Rex Features

Charlie Sheen has reportedly signed on to star in a horror film from the makers of Saw.

The movie, previously known as Tortured, tells the story of a couple who are driven to the edge when their five-year-old son is taken by a paedophile.

They turn within and release their animal side when the justice system lets them down, reports Bloody-Disgusting.

The Twisted Pictures movie will be directed by Rob Lieberman from a script by Marek Posival.
