If they have enough of a plot, decent acting, and some cool ways for the victim of the initial offense there is something to be said for this type of flick. But when they lack those things or when those things are deficient at the most basic levels\u2026 well, then you have a movie like SCORNED. SCORNED is a recent independent Blu-ray release from Horse Head Pictures but this is one that should have stayed in the can.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-iceapc=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53306\" src=\"http:\/\/flix66.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/SCORNED-featured.jpg\" alt=\"AnnaLynne McCord and Billy Zane\" width=\"500\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-iceapw=\"89\">SCORNED is the story of Sadie, over- and terribly-acted by AnnaLynne McCord. Sadie is in love with her beau, Kevin (played by Billy Zane) but when she finds out that he has been cheating she completely loses her mind and plots a revenge weekend with both Kevin and his lover, Sadie\u2019s best <span id=\"IL_AD3\" class=\"IL_AD\">friend<\/span> Jennifer (Viva Bianca from the new SPARTACUS television show). Jennifer and Sadie have apparently been seeing each other for a while, so what was supposed to be a romantic weekend turns cold-blooded as Sadie realizes her revenge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-iceapc=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53302\" src=\"http:\/\/flix66.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/SCORNED-01.jpg\" alt=\"AnnaLynne McCord and Billy Zane\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" \/><script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-iceapw=\"106\">The premise is fairly simple but what is so disappointing about SCORNED is the lack of initiative and originality. Indeed, the film even makes a mockery of other similar genre films like MISERY (with the much, much better Kathy Bates as the signature crazy. It is a decent parallel especially when you consider the fatal flaws of our leading lady \u2013 wherever Ms. Bates was understated and terrifying in her resolve, SCORNED instead relies on the (much lesser) talents of both Zane (who appears old and a little out of shape) intends the movie to be some sort of dark comedy on the state of relationships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-iceapc=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53305\" src=\"http:\/\/flix66.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/SCORNED-04.jpg\" alt=\"AnnaLynne McCord and Viva Bianca\" width=\"500\" height=\"210\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-iceapw=\"74\">Even the music that accompanies SCORNED is cheesy and significantly without merit. I\u2019m glad a movie like this could get some songs written and even recorded, but the end result is a movie that feels more like a hodge-podge of things we\u2019ve seen before a million times than an original move or take on the genre as a whole. Finally, the script is awful which leaves very little endearing about this romp in revenge-porn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-iceapc=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53304\" src=\"http:\/\/flix66.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/SCORNED-03.jpg\" alt=\"SCORNED 03\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-iceapw=\"105\">SCORNED feels like a movie made for late night Cinemax (perhaps you\u2019ve heard of Skin-emax?) that probably just didn\u2019t make the cut. I know there is an audience for a movie like this but SCORNED just isn\u2019t original enough and the acting is plain dreadful. Billy Zane was a decent choice for the boyfriend though they shouldn\u2019t have had him do anything physical because there he finally showed he really isn\u2019t capable of it. Viva Bianca actually looks like Meryl Streep when she\u2019s put next to AnnaLynne McCord, who over plays the crazy like she\u2019s on stage in High School. Recommend avoiding <span id=\"IL_AD1\" class=\"IL_AD\">this one<\/span> at all costs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>BLU-RAY REVIEW<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-iceapc=\"1\" data-iceapw=\"34\"><b data-iceapw=\"1\">Video:<\/b> (1080p Widescreen 1.78:1) SCORNED looks like a low budget flick, even in High Def.
