Torn

I felt inclined to leave a review because I'm not typically into psychological thrillers but this one was great! There was a perfect amount of suspense and twists and turns that I did not expect. I found myself wondering what was real vs what the lead character was imagining! The make up was great and very realistic. I was really by the acting overall! I found some of the characters to be genuinely funny, and it helped to lighten the overall mood of the movie. Very well done - would certainly recommend to those who love psychological thrillers, and even those who don't! You will likely be surprised!

I'm a big fan of psychological thrillers, and "Torn" will keep you at the engaged from the beginning to the end of the film. "Torn"does not disappoint whatsoever. The pacing of this film is perfect. From the actors to the production staff, you can tell everyone involved was on one accord. I'm no directing expert but I found it to be outstanding. The excellent use of lighting, the camera viewpoints and the acting is an absolute delight for any film enthusiast to watch. This is a must see film, again, I'm a great fan of thriller/horror films and this is one of the best. The acting is excellent and the storyline is superb. Definitely recommend to watch again, and again and again.

The film was a sheer delight! Packed with entertainment and humor, it managed to strike a chord on a profound level due to its compelling moral and message. The storyline was not just engaging but also thought-provoking, leaving a deep impact that stayed with me. The cast's chemistry was palpable, making the characters relatable and endearing. The witty dialogues between the actors resonated with real-life experiences, making the characters feel like old friends. The film's technical aspects, from cinematography to special effects, were astonishingly realistic, immersing me completely into its world. The music and sound effects added depth, enhancing the overall cinematic experience. It was more than just a movie; it was a transformative journey that left me entertained, enlightened, and profoundly moved.

If you are like me, it's difficult to find original films in a world filled with big budget safe formulaic movies. Torn is a rare gem that is a thought provoking psychological thriller worth investing your time. This movie proves low budget does not mean low quality. Actor/writer Jordon Alexander gives an award worthy performance along side a stellar cast. Whether you are considering buying a ticket to see Torn at your local theater or heading to a showing at the local film festival circuit, be sure to arrive early and get good seats! Two thumbs way up! Looking forward to seeing more from director Ryen William Thomas!

Went in completely blind and was pleased to discover a psychological piece that introduces increasingly more doubt about the intentions (and perception/sanity) of multiple characters while leaving just enough crumbs to reward an attentive viewer.

The visuals during the front end + daytime scenes are very realistic, setting the stage for convincing slips in and out of surreal/supernatural elements. Even greater support for these elements is established by Alfonso Freeman as Sheriff Lewis--whose entrance into the film (for me) got the intrigue rolling and provided gravitas across the runtime-- and Danny Vinson's performance as "Crazy Ned" Bowers. The latter is so compelling that viewers can't write off the questions that allow this film to walk a captivating line between genres.

All in all, without giving too much away, this film has a lot to say about credibility and recovery--particularly the limitations + agony of trying to pull ourselves out of the gutter in solitude-- with some surreal twists. Highly recommended for viewers that want a more intimate experience requiring careful attention. It ain't what ya think!
