The movie adaptations of the late Steig Larsson’s Millenium trilogy have become three of my personal favorite films.

0Torment picks up right after where Fallen leaves off, which finds Luce on her way to a brand new school. At the new school Luce is immediately introduced to a slew of new colorful characters, most of whom are Nephilim. A reluctant Luce is hesitant at first to make do in the new setting, but feeling as if she has no other choice, she slowly starts to open up to her new acquaintances.
Daniel and the rest of the fallen angel crew make their appearances in Torment as well, some of which more exciting than others. Some of our favorite angels from Fallen have some great roles in this saga. There is More >
