Even this welcome departure from the repellent focal point exists only to add to the stink once the two elements converge later.
SCORN MOVIE 2017 FULL
Such is the curse of a thespian with a mug full of ink, I suppose.
SCORN MOVIE 2017 SERIAL
The lone subplot entails an escaped serial killer from the nearby prison, portrayed by Doug Drucker clearly for his facial tattoos and not any discernible talent on camera. You know, super-fun stuff.Ī kindly neighbor arrives to deliver homemade chili and establish that there are indeed others within close enough proximity to hear the deafening screams of pain occurring right in the open air. This is as subtle and pleasant as the movie gets once the true nastiness begins, as we are invited to delight in hands crushed in a vice, a hobbling accompanied by an unnecessary “Misery” explanation, impromptu dental surgery and yet another go-around with electricity, this time applied to Kevin’s eyes. The first arrives in the form of her makeshift electroshock therapy, which consists of basically electrocuting them with a battery charger. Once the preposterous demand to take any of this seriously is made apparent, Sadie dials up the cruelty to straight barbarism, often incorporating her experiences at the hands of doctors in her “lessons” for the two. “Scorned” would bear all the dubious markings of a comedic failure were it not for the overwrought flashbacks detailing Sadie’s childhood, from her involvement in the death of her younger sister to the following years spent institutionalized.
Are we having fun yet? Sadie prepares the couple tacos for a dinner on the deck, and the action remains (or, more specifically, stagnates) there for much of the duration. An impromptu haircut and bathing to give the viewer a gander at Bianca’s lovely assets leads to an uncomfortable scene of forced cunnilingus, performed under threat of Jennifer’s lapdog Bootsie cooking in a microwave. Once Jennifer arrives and is promptly restrained, “Scorned” settles into ugly, soft-core torture p*rn mode. It seems he had been fooling around with her best bud Jennifer, portrayed by Viva Bianca from “Spartacus: War of the Damned.” This doesn’t jive with Sadie, who lures her pal to Kevin’s vacation home with revenge in mind for the two of them. Rewinding to earlier in the evening, we learn what landed him in this predicament and why girlfriend Sadie (AnnaLynne McCord of the “Dallas” and “90210” reboots) has him bound.
SCORN MOVIE 2017 SERIES
Things begin on a promising note after a series of naughty texts are displayed, as philanderer Kevin (Billy Zane) awakens tied to a chair, pepper-sprayed and sporting a log-inflicted head contusion. A strong cast and, well, Jones for what that’s worth behind the camera cannot save this from being one of the worst films I’ve seen this young year. Attempting a slick, mean-spirited tone much in the same vein as John McNaughton’s “Wild Things” (which worked marvelously) or Peter Berg’s “Very Bad Things” (which did not), “Scorned” succeeds only in being nihilistic, repetitive melodrama . Though not present during filming, I have a sneaking suspicion even the catering was a bland, tasteless chore to choke down. The latest from “Leprechaun” director Mark Jones, “ Scorned” manages the nearly impossible feat of doing just about everything wrong it possibly can. The entire price tag of an offering such as “Midget Zombie Takeover” wouldn’t cover one stick of makeup on the set of “I, Frankenstein,” yet both movies are equally difficult to sit through without contemplating self-mutilation. On the opposite end of the spectrum, expensive Hollywood releases so often place quantity above quality that the ratio of junk to gems runs just as high (if not higher) as that of bargain-basement releases.
Sure, anyone under the sun can create an awful movie with a Coinstar budget and borrowed camera in Mom and Dad’s garage. There is something almost fascinating about a complete cinematic misfire. A romantic weekend turns horrific and sadistic when Sadie discovers her boyfriend is having an affair with her best friend.
