Wonderful Movie

Thanks for the memories!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The Tortured is just another awful movie in the "torture porn" horror subgenre. It is NOT a horror movie; aside from the contemplation of pain, there is nothing scary about this lousy B-movie. It features a major plot twist which serves as the surprise ending, however, if you don't see this twist coming a mile away then your I.Q. must be around 50.Overall, the plot is familiar but it has a few holes, the setting is nice (Vermont), the cinematography is decent enough for a movie as bad as this, but that's where the praise ends. The acting has its faults, as neither protagonist really portrays themself as somebody anyone would identify with; we don't feel for them, and therefore we don't care what's happening to them, nor what they're doing. Additionally, their reactions to certain events don't feel genuine.This movie generated only one emotion for me, and that was total disgust. It possesses no redeeming qualities. Furthermore, I can't help but ask myself how anyone could actually like this and/or enjoy watching it. Sure, I've seen other movies with more needless and pointless violence, but that's beside the point. If the point of a movie is to entertain (last time I checked, it is), then "The Tortured" fails in every aspect. While it doesn't deserve a one out of ten, it gets no higher than a three from this horror-savvy reviewer. Skip it and watch something else; if you're a horror fan like me, you've likely seen junk like this before. There are hundreds of far better, real horror movies to sink your teeth into.

Somebody wanted to make a movie about two nice people torturing a guy to death, and this thing is what they came up with. There's nothing clever about The Tortured, and nothing in it is so over-the-top that you can at least admire this film for its audacity. It's just screaming and pain and nonsense. There's even a disemboweling sequence halfway through, but since that would have killed the victim with much of the film left to go, the film presents it as an hallucination so you can see it anyway. The hole-card ending is cut-rate Shamaylan. I haven't seen a film this bad in a long, long time. Two stars instead of one, though, because of the cast, which is far better than this awful little film deserves.

The movie grabbed my attention and for that, it at least gets a 5 out of 10. But is it really that good? For fans that love a nice little torture flick, this one does just that. The story flows really well from beginning to end.So the bad guy kidnaps a couples child and tortures him to death. The grieving couple in return kidnaps the bad guy and tortures him in return. Both the wife and husband agree to do this by the way willingly.What exactly does this accomplish by the way? I understand you feel a lot of pain grieving for your lost child, but to become a monster yourself and go through the same procedure as what the kidnapper did.....well, you are no better off than the kidnapper. I'm sorry to say.For pain and torture and for those that enjoy movies like this, you won't be disappointed.

I rated this movie a 6 out of 10 only because at some points it got boring but still watchable. The only reason it got some good points in it is because of the ending you will never see coming. This movie had a very slow and boring beginning. I didn't enjoy it much in the beginning. Gave it a couple more minutes and it started to pick up. Its a different type of torture movie. Shows the perfect type of movie for revenge. Good plot but could've have done some of the torture scenes better. Overall good movie with a great twist to the ending.Overall i believe anyone that enjoys a good torture movie would enjoy this. Also anyone that enjoys a good revenge movie would enjoy this movie also. Just give the movie a chance and wait for the ending with a great twist that you will never see coming.
