That was an excellent one.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Pretty well done for an indie production, the film looks good, has some creepy set pieces (I don't know if I ever want to eat "the other white meat" again, and the main actress turns in a believable performance. There are a few moments when you want to yell at the screen "DON'T GO THERE!" or "CALL FOR BACKUP AND TAKE YOUR GUN OUT!" but that's the fun with genre pictures such as this. Reminded me a lot of the slasher film classics I grew up on. That said there's a brain behind the thrills, the script has fun playing with the archetypes of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, as well as turning the Three Little Pigs story on it's head (in this one the pigs are not the ones you're rooting for!) and you find yourself invested in the main character persevering. By the time she starts fighting back you're ready for some ass-kicking, the gorier the better, and Tormented does not disappoint. The ending is pretty over the top and made me laugh, but then again Michael Meyers and Jason Voorhees pretty much were superhuman killing demons so it all makes for a fun experience reminiscent of those types of films. Worth checking out if you enjoy horror and a strong female character!

It did have elements of already released (and some very old)thrillers/horrors like the purge, vacancy and others so nothing new. looking past some obvious blunders and somethings that didn't make any sense, I took it for what it was, a low budget horror. I must admit that I actually enjoyed the movie however that was until the last 5 minutes. What a shame, it went from a solid 6 out of 10 to a 3, maybe the writers were thinking of making a sequel. The acting wasn't to bad, the story as mentioned above has been done to death. some really poor writing pops up every now and then(some characters decisions at times are retarded). All in all it was a movie that had potential a pity about the ending what a waste.

This is a rather conventional home invasion horror story that fans of the genre will find familiar.As horror goes, this has some thrills. The villains are scary, as is their pursuit of the inhabitants. And the house itself is a star, with rooms that are very visual and a plethora of corridors and hiding places. The lead character evolves from mousy and helpless to develop the grit to fight back.The story follows a well-trodden path with a facade of originality. It gives no motivation to the villains, who take tremendous risks for little benefit. Law enforcement is laughably incompetent. Parents are predictably clueless. The kills aren't very gruesome and lack intensity and catharsis. Twists are predictable and unimpactful.The story finishes predictably and satisfyingly enough--it's a journey, not a destination. But then, as if the filmmakers decided they wished they made the movie very differently, a whole separate scene is tacked onto the end that is completely over the top. Apparently the film found itself with an overabundance of casting extras and gory makeup to use up. Maybe the filmmakers are auditioning for a sequel.

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERSBerkshire County is a true gem of the horror genre for telling a story that goes above and beyond the classic fear and survival themes into a much deeper tale of self-discovery and coming-of-age. The directing, writing, and acting all come together to pull off a tour-de-force of suspense, drama, and even some comedy along the way. The imagery sprinkled throughout the film depicts a world where everyone has a mask and no one shows their true colors until forced to. It is fitting that the first scene finds our heroine, Kylie Winters attending a pre-Halloween party dressed as Little Red Riding Hood, only to be tricked by the big bad boyfriend Marcus, who ruins her reputation by filming her in an uncompromising position and shares the video with fellow classmates. From here on out, the name of the game is that no one is truly what they appear to be. Kylie is not the weak flower she appears to be, Marcus is not the cocky confident jock he wants people to think he is, and even our villains are not everything they seem to be. After Kylie agrees to babysit two young children while their parents go to a Halloween party, she is given the tour of a country villa mansion. The choice to walk her through this mansion, describing every inch of it was a great touch, helping the house itself become a creepy and dominating character in the story. Every room has a sense of meaning, from the children's play room with depictions of fantastical imagery and imagination to the pure white minimalist living room that later becomes a tomb-like kill room, we see an interesting juxtaposition of life and death and all the characters stuck in between, trying to balance the scales in their favor after a family of what appears to be pork butchers attempts a home invasion in the guise of trick-or-treaters wearing life-like pig masks. Kylie reacts to the break-in by curling up into an almost fetal position, calling for help through an operator who becomes her crutch throughout the film. But it is not the crutch Kylie needs to survive, nor is it police, but her own sense of self-reliance that will be her saving grace. Kylie attempts to use the help of her now ex-boyfriend Marcus who under his tough exterior becomes a fearful coward. We see this surprising play against stereotype throughout the film and it is refreshing! What is interesting about our villains is the expectation that we are going to see some disfigured hillbilly inbred family underneath the masks, but instead find relatively normal looking people. Which hearkens to another great theme of the movie: Evil is often hiding in plain sight. Those who look confident in this world are actually fearful, those who look normal are abnormal, and those who seem weak turn out to be the strongest. By the end of the film, Kylie is faced down with wolf who she thought was a grandmother, only in this version of the tale, there is no Huntsman to save her. She sheds the weak and delicate "cloak" of Little Red and becomes a wolf in her own right. To watch this transformation on screen is a visceral experience not to missed.
