Broken

So when you're in a bad mood, what cheers you up? A disgusting, disturbing bloody movie? That's definitely what cheers me up.

My friend and I spent about an hour looking through a video rental place for that perfect "pick me up" movie. After discovering that they didn't have any of the movies we originally wanted (Inside, Martyrs, Frontiers) we found Broken. I'm the one that convinced her to rent it because it was a Dimension Extreme film, which means it has to be good, right? RIGHT?

Wrong.

I think this was one of the slowest horror movies I have ever seen. The movie is about this man who kidnaps women, puts them through a self-survival test, and if they pass he makes them his personal slave. The man lives in the middle of the woods in a tent and seems to be a naturalist. He kills his own meat, grows his own garden...etc. The women serve the purpose of doing these things for him.

I think this movie was put into the Dimension Extreme family because the few gory scenes in the movie were REALLY gory. To the point where I had to watch through my fingertips. But other than the maximum eight gory scenes, this movie was a bore. I had never even heard of it before I saw it in the video store even though it came out in 2006...But now I know why. This movie was much better left unwatched.
