The very final film of the late, great Tom Sizemore (Heat, Saving Private Ryan), Trauma Therapy 2: Psychosis, is coming to theaters, digital, and On Demand this September from Quiver Distribution.
Directed by Lawrie Brewster and written by Tom Malloy and David Josh Lawrence, the film is a sequel to 2019’s Trauma Therapy. It sees Malloy return as Tobin Vance, a notorious self-help guru who has been exiled overseas. As the feds move in on his US operation, Vance is building a new base in the remote outskirts of Kirkcaldy, Scotland. There, his stoic assistant Elizabeth (Hannah New), along with former student John (David Josh Lawrence), recruit a hopeful new group of lost souls for an intensive retreat to solve their deep-seated problems.
The film also stars Pirates of the Caribbean’s Vince Lozano, Jamie Scott Gordon, Gordon Holliday, and Megan Tremethick. Sizemore appears as himself, the host of a Larry King-like TV talk show.
“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.” Says Malloy and Lawrence.
“We were inspired by the likes of Tony Robbins and how he would make his weekend retreat participants walk on coals.”
Trauma Therapy: Psychosis takes the intensity and suspense up to 11 on September 1, 2023. If you missed the first film, you can find it now on AppleTV.
