Tempus Tormentum

Capture. Torture. Kill. Repeat.

201881 min5.6 / 10

A relentless, nihilistic torture-game thriller that prioritizes sustained dread and visceral cruelty over narrative coherence or redemption.

A drifter passing through a small town is drugged by three masked psychopaths and forced into a bizarre game of cat and mouse. He is chased through a series of more and more bizarre events until, in the end, he finds that this evening of terror has lasting consequences. It’s a feel bad film, nasty and brutish, red in tooth and claw.
