed for fun. I'm not for censorship at all, I just choose not to watch dumb shit like Hostel or Touristas or other bull shit.
The director must be pretty fat if he needs 5 seats. by Barry Egan	May 7th, 2007 12:11:57 PM
That one big dude.
Jerry was a gimmick by CuervoJones	May 7th, 2007 12:32:23 PM
Just like in the William Castle´s days

Jed Weintrob is one sexy man. by Christopher3	May 7th, 2007 04:42:34 PM
Yessir, he's a regular Bob Zemeckis.
All 3D movies suck... by cornponious	May 7th, 2007 05:15:03 PM
ALL of them.
Dude passed out? by Stuntcock Mike	May 7th, 2007 09:55:42 PM
You shoulda poked him in the ribs, tickled him, or at least kicked him in the kidneys. Fucking PLANT!
I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH by The Real MiraJeff	May 7th, 2007 10:53:10 PM
the talented writer of this film, Zack Ford, who must be about 24. Pretty impressive script sale at such a young age. Bummer the reviews haven't been too kind, but I'm glad the 3D sounds like it works. I really like the concept of it, pairing victims together and playing them against one another. I'll definitely check it out if it gets theatrical release, although I wish I'd been invited to the screening... Angela Bettis is hot.
Wow thats a powerful statement right there! by kingoflight	May 8th, 2007 04:45:58 AM
"If this movie had no 3D effect, I guaranty you it is the worst film ever made." The fact that the 3D effects made it better boggles the mind. Seam even worse that it was not in any of the horror part of the film. I smell bullshit about the DIRECTOR passing out, if that story is true i bet its a half truth that he was playing up his own bullshit film.
"...walk on thin ice at Lake Uwe Boll." by BannedOnTheRun	May 8th, 2007 05:12:38 AM
This review was worth the price of admission right there. I heart Adam Paranoia.
They actually got a guy to pretend to pass out ? by knifeandfork	May 8th, 2007 05:39:27 AM
Wow. I thought a stunt as corny as that was above most film producers. But hey, this is showbiz.Also, the "walk on thin ice at Lake Uwe Boll" line was hillarious, i may have to steal it.
TP is the new "Scream-style dialogue"... by pdennett316	May 8th, 2007 04:41:21 PM
TP is clearly the new crutch that horror is clinging to, much like the various Scream rip-offs clung onto self-referential oh-so-witty scripts. In a few years there'll be something new to cling to......maybe werewolves. By the way, typing this on the Wii is pretty tough, so you fuckers better appreciate it!!!
That's some funny shit by Doc_Strange	May 8th, 2007 11:59:03 PM
An exec who passes out at his own movie screening. That's downright priceless. Maybe he passed out with the knowledge that nothing could save this film. Hopefully the same thing happens with the audience of Transformers. Whatta fucked up movie that is.
fuck torture porn by Lost Prophet	May 9th, 2007 05:35:03 AM
utterly worthless. I'd rather watch the slew of post modern ironic slasher films from the 90's than anything by eli roth.
A horror movie with a plot? Best aspects was the gore? by jimdorey	Jun 25th, 2008 02:47:19 PM
What kind of review was that? Sounds damn good to me if you can make a grown man pass out! AWESOME!! Thanks for the heads up that a horror film might not have a plot and that the gore is the best thing about it (YES!!!). Its like you reviewed a Robert Redford movie and preached that it is terrible because there is too much talking and not enough gore. LOL. Thats why horror movies are successful nowadays. You must have seen the Hostel movies? Make any money from them? You bet they did. Now thanks to you - SCAR 3D is going to go gangbusters! And yes, the 3D is going to make this film simply a must see. Check out my exclusive interview with the producer on MarketSaw. Type in Scar in the search field - lots of posts for ya! The movie is not new to me haha...
