Freaktana A Major Disappointment

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

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Spikeopath Directed and co-written by Mark Jones, Scorned adds nothing new to a well worn sub-genre of horror, that of the vengeful female unleashing hell after becoming victim to infidelity etc. Approaching this with any sort of hope for a bar raiser will only induce a crushing disappointment, but if able to accept it on its formulaic terms then it's a good torture porn time waster.Plot finds AnnaLynne McCord as the woman scorned, her beau, played by Billy Zane, has been cheating on her with her best friend, Viva Bianca. Caught out by incriminating text messages, she lures the cheaters to an idyllic retreat and subsequently tortures them at will. The narrative drip feeds a troubled childhood angle into the mix, while there's some twists and turns to keep things lively in the final third. Tech credits are more than adequate, while performances from the three principles also scrub up nicely for the material to hand. 6.5/10

basileos I just finished watching this film, and came here to see what others thought of it. I'm actually surprised not many liked it. For sure there were some major plot holes, but I always lean toward the philosophy of suspension of disbelief when I spot these errors, especially in horror films. So story wise, I do agree with the other commentators that the script could have used a good polish by just about anyone who has read a book.But I do have to recommend the movie for the acting of the lead actress. I have never seen Anna Lynn McCord in anything, so had no idea if she was any good. Turns out she was good. She plays scary psycho fairly well, but not enough for the role to become iconic like Glenn Close as Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction. But she is young and will probably be able to deliver some sort of outstanding performance in the future. Anyway I gave it 6/10, but that was mostly because of McCord.

rohit_vit2020 SCORNED is no thriller. Just on one particular event, they make the film psycho kind. That is very childish in nature.. And it is no way a horror at all. It shows the psycho girl traps her boyfriend, and her one of her friends in the home of his boyfriend. There could be n number of ways by which they could have easily escaped, but it is all damn imagination, that they could never escape, they even did not try harder in doing it.. That's bullshit I rate this movie 1(Awful).. Never watch, I wasted watching it.. The Story initially tempted to watch, but it was worthless expense of money and time.Guys if u really want a good psycho movie, go and watch "Misery". The all time hit. You will like it.

utgard14 The movie begins with a corny song over a laughable text message conversation so I knew right away this wasn't going to be something I would want to brag about seeing. The plot is about a complete psycho (AnnaLynne McCord) who discovers her boyfriend (Billy Zane) is cheating on her with her best friend (Viva Bianca). So she ties them both up and spends the bulk of the movie threatening and torturing them.AnnaLynne McCord, with her horrible Southern accent and tacky hair extensions, offers up an extremely campy performance. You will undoubtedly spend most of the time viewing this laughing your ass off at her. She seems to especially enjoy using profanity like a child who has just discovered dirty words. She's really the whole show here. Whether you find anything to like about this movie depends entirely upon how much you enjoy her bad acting. Well, whether it's bad or whether it's "so brilliant that you just think it's bad" is up to you to decide. I know which side of that I come down on.Billy Zane, once a respectable actor, has become moviedom's biggest garbage man. He keeps appearing in trash and getting paid for it. Viva Bianca is the only reason I checked this out in the first place. She looks amazing, even with that terrible wig on. Sadly, she plays the whole thing straight like she believes she's in Fatal Attraction or Misery. Don't get me wrong -- her acting isn't bad. It's fine, actually. It's just that opposite the scenery-chewing AnnaLynne McCord, she maybe should have tried to play the part a little more tongue-in-cheek. The script and direction did her no favors anyway. Director Mark Jones appears to have the same amount of talent as you would expect from your average Lifetime TV movie director. The story here is full of clichés and offers nothing to interest your average viewer, who has probably seen a version of this story done before and better. As a thriller, it's pretty weak. As an unintentional comedy, it's good for some laughs. Go into it with the right expectations and you might enjoy it.
