Visible Scars (2012)
Years ago, Mike killed the new mother of twin girls and took the babies to a house in the woods, claiming them as his own to appease his wife's desire for kids. 10 years later, Stacy flees to her uncle's old secluded cabin in those same woods to escape her abusive boyfriend. There, she is haunted by the ghosts of the little girls crying for their mother.

Good movie but grossly overrated
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
I don't understand why this movie was made. There is so ending or resolve. Don't waste your time.
VISIBLE SCARS is another cheap indie psychological horror film set in and around a cabin in the woods. As a horror film it forgets the actual horror and instead plays out as a dull character drama. A down on his luck Tom Sizemore continues his career trajectory downwards, playing an abducting psychopath who takes a couple of kids into the woods and keeps them there in the early scenes. However, the story then jumps forward in time and gets very dull as precisely nothing happens until the closing credits.
The movie was a big piece of cow (mixed in with horse) manure. Can't believe I wasted 1:42 watching this. It's like a made for TV movie: a bit slow paced, not too bloody, acting was a bit bland, the story background on one of the characters almost nonexistent, and the fact that the "scarring" was hardly noticeable (or believable as to how it was acquired), I could handle all that - BUT as you near the ending I think the editing department saw that it was too long, and ended up chopping the final scenes into disconnected pieces, leaving you with a sense of what just happened? It could've been a nice little movie, if they had put a little more effort into the last half of it. In other words written an ending that made some sense. There are a lot of good examples out there to learn from, like the reviewer Tahnik stated referring to "Mama" as one. So let's hope things improve in the future.
The Starting of the movie was literally amazing. But at the end of the director literally destroyed the whole movie.I was Really hoping something good from this movie. But my expectations were ended in smoke.I think the director was just wanting to release it and earn some money. If he really worked on the movie it would be a very good movie.The gore scenes were very bad. It was like i'm watching a movie from 1960.I think Mama was a very good movie. Director should learn from that movie.
