pretty decent micro budget offering from director Steve Sessions, 12 October 2007
7/10
Author: Abaybay from United States

The Plot: A mentally unstable woman who, along with her husband, takes a weekend retreat to a cabin deep in the woods. Soon, the woman begins seeing a mass murderer dressed in a clown suit prowling around the area. Her husband, thinking it is caused by stress, doesn't believe her until the body count begins to pile up. But the maniac is all too real and the woman is plunged into a nightmare which there may be no escape from.

My Thoughts: Steve Sessions takes a micro-budget stab at the whole "torture-porn" phenomenon started by Eli Roth's "Hostel". While certainly not a brutal as that film, "Torment" actually doesn't focus primarily on grossing the audience out. Don't get me wrong, there are pretty gruesome tongue ripping and hand dismemberment scenes, the story is pretty much standard slasher material.

The performances from the cast are convincing, the pacing is pretty tight, and the special effects are very good.

Final Thoughts: Rent it whenever it comes out. Slasher and micro-budget horror fans will not be disappointed.
