This week's ReelShow Film of the Week is a little more obscure, and not one which you would expect me to pick... For one thing. It's a horror! And it's British...
TORMENTED, a sexy, scary high school horror movie that smells like teen
spiritwith 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 arent quite as hip and glam as they seem. Underneath
the cliques 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.
