Torment (2013) - full transcript

Newlyweds Cory and Sarah Morgan take Cory's 7-year-old son Liam up to the country for some much needed family time. When it appears as if Liam has run away, psychological suspense becomes straight-out horror, as Sarah and Cory must now confront a sadistic cult-like family who have been hiding in the house all along and have taken Liam for themselves.

Bless us, o lord,
and these thy gifts

which we are about to receive

from thy bounty, through
Christ, our lord,

amen.

What the hell's wrong
with that dog?

I don't know. I'm in here with you.

Well, go check.

Duke!

- You forget how to eat?
- Lost my appetite.

Well, go find it somewhere else.

Table's meant for eating.



What the hell?

Maggie?

Shit.

What the...

I won!

The screaming contest champion

once again is dear old D-A-D.

I'm bad at that.

I've traveled for millions

and millions of miles,

and I'm very, very hungry.

Do you have any carrots?

- No.
- You don't?

How do you know that carrots
are good for your eyes?



Because you never see a
rabbit wearing glasses.

Bonk! All right.

Your turn.

- Are you done with this?
- Yes.

Are you sure? Going, going, gone.

Do you know what a rabbit's

favorite tent style is?

You call this a cabin?

Yeah, what would you call it?

Hmm, I don't know. A second home?

Okay, it's our second home.

Wakey, wakey, Boss. We're here.

- Don't go too far, Liam.
- Oh, he'll be fine.

- Aw, crap.
- Oh!

Hey. It's gonna be great.

I really hope so.

Okay.

You like?

Just relax, and I'll
get some dinner ready.

Why is it so hot in here?

The thermostat is cranked.

Don't sit there.

- Liam?
- She can't sit there.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay. Yes, you can.
Hey, we talked about this.

That isn't her chair!

Hey, Boss...

I'm sorry. Are you all right?
You can sit there.

Hey, Liam...

Shit!

Liam, I want you to
come back inside

and apologize to Sarah.

Did you hear me?

- That isn't her chair.
- It's everybody's chair.

It's mommy's chair.

I know things haven't
felt good lately.

And I'm not asking you
to forget about mommy.

I'm never gonna forget her.

But we can't change what happened.

All we can do

is choose what's going to happen.

Will you come back inside, please,

and apologize to Sarah?

She cares about you.

She deserves to be given a chance.

No.

Okay, fine. Then you can have your phone
back when you apologize to Sarah.

Cory?

What the hell?

Cory?

Sarah?

Jesus.

What is it?

What... what happened in here?

Nothing. Listen, stay with Sarah.

Don't let him out of your sight.
I gotta find how they got in.

Yeah. Why don't you
show me your room?

Happens more often than
people would like to admit.

Kids see a house boarded
up for the winter,

and they spend a week partying,
drinking, you name it.

Then they move on.

And there's no way
of catching them?

Nah, it's pretty rare,
unless the neighbors saw,

and they get a license plate,

but that's even rarer still.

But don't you dust
for fingerprints

or clothing fibers or something?

Not a "B and e," no.

You watch too much TV.

What about the blood?

Yeah, well,

we know at least one of
those drunken teenagers

was a female.

Anything missing?

I can't find my mouse.

What's that about a mouse,
there, young fella?

Oh, that's, um, that's
his stuffed mouse.

Don't worry, Boss. I'm sure it's
under the bed or something.

I looked under the bed.
He isn't there.

Well, I'm sorry, but, uh,

I can't file a report for
anything under $100.

You know what, buddy?

You should come up here more often.

Either that or hire somebody.

Get 'em to stop in
every once in awhile.

Mow the lawn. This really
didn't have to happen.

Yes, well, it's been a busy year.

Listen, uh,

this is gonna sound odd.

Um,

my wife... it's her
first time up here.

It's our first time
anywhere as a family.

- Newlyweds, huh?
- Yes. Just a few months ago,

and I really need
them to feel safe.

This is my card. That's
my personal number.

You give her that,
she'll feel safe.

Thank you very much.

Good.

Board up that door.

Turn on some lights. Your
family's gonna sleep fine.

All right. Thank you.

Why did you marry my dad?

Well...

Remember we talked about this?

You and your daddy and I?

Because your daddy loves me,

and I love him,

and we both love you,

very, very, very much.

Don't say that.

Why not?

I don't love you.

Hickory Dickory Dock,

the mouse went for a walk.

Mr. mouse!

Little rabbit, this
is little monkey,

Mr. Mouse and Piggly.

