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.

TomShortell I recently watched this with my girlfriend and the scenario intrigued us both as I myself like the idea of having the character you are fond of have the higher power. The hit back techniques against the people who have done unforgivable things to us where great and some bits made me giggle. Unsure why. The script was absolutely terrible I thought. Anyone can write this. There's no significant meanings behind anything here. Surely there could of been a rewrite because I wanted to turn the film off in the first 10 minutes.AnnaLynne McCord is what the film had spot on for itself. She is outstanding and she really has a sublime career in her reach. She just needs the people to work to have more experience to adapt to her incapable emotional rollercoasters that she can portray so easily. She deserves a lot from this but the other actors have very few opportunities ahead of them. Ill give this a 5 because of AnnaLynne McCord. 5/10.

HitMeWithMusic So I don't want to rant too much about this movie, for fear for spoiling it for other people, but I would like to review it before losing my train of thought lol. Normally I would roll my eyes at the thoughts of another revenge slasher, but considering how pleasantly surprised I was with anna- lynne's last horror 'excision', I thought I'd give this a fair chance. Don't get me wrong, excision is not for the faint of heart, but it's so odd and so well thought, that I couldn't help but like it. It was great to see an actress who is fresh out of 90210, help give a name to slightly 'out-of-sorts' horror movies. Unfortunately I can't say the same about this movie, as much as I was looking toward to it, the disappointment was unavoidable. Aside from the main couple, the acting was terrible, along with the low- budget gore and special effects. The plot of very unrealistic, getting worse as it went on and along with the terrible camera work, it was almost unwatchable at times.I tried to like this movie, tried and failed. If your thinking of watching this movie because you like anna-lynne, in-particular horrors with anna-lynne, I wouldn't waste your time. It's low budget nonsense, so much lower than her capabilities.
