Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Good concept, poorly executed.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

OK, here's the plot. A lover's triangle/quarrel results in one dead woman. Her ghost comes back to extract revenge on the living. One by one she gets back at them. I couldn't "spoil" this movie because it's rotten anyway, not that I've given up anything here. The only sad part is that the movie didn't just line up all the actors and finish them off in the first two minutes of the movie, say with a large caliber machine-gun, then any hapless viewer would be spared the next 82 or 83 minutes of misery. We watch a bunch of former reality TV show stars try to act and find out they can't; not a one of them has an ounce of talent. Many of them seem to enjoy taking their clothes off, but a couple of them should have passed on this option. Whatever we see in this film doesn't compensate for the time wasted viewing it. The really big question is why this movie was made.

This contains spoilers* My love affair with this movie definitely began during the "making of" TV show on E!, Kill Reality. By the time the TV show ended I was geeked to see just how these people would die! I was happily surprised by most of the script.I actually thought that the casting was brilliant. It has most of my favorites and I got a huge kick out of watching their first attempt in the movie business. I thought Ethan Zohn was super convincing. His death scene, although super bloody was my favorite! Sweet justice is served watching Jonny "Fairplay" Dalton finally get what he deserves. The DVD is way better than the E! version. The extras are classic.

This review has major spoilers, and I don't feel bad about because this movie was just plain bad. The stars of reality TV are out to prove that they can produce and star in a movie, and they wind up proving that they're bad actors. Not that the bad premise helps at all, and several elements of the plot are just ridiculous. A woman catches her neglected boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend, they all have a fight, and the woman winds up in a coma. The producers and director decide to hide the coma, and lead us to believe this woman is dead, for what reason I don't know. If they wanted to obscure the past, why start the movie with the fight? Why not leave out the first 15-20 minutes, and reveal the past as the movie progresses? 17 months later, the spirit of this girlfriend kills any tenant of the house whenever they cheat on their lovers. Why she kills these people first and not her boyfriend and her best friend is a good question. The incredible supernatural strength she displays in her killings should mean that she can easily kill who she wants. The worst scene is when a couple tell each other about their infidelities, and a lava lamp explodes, its contents burning the two until they're nothing but ashes. But what hurts this movie even more is the subpar acting. It's like a bunch of friends making a home video; it's meaningful to the people involved, but the rest of us don't want to see it. Back to your day jobs, reality stars.

The Scorned (2005) 5.5/10 Trish Schneider, Steven Hill, Jenna Lewis, Bob Guiney, Trishelle CannatellaI just finished watching "The Scorned" on E! I give the movie a 5.5/10... the Unrated version will probably be a 6 or 6.5/10, so.... yeah, the acting was bad for the most part, except for Trishelle. Her chase/death scene was pretty awesome. Jenna Lewis, Stephen Hill, bad. Stacie J, Bob Guiney, bad.Trishelle Cannatella, Trish Schneider Tonya Cooley, Ethan Zohn, good. And by good, I mean by comparison. The movie is about an "angel of death" who returns to the house where her fiancé cheated on her to kill every unfaithful lover who is there. The movie had a very small budget, but the visuals and such are all good. It's the acting that brought the score so low.The movie is campy. It has a lot of funny reality TV references in it. There's plenty of violence, which is always good, and plenty of sex. It brings you back to the old 70s and 80s horror movies where it was mainly about sex and violence. It's not "genre-breaking" like it claims to be, but it is a fun little ride.As a horror movie, it's not very scary, but I wasn't expecting it to be. Some of the editing was scary (and I mean scary bad, not in a good way). The script suffers a little bit from an ensemble of first-time writers (including Rob Cesternino of Survivor fame).Umm... I guess it's worth a watch. Don't go in with high hopes and you'll enjoy it.
