I did not know this was a Canadian film until I read some of the comments on this page. This is rather important since you can usually smell a Canadian film from a mile away. This movie was well executed with all great staples of crazy redneck genre. It has rednecks, blood, torture, gore, fear, a chase scene, a creepy cabin, cannibalism and much much more that will keep the genre fanatics satisfied.
The acting was rather imbalanced but pretty good with the villains being rather talented and the victims being kind of amateur but all is fine when most of their lines were replaced with screaming and pleading. The setting was creepy, a remote cabin surrounded by snow and forest.
The film doesn't really bring anything new to the genre but very few of these types of movies do. Settings might differ between forest and desert or the sanity of the rednecks in different films might be varied but all these movies follow the same, but entertaining, formula. The formula works. If you like crazy redneck films or you are just looking for an evening of depravity, watch Scarce.
Just to note, I have noticed that people who give bad reviews for these types of movies on IMDb almost always say ' I am a huge die-hard fan of exploitative horror but....' (or something similar) and then they start analyzing it like you would analyze 'The Red Violin' or 'The Notebook' . Please stop bashing movies just because you wanted to see a drama or a romance. I don't go and review 'Finding Nemo' saying stuff like 'not enough entrails' and 'unrealistic, fish don't talk'.
