Actor Tom Sizemore, best known for complex tough-guy roles in such films as Saving Private Ryan and Natural Born Killers, died of complications of a brain aneurysm last March. However, he left behind several unreleased projects, the last of which, TRAUMA THERAPY PSYCHOSIS, arrived on VOD September 1. In the film, Sizemore plays himself as the host of a talk show.
Directed by Gary Barth from a script by David Josh Lawrence and Tom Malloy, who also stars, TRAUMA THERAPY PSYCHOSIS is a standalone sequel to 2019’s Trauma Therapy. The new film sees Malloy return as psychotic self-help guru Tobin Vance. With the authorities on his trail, Vance escapes to Scotland where he resumes his cult-like operation.
Writers Malloy and Lawrence explain, “The first Trauma Therapy, released in 2019, was a really fun exploration into the power that a self-help guru can have, and how, if he or she used that power in devious ways, the results could be extreme…
For the sequel, we had two goals: it would be a standalone film so people could just jump right in, and we wanted to amp up the danger and the suspense. The people involved in Trauma Therapy: Psychosis would face extreme challenges meant to break them – and all who failed would meet a devious end.”
TRAUMA THERAPY PSYCHOSIS is now available on DVD from Quiver Distribution. See Tom Sizemore in his final role in the trailer below.