It's not safe to stay here.

Where are we going to go?

Home.

We just drove six hours.

We're not gonna let some dumb
teenagers ruin this for us.

Huh? What do you think?

It's just creepy.
People were in here.

I know, I know, I know.

Listen, I'll go to the Bronson's,

and I'll see if they saw anything,

and then we'll start over.

I'm trying. I am. I'm afraid
nothing's ever going to change,

- and, I just... I don't know.
- Okay.

Listen to me. Listen to me.

We're family,

and one day soon,

we're gonna make
this family bigger.

We're gonna make a new family,

and Liam is just gonna
have to deal with it.

Okay.

- Are you sulking?
- No.

I'm not sulking. I'm not sulking.

Which reminds me: Officer Hawkins

gave me his card to give to you.

- Wow.
- Yeah, so...

- If you get lonely while I'm out.
- Useful.

- Be right back.
- Hurry up!

I will.

The enemy is in my sights.

Kill confirmed.

The enemy is in my sights.

Kill confirmed.

Hello?

Jim?

Maggie?

Anybody home?

Liam?

Liam?

Are you done in the bathroom?

Do you love Sarah more
than you loved mommy?

No.

Not more,

just different.

Different how?

Well,

when two people really
love each other,

they want to become part
of the same family.

But sometimes the universe
has plans for us,

plans that we can't
even understand.

And sometimes, if
you're really lucky.

You get to meet somebody new,

and they want to become
part of your family too.

And it's not wrong

to want to let them in.

And I'll tell you something:

We're those lucky guys, Boss.

I feel like this isn't
our family anymore,

and it never will be.

Well,

just promise me you'll
give it a shot.

'Cause I think... Think
your mind's gonna change.

Okay?

- Promise?
- Yeah.

Yeah?

All right, let's go to bed.

Come on. Under the covers.

One, two, three!

All right, Boss,

sleep well.

What did they say?

They said it's nothing
to worry about.

The same thing happened
to them a few years back.

We just need to come
up here more often.

Come here.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

- Oh, shh!
- What? What?

- Shh! Liam.
- He's down the hall.

You can hear everything
in this house.

I gave him elephant tranquilizers.

He's not going to hear anything.

- The pediatric dose? Yes, okay.
- Yes.

Everything's gonna be
all right. I promise.

Cory? Cory.

Cory,

there's something in the hall.

Were you dreaming?

I was wide awake.

Well, I don't know.

Nothing down here.

Okay, I'm just going
to the bathroom.

Cory?

Liam?

Liam?

Liam!

Here, take this.

You go that way, I'll go this way.
We'll meet around back.

Liam?

Cory!

Cory!

What?

- Did you find Liam?
- No.

- Jesus, let's get you inside.
- Find Liam!

No, after I get you
inside. Come on.

He's never run away before.

Officer Hawkins,
this is Cory Morgan.

I think my son may be missing.

Can you call me back please?

Why isn't he picking up?

He'll call back.

Officer Hawkins?

Cory?

Officer Hawkins?

- Sarah, go back inside.
- Run! Run!

Run!

Come on, let's go!

Oh, my God!

Come on!

They took the phones! Let's go!

Check the landline!

What happened to Liam?

Oh, God!

Cory? It's dead!

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

We have to get help!

Keep going.

Keep going.

Okay.

There's enough furniture in
here to barricade the door.

And these windows are high enough,
no one's gonna be able to climb in.

- What are you talking about?
- You stay in here.

You don't make a sound.
You don't open the door...

- for anybody but me.
- Where are you going?

I'm going to the Bronson's
to see if I can get help.

- I'm coming with you!
- No, no, listen to me, all right?

I need to run, and your foot is
hurt. You stay here. Take this.

Barricade the door. Come here.

Barricade the door.

The enemy is in my sight.

Kill confirmed.

The enemy is in my sight.

- Liam?
- Kill confirmed.

The enemy is in my sight.

Kill confirmed.

The enemy is in my sight.

Kill confirmed.

Liam?

- The enemy is in my sight.
- Liam?

No! No!

Shit!

No.

No!

Who are you people?

Where's my son?

Round and round we
go, and as we...

Oh, my God!

Where's my son?!

Jesus!

Is he... is he your father?

Did he do this to you?

You don't have to let him do this.

I can help you.

Please, no. No, wait!

Wait!

Wait!

What do you want from me?

For you to be honest.

If anything's happened to my son,

so help me God, I will kill
every last one of you!

