Review of Tormented

Tormented (1960)
5/10
Dropped the ball...or head.

Tormented could have been a very good horror movie....

When the "tormenting" begins, it's pretty creepy. The footprints in the sand, the record player, the photograph. But when the main character picks up the ghost's head and drops it down the stairs, it just kills the mood. It doesn't feel like a horror movie anymore, but a supernatural black comedy. Maybe it is supposed to be a black comedy?

It doesn't ruin the entire movie though. The plot is interesting enough, and you want to see how it ends. Too bad the about the ridiculous head scene...

But, it's still better than most of the crap they call horror movies these days. It's a short movie too, so if you're bored and got nothing else to do, grab yourself a bag of potato chips and watch Tormented.
