Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Brea Grant’s Torn Hearts into the ol’ VCR. 

Boy howdy, if one of your guilty pleasures was Monarch like me, do I have a movie for you. Torn Hearts is centered around a female country duo trying to break into the big time and enlist the help of a disturbed diva. Think Norma Desmond but with more rhinestones and whiskey. Without being incredibly obvious, our two wannabe stars realize they’re in for much more than a collaboration.

First and foremost, why the hell haven’t we been putting Katey Sagal in horror content? Ryan Murphy, make it happen. Better yet, add Pamela Anderson into the fold as well. 

Secondly, the music in Torn Hearts SLAPS. I’m a big fan of 20th century country, and this movie delivers. Although it’s set in the present, the overall vibe screams 80s country. 

Thirdly, the names are incredible. Harper and Hope Dutch go by The Dutchess Sisters. I can tell you that I’d listen to them by name alone. Also, Torn Hearts is comprised of Jordan Wilder and Leigh Blackhouse. Those names SCREAM opening for Leann Rimes at the Houston Rodeo in the 90s. 

Lastly, the clothes. MY GOD. The fringe, the pleather, the rhinestones. The outfits on all the creepy mannequins throughout the house, including the ones in the basement shrine. It’s called fashion, sweaty. Look it up. 
Whether it was Brea Grant’s intention or not, Torn Hearts almost watches like Country Strong by way of Karyn Kusama. I’m a huge Brea Grant fan, so if you’ve enjoyed her other movies, you’ll enjoy Torn Hearts. Hell, if you haven’t enjoyed her other movies (idk how), I still think you’ll  enjoy Torn Hearts. I’ll even forgive Abby Quinn for starring in Knock at the Cabin.

Torn Hearts is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
