· “Shocking, compelling… intense...”
Thom Hartmann, Air America Radio · “You’ve got to see this film!” Mike Malloy, Mike Malloy Radio, Sirius/XM, KTLK, Etc… * "Y'all in the mood for some war-horror after Tarantino's INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS?

Phillip Hearnshaw, 'Babe', 'Happy Feet 1&2' * “A riveting film… Great performances!” James Seale – Director, “Throttle” and “Juncture” * “Excellent!” Laurie Walters, Ironweed Films * “I can't get it out of my mind. It really stays with you. It was incredible. By far the best film (at the AFM 2008).” Charlie Fagin – American Film Market, Projectionist * “Extremely Powerful!” Ban Bessie, Producer “Executive Action” (Burt Lancaster, Will Geer) * “An important film” Linda Zises, WBAI, New York, Women on Film * “About time.” An Army Wife The film that will put BUSH BEHIND BARS! A “Military Interrogator” returns from Iraq with Acute Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). "The Torturer", A Terrifying New Thriller Starring Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura, Star Trek!) It's not just out to scare you, but scare you it will. "The Torturer" is not straight horror, nor is it yet another popcorn thriller. It is sheer terror, a modern film-noir nightmare that just might grab you while you're safe in bed, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Watch out. This film packs a hefty emotional punch, plenty of plot twists, and a true shocker ending. That the film is billed as a political thriller, with the emphasis on thriller, appears to be accurate. The violence in "The Torturer" is not gratuitous as is the violence in some other recent shockers. Even so, 'fear-up-harsh', sexual humiliation, and other 'creative' interrogations play their part. If you like to be shocked, scared, and perplexed, check out this daring new indie thriller. And prepare to be afraid. The Torturer will come after you when you least expect it. Note: This film details the torture policies of the Bush administration (some of which remain in place), in an exciting and compelling manner more accessible to the mainstream audience we need to enlighten and engage.
