The story of The Tortured is put together well, with two really good actors, and a crisis of grief and retribution. As horror movies go it delivers the goods. I found exception with the ending. I just didn't see why they needed a twist. Maybe American audiences still demand a level of good guys don't become bad guys, for whatever reason, without consequences. I get that. I found the ending less food for thought though, and more sadness for tragedy. If you think about it, you could still achieve the same with, say, an escape, a double pursuit by the cops, and three wicked deaths or something. If they ever remake this movie I hope they consider going that way. You have to buy into a hell of a co-incidence and a hell of a circumstance to believe the ending of this movie the way it is.
