Movie Story
"Tormented", a sexy, scary high school horror movie that smells like teen spirit...with a hint of rotting flesh! From classrooms and cafeterias, to school ties and pool parties, teenage traumas full of promise, pimples and panic get a terrifying makeover as the best days of your lives become your worst nightmare.
Justine Fielding (Tuppence Middleton) is the gorgeous head girl of her plush suburban grammar school Fairview High. She has just won a place at Oxford University when In-Crowd hunk Alexis (Dimitri Leonidas) asks her out on a date.
All seems perfect.... except that Alexis and his circle of friends aren't quite as hip and glam as they seem. Underneath the clique's 'too cool for school veneer' lurks a pack of vicious peer pressure tormentors who find it vastly amusing to persistently tease anyone they consider worthless losers.
Their main target Darren Mullett (Calvin Dean) knows what his classmates did last summer. They bullied him to death. The overweight, asthmatic nerd was so relentlessly victimized by their cruel taunts, website intimidation and 'happy slapping' mobile phone recordings he committed suicide.
But death is not going to stop Darren finally finding the courage to stand up for himself. With nothing left to lose, he takes murderous revenge on his former classmates in increasingly brutal, bloody and imaginative ways. And the In-Crowd soon discover to their horror there is no point reasoning with a very angry zombie ghost.

Reader's Reviews

having looked forward to this film for some time, being an avid skins fan, reading reviews written this week i began to get a bit worried that between the bbc and slingshot, they'd managed to screw up what sounded like a good film. Now ok, i know its a been there done that genre, but rarely does the uk pull off the teen horror genre, or even for that matter uk horror as a whole. Yet this film makes me think otherwise. Generally, the acting is good from the young actors, of whom ive seen many before in films gone by, the lead bully for example, bradley (alex pettyfer) has been seen in stormbreaker, but sideinfo ASIDE, tormented is a funny film. Those after an out and out horror will be disappointed. At times though, the bullied, an unfortunate asthmatic child, does remind me of jigsaw with his both inventive and ruthless killings. Seeing it with my 15 year old girlfriend, i have to say she was scared, and perhaps, if the film hadnt put over the point that bullying is wrong, then maybe wouldve been rated higher (you only need to see the sexlaughter scene to understand). In all, a hugely enjoyable, if forgettable film, that will leave you feeling sorry for everyone and really not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the end of the film :) 4/5 ****

Great film; Laugh, shreek a bit and enjoy it. Reviews should have been a rave as it really pulls off the comedy-horror bit with a British accent

Brilliant, unless you don't like watching pencils slammed into someone's brain, or someone's head getting gored onto a spike, or watching a woman getting drowned. I loved it, but i doubt, unless you like that sort of thing, you will ;P

I laughed quite a bit. But mainly at the people who squirmed at the gory bits, which tbh, were really gory. But it was funny seeing everyones reaction. Good movie though, a ten film that manages to pull a bit of horror off, and has a bit of comedy on the side. But i found the film techniques they used in the film to be much more worthwhile to watch.
