Reviews:
“In Grave Torture there are several scenes that will likely stick with you. Some due to the brutality shown, others for the questions (and answers) given in the story. And then there’s a scene where someone utters the last words “Good luck!” Not often are the words “Good luck” as ominous as they are in that scene And without spoiling anything for you, I feel it’s fair to disclose that this scene leads into the final act, which is brutal.” ★★★ Heaven of Horror
“Although the movie starts off strong with a determined protagonist out to prove something scientific, we end Grave Torture with the same old cliched horror movie tropes and themes that don’t seem to let go of us. In spite of promising us something thought-provoking and noteworthy at first, there is something sorely missing from the psychological aspects of the movie.” ★★½ Leisure Byte
“This one has a more focused approach in an attempt to understand the connection between an incident and a recording. It has the expected shock moments, which are effective and give us the shock we need and use the effects team well. The body horror moments feel extreme, with one certain death being surprising” Movie Reviews 101
