Review of Scarce

Scarce (2008)
3/10
Underdone.

Warning: Spoilers
"Scarce" presumably is an ironic title- films like this may be many things but scarce they are not. Three dumb as rocks snowboarders (which surely must be as close to a victimless crime as there is), fall in with some backwoods cannibals with predictable results. Nothing more predictable than the ending.

It's very slow to get anywhere- despite all the "foreshadowing" dialogue routinely clattering to the floor like a bag of hammers. One scene really irked me- the captives are made to dig a hole in the snow, using fairly substantial shovels. The cannibals are standing around not being particularly vigilant, yet they don't think to lamp the one with the gun on the side of the head with a shovel. That was the moment that convinced me that they deserved to die- other than the fact that they were snowboarders, obviously.
