Four models go on a photo shoot in a remote woodland area. Said woodland area turns out to be the stalking ground for horribly disfigured psycho Jonah Kandie (a creepy portrayal by the hulking Don Kilrain).

Writer/director Eddie Lengel relates the familiar, but still enjoyable and engrossing story at a steady pace, takes time to develop the characters, makes good use of the sylvan setting, maintains a take-no-prisoners nasty tone throughout, and delivers a handy helping of bloody gore, with the moments of sadistic violence packing an especially savage punch. The bevy of hot gals in skimpy apparel provides some tasty eye candy. Original Jason Ari Lehman and Playboy model Lisa Neeld are amusing as a couple of locals while Molly Miller contributes an impressive turn as the feisty Tiny. Alas, the movie kind of fizzles at the end. So overall nothing new, but competently done and hence worth a watch for slice'n'dice horror fans.

Heading out for a weekend photoshoot, a group of models and the crew arrive at a secluded campground and begin working, but when they start mysteriously disappearing they come to believe the local legend about a serial killer running loose in the area and try to find a way to get away alive.

This one was a rather enjoyable effort. One of the films' more enjoyable aspects is the backstory and setup that plays into traditional genre tropes. The information about the supposedly possessed son is the kind of perfect small-town story for a film like this. It moves seamlessly from the type of gossip present which transitions to becoming the legend that not only causes the family to ignore his existence but also the impetus for his rampage against the models' beauty. That aspect carries over to the film's incredibly brutal and oftentimes sadistic torture scenes. Abandoning the concept of most slashers where the killer stalks them then attacks in short shocking bursts, the killers' tendency to engage in extended sessions where he plays with the victims and cuts into them in several stages makes for a fun time here as the enhanced gore from these types of kills provided plenty of messy highlights. These here are the film's big points which hold it up over the flaws. The film has a few minor problems with it. One of the films' flaws is the lack of an imposing killer as despite the impressive setup to get it going there's little else here to make us fear him. He seems like every hulking, scared backwoods madman hacking his way through teens and trespassers on his land which gives him a generic boogeyman feel and tone. The look of the mask is serviceable with the flesh covered skin but the lack of detail in the face and a strand of hair braid dangling off the side create a comical look more than anything, also giving this one a somewhat grander low-budget feel that runs throughout here. The other issue is the laughably convoluted and contrived storyline that completely undermines the actions present. The crew here discovers the bodies of their dead friends and yet split up to go searching through the woods for a missing group member who got separated, yelling their name out to alert the killer which is a wholly illogical and unrealistic approach rather than the more realistic abandoning the shoot and leaving. The lack of urgency there makes no sense either, and the entire last half comes off as if it were one comically inept scene after another leading them back to get killed. These here are what hold this one back overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity.

SCARRED is a very typical example of your indie horror movie. It sees four girls heading off to an abandoned building in order to shoot photos for their modelling portfolios. Cut lots of posing in underwear and bikinis for what seems like forever. Eventually, a masked killer goes on the rampage and begins bumping them off one by one. The second half of the film is full of torture porn-style kill segments which are dealt with in an uninteresting and distasteful way while the film as a whole is made without grace, flair, or wit.
