Watch The Broken For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fantastic!

Excellent but underrated film

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I wonder if Sean Ellis knew exactly what he wanted, the movie is very confusing and ends like that, unexplained what I just saw, who are the duplicates of the characters, are there really duplicates or everything is in the imagination of some of the characters, everything is unclear and chaotic.

The description given for the movie was essentially A woman suspects she has a doppelganger and all her family and friends are in on it. This led me to believe it'd be a fun movie, horror or drama or sci-fi, either paranormal, mental illness, or some manner of aliens.instead, we get virtually nothing for the first half hour or so except lots of mirrors breaking for seemingly no reason. Then the protagonist Gina sees herself in a car driving down the street, and follows it into a flat. The way the film is shot, it's hard to follow events or characters, so I hadn't even realized she had done all this until later on when she described it all. Then at some point she gets into a car accident and starts having memory problems afterwards.there are a few jumpscare moments, usually involving the mirrors, which are completely out of place with the tone of the rest of the movie, while Gina seeing a therapist about her memory loss, where she suddenly divulges that she thinks her boyfriend Stephan has been replaced with an imposter. Just as I squeal Capgras syndrome, the therapist suggests it might be Capgras syndrome. Except nothing is done with this potential diagnosis as a plot point. She gets an MRI and told it's almost impossible to properly diagnose it, then we suddenly jump to some blonde woman I hadn't even realized until then was in the beginning of the film as part of the surprise party. 58 minutes it took to get to the actual core of the movie's plot as described in the brief summary. And 58 minutes in it sprung a big horror scene that had me laughing at how absurd it looked. The blonde woman is confronted by a doppelganger of herself which reaches into her face, sticking her arm into the woman's mouth and somehow killing her in that way. From there, we get a whole lot of moody scenes, shots of broken glass and broken mirrors, and constant repetitive flashbacks which don't make any sense until later in the film where, around 1 hour and 10 minutes in, it suddenly takes on an "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" vibe, seeming to be going the route of that kind of adaptation before summarily giving it up.Then, we get the big reveal at the end that finally pieces together all the seemingly random scenes and flashbacks, after which the film seems to wan tot go back to its "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" vibe, but by now the movie's over and they've done next to nothing with the concept, new or rehashed. Ultimately it feels like the director didn't know what kind of movie to make, and kept trying out different styles and plot elements, never fully settling on one or the other, and ending up with this disconnect in tone slipping past the editing room and making this film.... not fully intact

Well, my streak of good movies has shattered into pieces, and yet the theme is the one that pinches my fear button (see my review for "Aliens are coming"). Thus, it's about our dear ones being changed by twin evil ones. Here, they come from outside the mirrors (as in Carpenter's "prince of darkness"). It's a solid idea that can be very scary but it needs also some stuff to grow the seed.Unfortunately, there's not such development here. The movie is already ultra short (90 minutes) and inside, it's pretty much empty: the scenes are deadly slow, there aren't much dialogs and at the end, it's dull and boring. Worse, the colors are pale, bleak so it's really depressing!The only things to give pulse, it's the London location (with the tube), the twist about the car crash and Lena Headey as she has indeed a strong talent and presence to carry the movie over her only shoulders.

A series of strange incidents and visions has a woman believing that a psychotic stranger is invading her life, only to discover that something far more sinister is happening and she races to get it controlled before it harms her.This here turned out to be slightly better than expected but was still a pretty flawed effort. One of the main problems here is the fact that there's just no explanation for what's going on here. So much of what's going on in here is glossed over in the story, from the very identity of what the strange identical beings are to what they're doing and what started their initial appearance, this one here just doesn't provide any answers at all as to what's going on here, leaving this one very confusing. As well, there's nothing about why the beings are murderous, since that only comes about in the very later stages and the majority of the running time we're given no reason at all to think this was a horror effort with the way they interact with everyone, since this one doesn't present them as ravenous beings at all, or even what they are, so the first half of this is about these strange beings that aren't too threatening not doing much so this is just an utterly boring effort overall. It does pick up in the last half with some pretty suspenseful sequences, including two very good sequences in a bathroom that provides two different outcomes, some bloody murders and even a chilling sequence in a darkened attic with a flashlight that has some good points to this, but it's all too little too late to save this from it's other flaws.Rated R: Language, Violence, Brief Nudity and a shadowy sex scene.
