phd_travel This little Misery update (2 victims instead of 1) could have been better done.Firstly launching straight into the misery stage wasn't right. It would have been better to build things up from the normal then show how things disintegrate. Instead there is too much of the "torture" and it loses impact after a while.What's more shocking than all the "torture" is what happened to Billy Zane. Why did he let himself go like Val Kilmer? Annalynne McCord does as well as she could have with this material. The friend looked a bit bored.There is a little twist at the end but it feels a bit lame. Overall it feels a bit tiresome and not worth the effort.

Boristhemoggy I've never seen AnnaLynne McCord in anything before, I watched this film because Billy Zane was in it and he was solid in Dead Calm and Titanic.The beginning put me off because of the unannounced text messages that were confusing for a second. The plot is tired and inconsistent, the scenes totally unbelievable and the content is clichéd and cheesy: scorned girlfriend tortures and kills her boyfriend for cheating on her with her best friend.However right from the moment she comes on screen AnnaLynne McCord rocks this movie all by herself. Viva Bianca is typical B movie stuff, Billy Zane is absolutely appalling barely even scraping B actor status in this, but McCord is A rated throughout, in every scene,despite having awful dialogue and poor direction in scenes.She makes this movie totally hers and outclasses everyone else, and the score on this review is really for her alone. I recommend this movie simply for those who enjoy great acting, but only for McCord.

BA_Harrison Rich love-rat Kevin (Billy Zane) cheats on his girlfriend Sadie (AnnaLynne McCord) with her sexy BFF Jennifer (Viva Bianca). When Sadie rumbles the infidelity (after finding saucy text messages on Kevin's cellphone) she decides to teach the naughty pair a lesson they won't forget.Halfway through Scorned and I was about to write the film off as a total failure, when I suddenly realised that the ridiculous script and overblown performances were intentional: I was actually watching a dark comedy! I guess the fact that I couldn't discern the film's intended nature for quite some time still makes it something of a failure, but after my epiphany, the rest of the movie proved far more bearable, with AnnaLynne McCord's performance being a master-class in OTT cinematic craziness.With Sadie prancing around in her panties, sexy Jennifer showing us exactly how she managed to turn Kevin's head, some reasonably sadistic violence (including a nasty hobbling scene inspired by Misery), and the hilarious sight of an escaped convict, tattooed over his entire face, thumbing a lift in the rain, Scorned actually proved to be a reasonably fun way to waste some time. While not the finest title on Billy Zane's filmography, it's not the biggest embarrassment on it either (there are so many to choose from).

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.