That's funny.

Help you, God?

There's no help.

If you've touched one
hair on his head, I...

Your son is already dead,

and it's all your fault.

No. No!

No.

Liam! Liam!

Start!

Start!

We want you to be honest.

About what?

You wanted this.

No, I didn't.

You wanted your son dead.

That's why you killed him.

You're... you're gonna pay

for destroying my family.

Funny again.

You're going to pay

for destroying your family.

For the father,

until he's honest.

Start.

Start. Please start.

What do you want?

Why do you want him?

Take him home.

This is his home!

This is his hell.

Why don't you take off the mask?

I know honesty.

If you didn't have a child,

he wouldn't have been taken.

If he wasn't taken,

you wouldn't be searching for him.

If you weren't searching for him,

you wouldn't be going
through this right now.

Tell me that thought
never crossed your mind.

Honestly.

As I thought.

Dad?

Liam.

Don't you touch him!

You leave him alone.
You leave him alone!

Dad, what's happening?

- Dad?!
- Nothing.

It's okay. It's okay, Liam.

No!

It's not.

You-you said he was dead.

He was,

every day he spent with you.

Hating him for putting you here.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Be honest with him.

Tell him you don't love him.

No.

No.

Honesty saves.

Make him believe it, or he dies.

No.

As you wish.

- Liam?
- Dad, what's going on?

Dad, they said you had
something to say.

I want to go home!

Dad...

I don't...

I don't like you.

What? Why?

Dad, no, please.
I'll be nice to Sarah.

Please, I promise!
I want to go home!

I don't love you anymore!

No, please!

No, please!

Dad, please help me!

Help me!

Little brother is now
a part of our family.

Cory?

Cory?

Fuck!

Fucking...

Cory!

You were always going to kill me.

Just like you killed these people.

No!

Cory?

Liam! Liam!

Liam, Liam. Come on,
we've got to go.

We've got to go right now. Come on.

Look, they made me say
those things to you.

They tortured me. They
made me lie to you.

Do you remember when we went
walking in the forest with mommy?

We got lost, but mommy said

that nighttime in the
forest is the safest time

because the bears go back to their
cubs, the deer to their doe.

Nighttime in the forest is a time for
returning to your family. Remember?

You've got to believe me.
Tell me that you believe me.

Good.

We've got to get out of here,
all right, Boss? Come on.

She said this was my new home.

Who said that?

Our little brother is home.

Our little brother
deserves better than you.

He deserves the father.

Stay away from our family?

Mary Bronson.

- What did they do to you?
- They saved me.

I was like a sister!

Sorry.

Come on! Let's go, now! Come on!

You stay here, all right?

Don't leave me!

No, listen to me, okay?
I'm gonna be right back.

You hide, and you stay right here.
Don't move. All right?

I love you.

Stay here. Hide.

I'm going to find Sarah.

Fuck you!

Sarah?

Cory?

- Sarah!
- Cory?

- Cory!
- What happened?

- Are you okay? What happened?
- I killed him!

Where's Liam?

He's all right. He's all right.

I love you.

Liam... Liam...

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad!

Shh, shh.

You run.

It's gonna be okay.

Run!

Hey.

You leave her alone.

Stop, please.

Let him go.

Stop. You can take me.
Let him go, please?

You're just a kid.

Give me the gun.

Let him go.

Please?

Run!

No. No!

Hey, stop!

Leave her alone!

Shit.

Sarah, where's dad at?

Dad saved us.

You're gonna be fine.

Mrs. Morgan, I'm so sorry
about your husband.

- We're ready to go.
- Okay.

- Where's Liam?
- I'll get him.

Is he good to go?

Yeah, he's good.

Okay, big guy. Come on,
let's get you out of here.

What's this?

In case you get cold.

We're still sweeping the area.

Last body?

We'll probably fish
it out downstream.

Did find this, though.

Psych ward at the hospitals
about to get busy.

They say it's going to be
weeks before he says a word.

What about her?

There's an army of child service
personnel waiting to talk to her

and find out what happened here.

Let the hospital deal
with this bullshit.

So, I'm gonna go out
on a limb and say

you probably haven't had a
burger and fries in a while.

What do you say we pick one
up on the way, my treat?

Okay.

That's why God invented the radio.

Son of a bitch.

Yeah, this is...

I knew you'd come for me.

They hurt our family.

We've got each other.

Families are forever.

Now we must find a new mother.

What about the father?

The father will be coming.
