Suicidal teen revenge drama Tormented arrives in cinemas today.

It’s the tale of Darren Mullet, an asthmatic lad seen as a target for his school’s bullies.

But when the popular types take their pranks one step too far, a terrible revenge is wreaked.

It’s a well-trod story path, so we thought we’d dig up some favourites…

The film: The Crow (1994)

The death: All poor old Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) wanted to do was live a happy, leather-clad life as a musician with wife-to-be Shelly.

Sadly, their romantic reverie is brutally interrupted one 'Devil's Night' when a group of thugs – the henchmen of local crime boss Top Dollar – break down their door, rape and murder Shelly and proceed to beat Eric nearly to death before chucking him out of his loft’s window.

To actual death.

The payback: Luckily for Eric, he’s led back from the dead by the titular bird, and becomes a righteous Goth-ish clown-faced agent of vengeance, picking off the gang one by one.

Most satisfying revenge moment: Draven tracks down knife-wielding killer Tin Tin (Laurence Mason) in a dark alleyway.

After a brief bout of hand-to-hand combat, Draven catches ones of Tin Tin’s knives, pins him to the wall with it, kills him, nicks his coat and leaves his calling card - a crow silhouette – painted with the dead man’s blood.
