Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBased on the book of the same name by author Mo Hayder. The Treatment is the second volume in the series which follows English detective Jack Caffrey.
- GoofsFilm is not developed under a red light in a dark room, as shown. The chemicals are too sensitive to light, and exposing it to even a tiny bit of light will fog the picture. The film is placed in a light sealed canister, either under total darkness or using a special light sealed handling bag, that allows chemicals to be added and removed without exposing the film to light. Film paper onto which a picture has been projected is, however, developed as shown.

Featured review
Distressing movie with a top notch performance by the lead actor and suspense n tension throughout.
I first saw this in 2015 on a dvd. I am writing a review now without revisiting it.
The movie is very very distressing n doesn't require a second viewing.
I hate movies which depict violence towards kids and i can't even stand horror movies where they show onscreen kiddies' death scenes.
The only reason i am generous with the ratings cos it is a very well made film, specially the police investigation n its aided by a top notch acting by the lead actor.
The lead guy is so emotionally exposed on screen that we audiences also feel his turmoil.
The flashback story is poignant with a harrowing n ambiguous ending while the main story is very dark n distressing.
The only time i felt good n did phew was the scene where the lead cop keeps punching the pervert's face.
This movie will remind 8 mm, Prisoners, Bereavement.
