Erika Christensen stars as a mother out for revenge in Twisted Pictures (Saw) first ever family film The Tortured. The film will have its world premiere  at the 11th Annual Film4 Frightfest film festival in London (Aug. 26-30).

Directed by Rob Lieberman (Fire in the Sky), The Tortured stars Christensen and Jesse Metcalfe as a young married couple out to punish the murderer (Bill Moseley) who abducted their son. The movie’s trailer was debuted at last year’s AFM convention in Los Angeles.

The film marks a return to horror for Christensen, who currently stars on NBC’s family drama “Parenthood.” The pretty 27-year-old starlet’s fright credits include the 2005 thriller Flightplan and 2002 teen obsession-thriller Swimfan.
