Directors: Simon Boyes, Adam Mason
Writers: Simon Boyes, Adam Mason
Hope and her young daughter are abducted and brought to a remote forest by a mysterious and nameless man. As Hope is forced to undergo a series of humiliating, violent, and degrading trials, she fights desperately to escape and discover the fate of her missing daughter.
'Truly disturbing feature from the team of Boyes/Mason whom with a reported budget of £500,000 and basically 3 core actors have managed to do what so many other multi million dollar horror movies fail to do, and that's deliver. It succeeds by working on a much more psychological level than its peers (films like Saw or Feed). Those films felt the need to explain their self whereas Broken just plays out the story in its grim almost unspoken brutal nature. It does have its flaws chiefly in how uneasy it makes you feel, its more a film you endure than enjoy and it forces you to ask yourself the the same question the abductor ask's and thats 'Will you go on?'. Not for everyone's tastes then, but if you can handle its nilistic approach one worth the view.
