Rupture (Steven Shainberg, 2016)

Noomi Rapace is abducted after leaving her son at his dad's and her sinister captors perform cryptic tests and terror experiments on her, the eventual reason turning out to be that they're trying to convert her into them, the next stage in human evolution, which basically involves having spooky eyes and a skin fetish. Somehow, decent actors the likes of Peter Stormare and Lesley Manville were also duped to be on board and you cringe every time they open their mouths to utter more tripe. Perhaps least forgivably for something with the trappings of the sordid torture porn genre though, it isn't even frightening at any point. Any comparison made between this film and a pile of shit should justifiably result in a court victory for defamation of character by the aforementioned pile of shit.

2/10
