Tormented

I generally don't like young teens in horror films. Mostly, cause most writers can't write teen for sanskrit, and also even when they do get it right I'm old enough now not to generally give a fly fig newton bar for what a 15 year old considers earth shaking. Still, I'm an open minded fellow so I'll give a film like "Tormented," a chance.

The plot is simple enough. Fat kid gets bullied to suicide and then comes back for a little extreme justice. I think it helps that the kids were brits, it makes their school just alien enough from my own school memories that I watched with a bit more interested. I liked that the dead kid really did look like a loser, and STILL looked like a loser after death.

Still it dragged from in bits between the set pieces so I can't give it a hundred percent recommendation. I have to admit, being the sick jerk that I am, that I was amused watching a character with her hands cut off trying to call 911. Wrong I know. Anyway, it's a horror film neither outstanding or cringe worthy.
