Broken Streaming.
Movie Title: Broken Broken is available for streaming or downloading. |
I was watching the previews on the DVD for “Gloomy Sheep” when the trailer for “Broken” came on. In that week’s rentals I had a film called “Broken,” but it was an Indie film starring Heather Graham and Jeremy Sisto and not this film, which turns out to be another example of the torture porn dread film, albeit with pretensions. What is keen is that that both “Broken” films came out in 2006 and that apparently both have unprejudiced been released on DVD in the past month. This brings to mind the possibility that somebody would recommend the Heather Graham “Broken” and rent this one by mistake (Don’t laugh, I recommended the Academy Award winning “American Beauty” to a co-worker once and they went to the video store and picked up “American Pie” and could not figure out why anybody would give Jason Biggs and the gang the Oscar) . But the idea of people watching the foul “Broken” was enough to originate me check the other one out to glimpse how remarkable harm could be done to the psyche of some unsuspecting soul.

At the launch of the film a title card informs us that “The slave girl is reared in an atmosphere of fright.” The quote is from Harriet A. Jacobs (1813-1897), an American abolitionist who wrote the 1861 book “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.” Written and directed by the impress team of Simon Boyes and Adam Mason, this movie is about Hope (Nadja Heed), a woman who puts her young daughter to bed one night and wakes up trapped in a coffin-like box. We know from the opening scene of the film that whatever is about to happen to Hope has happened to another woman, who clearly has been pushed beyond her limits. Consequently, given the Jacobs quote the implication is that the title of this apprehension film has to do with a woman’s broken spirit. However, in the final analysis most of what gets broken here is physical rather than spiritual.
Hope is being held in the forest by a man (Eric Colvin), whose goal in dragging women out there is not to torture, rape, and slay them, but to support them pick up their minds factual to being his domestic slave (unless the tending the garden bit is supposed to reference “Candide” in some procedure I have not yet figured out) . So when his victims are required to consume a pointed stick to commence up an incision in their abdomens while paddle by the neck to a tree while balanced on a perch nailed several feet off the ground, it might involve blood (and sometimes guts), but it is not torture but a test. One of several as the man attempts to atomize Hope. But unlike previous victims, who have not worked out as the man has intended, Hope has something to hang on to: the possibility that her daughter is mild alive.

This is a outrageous budget film and if you go through the DVD’s special features you will earn out that Boyes and Mason came up with the script as something that they could afford to film: if you shoot in the forest you do not have to inconvenience about building sets and if one of you is married (at the time) to the lead actress that explains how you find somebody to get a movie like this when you are shooting outdoors in England during the winter. If the movie delivered more of what it promised, it would have gone over better with me, especially given that opening quote which set aside me in a particular frame of mind. “Broken” is different from most splatter flicks in that it takes residence over several weeks, which is appropriate to the psychological dimension. Objective do not examine to understand how this nut gets his victims out there in the first position, because that is not fragment of the game here.
For all of its shortcomings, the raze game of “Broken” is probably the best portion of the movie. What happens to Hope and the man, respectively, struck me as being different and quite possibly unusual for this type of genre, and I ended up rounding up on the movie because of that (usually the ending of a splatter flick is the weakest fraction, especially when they contrive some tiresome method for the killer to catch killed) . There are other decent parts of the film as well: the parts that are yell to revulse you in this movie do so, the cinematography does not peer low-budget, and there were several nice cuts to top-notch execute, so this is not a case of impartial wallowing in blood and gore. “Broken” is not the torture porn film its trailer makes it out to be, but there is enough here to recommend checking it out.
Dark, vicious, relentless, brutal, violent, sadistic, grueling, startling, bent, horrifying….some of my approved adjectives when attached to anxiety cinema. BROKEN encompasses all of that and then some. This is a vicious obscene budget affair based on a fair narrative, supposedly (I searched Wikipedia but couldn’t secure information on any true events) .
A woman wakes up trapped in a wooden box. Not clear how she got there, she’s fair there. Man, talk about freaky! After a day of inconceivable dread and frantic attempts, she breaks free only to realize she’s in the middle of the woods. Her sadistic captor is there waiting with one sick agenda–break her spirit. What follows next is a series of the most horrid tortures, some sick depravity that is incredibly hard to search for.
Yes, it makes SAW notice like HEEHAW. The harsh bloody events grate on your mind and turn your soul into shredded cheese. Brooootal.
This movie is extremely effective in pulling you in to this of vortex of isolation and unspeakable cruelty. It touches on the conclude of the prolonged desperation and victimization, Stockhom Syndrome kicking in.
FINAL GRADE 3.5 Stars
A big job by the director, however the extended brutality is run to offset many viewers. I subtracted 1 star due to the most ridiculous ending. Aloof a solid dose of sickness brought to us like only Dimension Uncouth can.
