Torn Hearts (2022)
Things are headed south in the horror/music drama Torn Hearts as a country music duo in Nashville seek out the private mansion of their idol, only to find out it isn’t quite the dream they imagined ….
The film stars Abby Quinn (Knock at the Cabin, Radium Girls) and Alexxis Lemire (The Half of It, Truth or Dare), with Golden Globe winner Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy’s Gemma Teller Morrow and Married with Children’s Peg Bundy) as former country legend Harper Dutch. Fright Meter Award nominee Shiloh Fernandez (The East, Evil Dead) and Sundance and Fangoria Chainsaw Award nominee Joshua Leonard (Unsane, The Blair Witch Project) co-star.
The film is exec-produced by three-time Oscar nominee Jason Blum, who’s brought us blockbusters like Get Out, The Purge, The Invisible Man, and BlacKkKlansman), directed by Emmy and Fangoria Chainsaw Award nominee Brea Grant (After Midnight) and written by Rachel Koller Croft, who was nominated for a 2023 Writers Guild of America Award for the film’s script.
Torn Hearts has an 89% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting saying the film, “combines country music’s frequent themes of love and loss with horror’s twisted pursuit of fame, delivering a mean thriller anchored by one playfully unhinged performance by Katey Sagal.”
