Critic Reviews

  • Nigel Floyd, Time Out

    Solid storytelling, attractive cast and modish updates are let down by a lack of scares and jokes. IMHO not gr8, don't xpkt to LOL.

  • Sam Bathe, Fan The Fire

    Under-exploring the big reveal of the murderer and dragging the set plays out a little too long, Tormented's early promise fails to pull home.

  • Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat

    A gruesome, edgy, ambitious, and sometimes funny horror tale that doesn't shy away from exploring adolescent cruelty.

  • Peter Sobczynski, eFilmCritic.com

    By the end, "Tormented" is such a listless take on a potentially interesting idea that it feels like its own remake.

  • Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central

    There's a huge amount of respect for the horror side of things here as well. If it sounds like your cup of tea, then dive in as soon as you possibly can.

    There's a good deal of humor and a few nasty kills so other than an annoyingly "hip" soundtrack Tormented is a moderately successful newgen slasher that features a reasonable motive and beats the pants off of most others that have tried at the attempt.

    Ok but predictable and im not sure if it was surpose to be funny or not.If you like this stuff its worth a look but only if there nothing better.!

  • Film C


    well apart from a couple of funny jokes this movie is dyer! Britain must really stop writing horrors its just embarressing! This movie is boring slow and just completely unbelievable and really laughable! Just crap! This fat kid who gets bullied ends up committing suicide, after… More

  • Horrific R


    This movie is a bit more on the unique side of high school slashers, but not so much in a good way. The camera work and editing stands out most to me, and it works in giving the movie an intense tone, but the problem with this film lies somewhere else. The acting is fine, the plot is… More

  • Matthew A


    An interesting concept (in fact very similar to one of the stories I once started to write), but I felt that the film hasn't fully explored this great concept. The concept is a guy in a college who was being bullied commits suicide and then comes back as a ghost/wraith to punish… More
