Tormented (2011)

Japanese horror master Takashi Shimizu is back with his 2011 film "Tormented". Filmed in 3D, this movie is more about atmosphere and mood rather than plot or scares. It's a very beautiful film and the 3D effects are not distracting while watching on a non-3D format screen. The story is heavy influenced by the "Little Mermaid" and is directly referred to several times. The movie is worth watching but not if you are looking for something intricate or scary. Although the rabbit suit is unnerving at first....
