The only thing worse then a boring, over-hyped low budget home video is a boring, low budget home video that relies on FAKE hype and planted shill reviews that most likely come from the people who made it. Why do I think and claim this to be the case? Well because I've been trying to work on a review of this movie for most of the last month. I'd always start writing it and then something would come up and I wouldn't get it done. Eventually I began to notice that every time I come back to work on my review, that Scrapbook was getting a ridiculous amount of new "10" ratings. It had to be like 40 "10"'s within the month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm sorry, but there's no way that so many people are out there loving this movie so much that they have to rush here to give it a "10". Especially since Scrapbook is a pretty weak movie all things considered! I'm not going to even go into the details I was going to share in my actual review because after seeing the endless shill reviews and ratings, I decided against it because this movie doesn't even deserve it. To put it mildly, Scrapbook is a weak carbon copy of every rape/revenge film (guy kidnaps girl and forces her to do bad things against her will) that's ever been made only with way less talent behind it. What Scrapbook does in abundance is an obvious army of shills who load this page with endless "plant" positive reviews and who sign up for multiple accounts for the sole purpose of giving Scapbook "10" ratings in order to boost it's IMDb rating. It's almost strange that the filmmakers even find it worthwhile since Scrapbook is nothing more then two non actors delivering the worst Jr. high school level performances that you're ever likely to see. There's no decent gore, just lots and lots of BORING dialog between the two non actors. There's also the so called " controversial" scenes between two actors and after seeing them you'll be wishing they never agreed to do those scenes. As for all the reviews claiming it to be this brutal, confrontational classic. Laugh at them because they're so ridiculous and they actually show more creativity then Scrapbook ever does. Always keep in mind with movies like Scrapbook that very few people see them and even less like them when they do see them. When you see garbage like Scrapbook with over 100 "10"'s for it's user ratings, be suspicious. All that said, I'd have probably gave this movie around a 3 or 4 (for effort alone) rating prior to seeing all the shill BS, but since Scrapbook has people who are obviously trying to boost it's rating by claiming that it's something that it's not, I have to give it a 1. For a much better low budget film, give the controversial Live Feed a chance.
UPDATE: Since yesterday when I posted this review Scrapbook has mysteriously gotten another 5 "10" votes. How pathetic is this movie when the filmmakers have to manipulate it's rating. What happened to the days when actual fans would dictate your movie's cult status?
2nd UPDATE: As of October 2, 2007, this piece of garbage movie now has 135 "10" votes!!! 6 more since my last update. Eric Stanze and company are pathetic!
