One of my all time favorites.

As Good As It Gets

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This has got to be the worst film I have ever seen. The acting is very wooden (even if the lead lady looks like Ali Larter) The script is very very thin. I cant believe how bad this film actually is. The only good bit in the film is where the killer rips out the tongue of a Mormon. There are even moments in the film where the lead actor looks into the camera as if looking for inspiration. It must of been very cheap to make with only 3 of the actors (out of 7) actually speaking. I wish I had known how bad it was would of saved over an hour of my life by not watching it. I have seen enough films in my life and cannot believe int his day and age, and with such great writers out there that they still release trash like this.

I knew it was going to be good! Even before watching it. I highly recommend this movie if you like b-movies with a bite to it. The director does intelligent low budget films. He orchestrated a highly atmospheric and offbeat horror film. The whole cast is just fine. Suzi Lorraine is simply beautiful and good actress. Ted Alderman delivers a nice performance in a very good scene in this film. Grisly deaths --especially the tongue (look for it!)--, and spooky atmosphere.There's nobody to hear you scream here except your killer--and this one is a crazy demented serial killer with a clown costume. --Now. I want to see Steve Sessions doing a more complex movie, something like Deep Red. A puzzle movie. He sure can do it!

Solid cast in this Steve Sessions chiller. Sessions always had the talent to create a moody score, and creepy scenes. He does it again. The camera work is really good here. The scene where the clown catch the lead actress is very well done. I definitely enjoyed the acting of every actors. Suzi Lorraine turns in one of her best performances as Lauren. The lead actor was likable. Cinematography and lighting are used to good effect. Haunting music, decent bodycount and the bloody victims did a good acting job! Very intense death scenes! Torture type scenes. I liked the creepy atmosphere of the "middle of nowhere location" and found the story and it's surprise ending very satisfying. Creepy! Like every Sessions' movies.

The Plot: A mentally unstable woman who, along with her husband, takes a weekend retreat to a cabin deep in the woods. Soon, the woman begins seeing a mass murderer dressed in a clown suit prowling around the area. Her husband, thinking it is caused by stress, doesn't believe her until the body count begins to pile up. But the maniac is all too real and the woman is plunged into a nightmare which there may be no escape from.My Thoughts: Steve Sessions takes a micro-budget stab at the whole "torture-porn" phenomenon started by Eli Roth's "Hostel". While certainly not a brutal as that film, "Torment" actually doesn't focus primarily on grossing the audience out. Don't get me wrong, there are pretty gruesome tongue ripping and hand dismemberment scenes, the story is pretty much standard slasher material.The performances from the cast are convincing, the pacing is pretty tight, and the special effects are very good.Final Thoughts: Rent it whenever it comes out. Slasher and micro-budget horror fans will not be disappointed.
