Definitely underrated

This is another movie that is much better than the IMDB rating would make you think. Just finished watching and, while it wasn't outright scary, it had a nice level of tension and definitely ended on a creepy note.

The best thing about the movie to me: the protagonist did not make stupid decision after stupid decision like sooooo many horror movies. It started out looking like she might be useless, then turned the corner nicely.

The movie wasn't perfect -- for example, the twist is a little obvious -- but overall was a pleasure to stumble across. Considering that it's a no-budget indie, the writer and director did a good job, and I can't wait to see more work from that team.

I felt like it needed to be much more interesting. Terrorize the baby sitter and off some cops. Snoozer. I am personally glad however that it didn't turn into torture porn as the masks and "Tormented" title may suggest. Didn't want it to go that route unless it was going to really have a purpose for it. The girl did a decent job and there was enough production value so I gave it a 4.
