Torment (2008)
Chainsaw Sally star Suzi Lorraine plays a recently released psychiatric hospital patient who heads for an isolated river cottage in order to re-adjust to the outside world, only to be stalked by a psychotic clown with a sick sense of humor. All Laura Wiggington wanted was to be normal again, but after years of living with some of the craziest mental patients ever committed that's a pretty tall order. Thankfully Laura's husband Ray (Tom Stedham) knows just what the doctor ordered - a peaceful getaway far removed from the stress and chaos of the big city. But now Dissecto the clown has arrived at Ray and Laura's cottage in order to perform some seriously sick party tricks, and Laura can't help but wondering if he is in fact for real, or a disturbing delusion conjured by her scarred psyche

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Ray hopes a little trip to a remote cabin will rekindle his relationship with Lauren (Suzi Lorraine), but soon he suspects her of seeing things, it doesn't help matters that she just got out of the loony bin. Elsewhere, a maniacal clown tortures and subsequently kills 'Mormans'. A few things work against this film, the is she crazy or sane angle is pretty much moot from the get go and thus the tension that that might've created is non-existent. Second to have Suzi Lorraine in a movie, and in one shower scene none the less, and never show her assets is borderline sacrilege, and three the lack of screaming in the torture scenes just stretches credibility way too far.That being said,the acting's pretty well done,the clown is effectively intimidating (even if the aforementioned torture scenes most definitely are not) and a chase sequence later in the film is tense. In the end, the good is offset by the detriments of the film
Wow...OK. So, after reading the little feud on here, I decided I had to see this movie for myself. This movie is HORRIBLE. I stopped watching it. I strongly recommend cleaning a closet instead of watching this movie, you'll be more spooked/entertained.It's low budget with bad acting.Whoever is giving this "movie" (because this is totally garbage) 10s is completely incorrect and should be disregarded.I am in no way connected to any of the other reviewers.Simply put, this garbage is not worth watching.Very, very, very, very BAD "MOVIE".
This has got to be the worst film I have ever seen. The acting is very wooden (even if the lead lady looks like Ali Larter) The script is very very thin. I cant believe how bad this film actually is. The only good bit in the film is where the killer rips out the tongue of a Mormon. There are even moments in the film where the lead actor looks into the camera as if looking for inspiration. It must of been very cheap to make with only 3 of the actors (out of 7) actually speaking. I wish I had known how bad it was would of saved over an hour of my life by not watching it. I have seen enough films in my life and cannot believe int his day and age, and with such great writers out there that they still release trash like this.
Saying Torment is bad is putting it mildly...it's bad bad bad.Showcased here is some of the worst acting I have ever seen. It is not laughably bad it is just irritating and makes you angry to have to watch such incredibly stupid characters, put forth some really really horrible acting.The dialogue was terrible and then being delivered with zero talent made it unbearable. The psychotic clown/murderer was okay in his acting role which had no dialogue at all.We're way out here in the boonies to get some rest, but there is a supermarket 6 miles away. Even more ridiculous is that the crazy clown lives 100' away, right next door.One of the most irritating problems with Torment was that there was absolutely no screaming allowed. I'm not kidding, no one screams, not even while they are being tortured or dismembered. These people have no real desire to live since they hardly fight and say nothing.The place of torture is a garage in a house; like no one will hear what is going on in there, right? The victims seem to be taped to a chair with a bit of electrical tape, anyone with an adrenalin rush or simply a will to live could break right out of the "restraints" or even hobble out of there chair and all, but no, no one has any strength or will to get away. They even try to be quiet while they are being tortured.Lauren is the only one who did a bit of yelling and spitting but it was so unmotivated. Break my fingers, shhh, remember no screaming allowed in this movie.Another problem with Torment was basic continuity, I just lost count of all the anomalies, errors and mistakes.It is sad to see a crew who want to make horror film but just aren't talented, experienced, professional or even good enough to make that happen. Torment is the result, and it couldn't even approach mediocrity.
