Torn

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.

My wife and I loved watching Torn. The film does a great job showing the struggle that people have when trying to overcome an addition. The story line also does a really great job of bringing the towns folklore into the picture, making you question if what is really happening real or a delusion. And just when you think something is heading in one direction there is a twist awaiting it, leaving you on the edge of you seat wondering "What's going to happen next?".

The cast and crew really brought this story to life. Looking forward for more movies from Ryen William Thomas, I can't wait to see what is next!

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!

If you're looking for a mind-bending psychological film and a movie that will keep you at the edge of your seat, this is the film to add to your watchlist. From the beginning to the end you are questioning if the narrator is experiencing reality or a "delusion". It was an experience to go and explore the psyche of the protagonist and the demons he was facing.

The production of the movie stood out as every scene was shot with a purpose in mind, a purpose that would put all the pieces together as the move hits it climax. Look forward for more work from this production company. 10/10 will watch again.

I expected a supernatural thriller but found this to be a very serious and gripping treatment of a major social problem that films rarely attack head on. The protagonist turns out to be a very complex figure who is fighting a losing battle against his own demons. Some may take supernatural elements seriously; I took them as a metaphor. The ensemble cast was outstanding, full of classic southern figures, well-acted. And while the cast is diverse, race plays no part in the plot whatever. This is a serious film and no one will feel they wasted their time watching it, trust me. Highly recommended.
