After the death of his mother, young Liam Morgan is finding it hard to accept that his father, Cory, has remarried and shows resentment towards his new stepmother, Sarah. They make the decision go and spend some time away at their summer home in the hope that the time together will help Liam come to terms with the new situation, and for him and Sarah to become closer. However, what was planned as a hopeful family vacation turns into a nightmare when they are stalked by a crazed family and find out that Liam has gone missing. When Cory finds out that the group intends to take Liam as one of their own, he resorts to anything he can to take back his family.
Torment was a bit of a mixed bag in all honesty, unfortunately most of it pretty boring and not all that good. The film has actually got a Strangers/You're Next kind of feel to it as well....just not as good though. The film starts off pretty well, building up what seemed to be quite a decent story, but it kind of fell away when it got to a certain point. From there on in, it got a bit silly and quite nonsensical in the decisions that Cory or Sarah started to make. I know you don't really watch a film like this for realism, but still some of the decisions were a bit ridiculous i.e. firing a flare gun when trying to avoid detection from the "bad guys".
Another unfortunate thing was the decision for the masks that the intruders wore. You look at the picture for the film cover and think "maybe it has a different effect in the film", but nope....it's actually still amusing to see a 6ft 3 man wearing a mouse mask like that. In fact, judging by what we see of the main intruders face, he probably would have been scarier to keep the mask off. Tie that off with some poor acting and there is really not that much you can find that is all that good about this movie.
Not a movie to avoid at all costs, but definitely not a classic by any stretch of the imagination.
