TORCH

Cinemavixion Review

Christopher Coppola's "Torch" plunges viewers into the humid, shadowed depths of the Belize jungle, a setting as treacherous as it is beautiful. The film follows Clara, a woman haunted by past trauma and seeking solace in her ancestral home, only to find herself ensnared in a web of deceit spun by her boyfriend, Gabriel. Lacey Dorn delivers a compelling performance, navigating Clara's journey from vulnerability to a dawning, terrifying awareness. Vincent Spano and John Savage provide formidable support, hinting at the darker undercurrents that permeate this ostensibly idyllic landscape. While the narrative treads familiar psychological thriller territory, the evocative cinematography and strong performances create an atmosphere of palpable dread. "Torch" serves as a potent reminder that sometimes, the most dangerous monsters reside not in the wilderness, but within the human heart.
