The strain on one’s eyes also likely wouldn’t be so bad if the characters that we follow were either better developed or contrasted with their modern surroundings. Admittedly, everything that’s mildly annoying about “Scare Out” is a stylistic choice. The overactive and irregular pacing makes it hard to care, hustling you from one setup to the next. The plot’s formulaic spy intrigue is sturdy enough, at least, though it also might have been more compelling if the movie were more like its action-packed opening and concluding sequences. “Scare Out” still concludes with one of a handful of awkward ballads, featuring didactic lyrics that spell out the movie’s themes of personal turmoil and self-sacrifice. The final song is a spirit-sapping doozy.
