Great Indie Horror
I watched SCARCE last night and I thought it was a great film. Simple story, three guys go on a snowboarding trip, crash their car in the middle of nowhere(the whole country is in the middle of a snow blizzard). A strange guy turns up to offer help...but he turns out to be a hunting cannibal! All in all, this was just up my street, it had a good atmosphere, the acting was OK, and if it's gore you are after - look no further! The Brothers Gore have done a superb job on this. I have read a few negative reviews on this on IMDb, one said the gore effects were bad...are you blind! This is and Independent horror film, and one of the best I have seen. The guys who made this Jesse T Cook and John Geddes, wrote, directed and starred in this...kudos to those guys. Didn't Peter Jackson start like that with Bad Taste!!! Brilliant effort a strong 7.5 out of 10
Fun, gory, awesome B-Horror!
So I was just visiting family in Toronto Canada and picked up a copy of this movie SCARCE at a Wal-Mart there. My friend from home downloaded it and said he was not a huge fan but I absolutely loved this film. It's got some cheesy parts but it reminds me of the classics I used to watch growing up. It's one of those movies you keep on your shelf for years and years. I was just reading some of the reviews on here comparing it to Hostel? It's not like Hostel at all or Wrong Turn!!! This movie is funny, gory, and genuinely frightening at times and was made for 300k or something. Steve Warren is amazing in it playing Ivan. I watched the featurette and I can't believe those two guys directed, wrote, and starred in the film and ran through the snow in their bare feet!!! This is the low budget spirit for sure!! I see it comes out here in the US in May. OKAY the lesbian scene was a little too much!
Gruesome and Violent and a lot of fun!
I finally was able to track this movie down. I had read a lot about it on the web and it sounded really cool. Snowboarders fall prey to cannibals in the woods. Sounds like my kind of movie and it I was not disappointed. It started out a little slow but picked up in the middle and didn't let go. For a low budget indie film it had really good gore effects. You could tell a lot of hard work was put into making this. I mean I don't know if I could run around the in the dead of winter in Canada in nothing but a t-shirt and boxers. When I was watching that I could feel the cold. Over all, a good horror movie with plenty of violence and gore! I would recommend this to any one who is into horror movies.
Not a bad film, but should have been about 3 Canadian snowboarders instead (like they actually were)
The movie opens with a naked bum(homeless man) running through the woods scared out of his mind being chased by something.And then there is a party scene which was a bit unnecessary.It should have started out with the 3 thirty something snow boarder guys on the road after the naked guy and bypass all the stuff from the stupid party.But it was just an excuse to show more T&A.And what was with making the 3 guys from Jersey? And even supplying them with a car with an American flag and New Jersey plates. I could tell right away none of those unknown actors were American.They totally sounded Canadian!The only one who could pass was Steve Warren who played the hilarious and nutty Ivan character,but I think Steve was the only American actor in this indie film. What pisses me off about a lot of Canadian cinema (especially this one) is that they are never based in Canada.This is an insult because we have large well known cities,small towns and backwoods etc,so this movie could have easily been based in the Province it was filmed.However I think there was one real shot of Colorado which was nice, so a better way to do it would have been to make the 3 snowboarders Canadians traveling through America instead which is what they obviously were! I don't think it would have hurt the film at all,in fact would have made it more believable. I don't get what it is with Canadian film makers! This was my main issue about this movie otherwise it was interesting and I started to get into it after the party scene.It seemed more like a satire then a horror movie.I just found everything about it amusing.The gore was good and disturbing at times.The most disgusting scene to me was when they stopped at a redneck diner and what the cook did to their food.I nearly got sick! I did sit through the whole movie without turning it off so I guess it wasn't all bad.
Better than it should have been.
By all accounts, "Scarce" should bore any avid horror fan to tears. It is a plot we have seen over and over and over again, and in the end, offers nothing new. However, the film does so many things well that it ends up being an enjoyable slasher film that is better than a lot of stuff I have seen make it into theaters lately. The film starts badly. In fact, I rolled my eyes more than once and was prepared to shut it off. We see a bunch of college aged guys at a huge party drinking, trying to get laid and spouting of some bad dialogue. However, this only lasts for about five minutes, when we flash forward to the next morning. We meet our three main characters--all typical college guys--who are heading back home from a short vacation of snowboarding in Colorado. They banter back and forth during the drive and eventual hit a huge snowstorm in Pennsylvania. They stop at a diner, where the have an encounter with some locals after asking for directions. Obviously, any horror fan knows where this leads, as the directions they are given are bogus and they end up crashed in the middle of nowhere in a blizzard. In the crash, one guy breaks his leg, so the other two venture out to find help. They get to a cabin where they meet up with a seemingly friendly local who offers them food and place to stay. Well, turns out (surprise!) this local is actually a cannibal, who, with the help of a few of his buddies, kills travelers and harvests their meat to make it through the scarce winters. The film is the combination of so many films I have seen from, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" to "Hostel" to "Wrong Turn" to "Calvaire." However, the production is top notch and the filmmakers know how to create tension and suspense using wide camera shots and angles. Additionally, our protagonists actually are pretty likable, and though they make some dumb choices, we can't help but to root for them. The gore is pretty well done and plentiful enough to satisfy gore hounds. We get chopped up bodies, slit throats, decapitations, and shotgun blasts. The setting of the film is foreboding and I really did "feel" the cold, particularly the last 10 minutes of the film when our main characters are running for their lives during the wind and snow in nothing but their boxer and T-shirts! It is a scene that is many ways reminded me of the highly stylized and effective final scenes of the French film "Calvaire" and I think is done equally well here. My biggest qualm with the film is that I HATED the ending. Too many recent horror flicks are using this "twist" to be different and effective, when it is actually becoming a predictable cliché. I was actually pretty invested in the two main characters and really wanted to scream when the film ended the way it did. Maybe I am becoming too soft in my reviews, but I actually enjoyed this film quite a bit and highly recommend it, despite the low IMDb rating and reviews here. If you can get past the beginning (and the end) of this film, it is a very well done and competently directed film that ends up being a lot better than it had any reason to be. FrightMeter Grade: B
