Tormented is directed by Jon Wright and written by Stephen Prentice. It stars Alex Pettyfer, Sophie Wu, April Pearson, Calvin Dean, Dimitri Leonidas and Tuppence Middleton. Music is by Paul Hartnoll and cinematography by Trevor Forrest.
A bullied teenager at Fairview High School takes his own life but appears to have come back from the dead to take revenge on his classmates.
I personally did not enjoy this film, the characters felt underdeveloped and unlikable and the plot was poorly written and predictable. I came into this film hoping for a charming British horror comedy reminiscent of Shaun of the dead but instead I got a soulless clone of a film. The characters where cheesy American stereotypes with the average jocks, nerds and sluts.
My main problem with the film was the fact that it achieved neither horror nor comedy. The characters where so out of touch and unlikable it was impossible to care whether they lived or died. In terms of comedy this film is poor as well it was almost like the jokes were written by someone at the CBBC and then they just added a in a few swearwords to make it seem more mature.
However i do feel that the special effects were done well for a low budget film and the deaths where gory and creative. And the plot, despite the fact that it was predictable was, at least easy to follow.
To conclude i would not recommend watching this film there are plenty of other films in this genre that do a much better jobs of both the horror and comedy aspects. So unless you are unbelievably bored please stay away from this film.
