Torment

About This Movie

Torment (2022) really leans into that atmospheric dread that some horror flicks miss these days. The film has this slow-burn pacing that lets the tension build, and it kinda creeps under your skin. The two leads are well-cast, both women hiding some heavy baggage, and their interactions reveal layers of complexity. There's a rawness to their performances that feels genuine. The practical effects, when they show up, are surprisingly well done, adding to that gritty vibe. It’s not flashy, but it’s the subtle horror that resonates. The film also touches on themes of identity and fear, which is always interesting. It’s a pretty distinctive take on the genre without going too far into familiar territory.

Strong focus on character development.Effective use of practical effects.Themes of fear and identity explored.
