Movie Summary


 Movie: Tormented: 

Two-timing jazz pianist Tom Stewart decides to drop his girlfriend Vi—from the top of a lighthouse, sort of by accident on purpose. Vi falls to her death and then becomes Miss Pesky Pants of the afterlife, haunting Tom and disrupting his wedding plans with his fiancée Meg. Vi continually chants, "Tom Stewart killed me!" Some guy who suspects Tom of foul play blackmails him, so a taunting visage of Vi provokes Tom into killing him. Unfortunately, the murder is witnessed by Meg's little sister, Sandy. When Tom discovers Sandy has seen the murder, he lures her to the top of the lighthouse and threatens her. Fortunately, what goes around comes around and when an enormous apparition of Vi suddenly looms before him, Tom falls into the rocky, crashing ocean below. Tom and Meg's wedding is postponed for the time being.

 Stinger: 

Vi's dismembered head chants, "Tom Stewart killed me!"


Reflections

You might notice that in Segment Five, Tom's head accidentally falls off, Joel puts it back on him, and the scene continues. When we wrote segment Three, each of us writers had at least half a million singers we wanted to see fall from the lighthouse, but only the best made it into the sketch.
