Hmm. The Broken is tricksy. The back-of-the-DVD blurb made it sound totally awesome and eery and like what a pyschological thriller should be. And then when it started I waited for the awesome eeriness to kick in and it just, well, didn’t. We even had a proper ‘film debrief’ discussion in an attempt to work out whether we’d missed anything, and we came to the conclusion that we hadn’t, and it was just the story that had massive gaping holes.
Essentially it’s a cross between Mirrors and Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, with some arty cinematography and a frenchman chucked in.
I get what they were trying to do, I think. But they failed.
