Torment (2008 Video)
1/10
Long, tedious and misleading
16 March 2008
For one thing, the clown on the cover is nothing like the sad case for a 'killer clown' in the movie.

The clown in the movie is sad, it looks like one of those drunk $2 an hour clowns that host children parties.

The scenes between the two protagonists are long an drawn out with many long silent shots focusing on their faces. I think this is filler as the whole movie could have effectively been filmed in 30 minutes.

The only ones to get more camera time are the cockroaches, yes normal little cockroaches, OK, we get it, the clown lives in a 'run down' place.

The plot devices seemed just to be placed for a one off event further down the track and were not really followed through in their entirety, such as Rays Alcoholism and a back story for the pathetic clown.

Final thoughts, if you are going to make an evil clown, please make him evil looking, evil acting, and not sad a sad little man in a $5 clown suit from Toys R Us.
