Tormented (2023) dives into that heavy atmosphere of teenage isolation and struggle, capturing the essence of a boy trapped between his chaotic home life and the odd bond he forms with a neighbor who's an outcast in their own right. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing for tension to build as their relationship unfolds, often in ways that feel uncomfortably relatable. The performances are raw and haunting, really digging into the emotional weight of their situations. There’s a notable use of practical effects here, which adds to the gritty realism rather than relying on digital distractions. The film explores themes of connection and the darker sides of friendship, making it a distinctive entry in the thriller genre, one that leaves quite an impression.
