Director Sam Curtain ensures that a title like Beaten to Death delivers on what it promises with unrelenting violence and nihilism. Curtain’s bleak feature, co-written with Benjamin Jung-Clarke, puts its central character and the audience, by extension, through a gauntlet of torture, insanity, and desperation designed for maximum discomfort. Beaten to Death more than succeeds in its aim, making for an intense experience that’ll put you through the wringer.

Beaten to Death opens with Jack (Thomas Roach) getting pummeled to a near pulp by a much larger, angrier man (Justan Wagner) as a woman lays lifeless near the fray. Jack grabs a nearby bottle, breaks it, and violently gets the upper hand just in time to prevent his demise. Stranded in a rural area and devastated to discover his wife (Nicole Tudor) is indeed dead, Jack stumbles out to find help. However, Jack’s encounter with a neighbor,...
