Torment

So, this is a home-invasion movie with a weird theme about family, which lands it somewhere in between _The Strangers_, and _The Texas Chainsaw Massacre_. The production is good. The main draw is Katharine Isabelle, however it was Amy Forsyth who peaked my interest. Overall, I'd say the actors all did a great job. That being said, Peter DaCunha has the unenviable task of playing the annoying son; I think he could have dialed it back a few clicks, but not too bad. The movie is written in a way that would need a prequel or a sequel to tell us more about the killers. There is another movie called _Tormented_ - and the cover art is identical to this movie, like **identical** - but I don't think it's related. Really weird. Not amazing. Not bad. Just past the point of mediocrity. If you dig home-invasion horror, _Torment_ is worth at least one watch.

Not a terrible movie but awfully generic. If they ever get around to a sequel it might get a bit more creative but until then there are better home invasion flicks to watch.
