TORMENT is a 1990 British thriller in which a pop star retreats to her property in the countryside, where she begins an affair with a local man.
violence
One man slashes another’s face with a knife, with strong bloody detail. There are strong scenes of strangulation, gunfire and stabbing, and we also see the bloodied corpse of a man whose throat was cut off screen.
language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘prick’, ‘slut’, ‘bitch’, ‘tart’, ‘screw’, ’toss’, ‘piss off’, ‘bastard’, ‘shit’, ‘sod’, ‘crap’ and ‘bloody hell’, in addition to infrequent use of the discriminatory term ‘queen’ and a self-directed use of the word ‘fairy’.
sex
There is a strong scene of sex featuring multiple sexual positions, breast and rear nudity, and light thrusting detail. Another scene briefly shows a man masturbating below frame. There are also moderate sex references, including a sexist reference to a woman as a ‘village bike’.
drugs
A man snorts lines of cocaine in close up. Several scenes show a pop star’s manipulative manager supplying her with unidentified pills, and in another scene we see a member of her entourage drugging her drink with a sedative without her knowledge.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A serial killer climbs into bed with a naked unconscious woman, without strong detail. In later scenes the woman kidnaps the killer and leaves him tied up for a long period of time, causing him to wet himself; on discovering this, she mocks him while cutting off his clothes with a knife and forcing him into a shower, with visible rear nudity.
