Shattering the myth of unwavering, unbreakable sisterhood (both literally and figuratively), Torn Hearts has a lot to say about age, identity, ambition, solidarity and the limits of feminist solidarity.

This is a really strong thriller about country music, ambition, and the Nashville scene.

If Torn Hearts had pushed itself a little harder, it could have ascended into camp heaven, and maybe become a cult classic. As it stands, it’s an unapologetically high-femme distraction that’s better than your average Lifetime thriller.

Rated: 2.5/4

Sagal throws herself into the role with such force that’s a wonder the screen doesn’t break.

Torn Hearts shows the dark side of country music excellently, with Katey Sagal’s character bringing a Baby Jane vibe.

Flickering Myth

Torn Hearts' unvarnished edges are largely smoothed over by a trio of stellar performances – especially a riotously go-for-broke Katey Sagal.

I was hoping for some trashy fun with this one, but I ended up bored silly. I couldn't grasp whether the filmmakers were trying to make a true horror film or a satire. Unfortunately, it jumps back and forth between both, never quite finding success on either side of the fence. And I was a bit surprised that the whole enterprise had a cheap quality to it - particularly with anything involving the younger Dutchess Sisters. The performances are also a mixed bag. Sagal is playing to the rafters in true satire mode; whereas Quinn, who is a fascinating mixture of Rachel Dratch and Sara Gilbert, seems to be playing it straight. Of the three leads, Lemire probably does the best job of bridging the two gaps. But I suppose the biggest sin of all is that it isn't scary in the slightest. In fact, I'd say it works better as a serio-comic look at the price people are willing to pay for fame than anything resembling a horror movie - psychological or otherwise.

A tad drawn out, and predictable. Great to see Katey Segal on the screen; need more of her gorgeous presence 🙌❤️

I'll be honest, the only reason I watched this movie is because I like Katey Sagal and she did not disappoint here. The movie itself was a bit weak (or maybe it was the bubblegum mediocre sound of Torn Hearts), but Katey brought the darkness and suspense that this movie needed. I also tip my hat to the set design and the colours used to bring it all to life.

Two bandmates meet their retired country star idol. When the idol offers to record a song with them, they will have to show how much they want it. Not much of a horror film. Far more of a thriller. Katey Segal and Quinn (A Knock at the Cabin) impress. It's about ambition and the dark side of the music industry.

A solid piece of suspenseful horror with country flare that is likely to exceed expectations.
