Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

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.

Whoever initiated the irritating trend of desaturated colours in horror films should be strung up by their genitalia and flogged until dead by a rabid, hunchbacked dwarf: the muted palette, which has become a cliché in itself, seriously robs some films of their impact.Take Scar, for example, a 3D 'torture porn' film which revels in its gore and nastiness and yet reduces all that lovely blood to a colourless mess; how could any sane film-maker make such a dreadful decision? (there are scenes that I would swear had been shot in black and white if it wasn't for the occasional almost subliminal watery hue).Other than this very noticeable and pointless absence of colour, Scar is actually a lot of fun; the theme might be derivative, the plot full of gaping holes and contrivance, and the benefit of an extra dimension questionable, but the likable cast and the relentless sadistic violence easily outweigh these negatives.Teenage honeys Kirby Bliss Blanton, Monika Mar-Lee, Brittney Wilson, and Tegan Moss, in particular, all deserve a special mention for their convincing performances as the victims of some exceptionally cringe-inducing torture, including razor blade slicing of the sole, stapling of the flesh, and tongue removal. These gruelling scenes are what Scar is all about, and they don't disappoint—it's just a shame that they couldn't have been in colour!6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.

I have no idea why the comment was removed in the first place, this movie is horrendous at best and utterly laughable.In searching for a good horror movie, whether supernatural or just some nutcase running around with a chainsaw, I've pretty much seen about 85 % of the horror movies made during the last 15 yrs and this movie rates amongst the lowest.If anyone is familiar with the concept of Saw, this movie has taken a major chunk from that plot wise.Special effects were minimal to the point of boring. Due to the rating on the box i was expecting something gory but there's nothing much in here to scare anyone.The footage, quality wise looked a strange shade of grey - washed out, somewhat unsettling to the eye.The lead character - A female who resembles a poster girl for anorexia. I know it's the 'Hollywood' thing to show your ribcage and have sharply protruding bones everywhere but this was just appalling. I literally wanted to tie her to a chair when i saw her jogging, where would she find the energy to expend ? There are plenty of z-grade movies out there, this being one of them. I'm sure everyone watches trashy/candy movies once in a while, but this particular one was just a sad waste of my time and their money.

Lets just say I won't be leaping out of my seat and saying this is the most awesome movie ever, although I did like the movie and it did have a few unnerving scenes that were tough to look at especially if you're squeamish, what I mainly don't like is that its just another addition to the ever popular torture porn trend, if you look at films like SAW & HOSTEL, this will pretty much seem like a by the numbers gore fest, that doesn't offer anything new except a collection of gore and some painful torture scenes, which are painful actually. The concept itself is pretty good, there was definitely a lot of potential there, and the acting was above par for a film of this standard.Its good because it certainly has the concept, but in fact its not that great because if you know SAW & HOSTEL, which I'm sure every horror fan knows, this one will feel pretty much by the numbers.
