Torment (1990) is a traditional thriller that centers on a single protagonist's struggle for survival in a secluded setting. The narrative prioritizes suspense over exploring diverse identities. The film does not disrupt social hierarchies or explore characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity. Instead, it relies on established genre clichés without offering much in the way of social or cultural subversion.
