Trivia:

According to the DVD commentary, when Darren Mullet suffocates Kalilah with a plastic sheet, Larissa Wilson actually had to be suffocated, as there was no way to do this using CGI.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Helena asks Justine over to watch Atonement, but she instead goes on her 'date' with Alexis. When the scene cuts to Helena and Emily watching the film, its actually The Duchess.

Quotes:

Justine:What did that poor boy do to you anyway?
Tasha:You want to know why we picked on him? We were bored, he was a spaz. You do the math.
Justine:I'm so glad I'm not like you
Tasha:Suck my cock you prissy bitch. You look down your nose at everyone, but you spread your legs just like the rest of us.

Bullying and Revenge

The head girl Justine (Tuppence Middleton) gives a speech on the funeral of the teenage schoolmate Darren Mullet (Calvin Dean) that has just committed suicide but she does not recall who he was. Then she is invited by Alexis (Dimitri Leonidas) to date him in the celebration party in the house of his friend Bradley (Alex Pettyfer). Sooner Justine discovers that Darren had a crush on her and was bullied by Bradley and his friends including Alexis. When each one of Bradley's friends is found dead, they discover that Darren has returned from beyond to revenge the humiliations he was submitted.

"Tormented" is a funny and entertaining teen horror movie. The screenplay is not original, with the usual nerds, bullies and bitches, and will not be nominated to the Oscar, but there are unfair reviews in IMDb. This movie is not amateurish; the young cast is pleasant; the girls are very beautiful and sexy; and the ghost is really weird and creepy. There are sarcastic lines and situations and the deaths are generally violent and gore. Give a chance to this film and you may have a nice surprise. My vote is six.
