Director: Sean Ellis
Screenplay: Sean Ellis
Production: France/UK
Year: 2008
Sub-genre tags: supernatural, thriller
Tagline: Face your fears
Logline: After a young woman sees her doppelgänger she suffers a car accident and amnesia and subsequently finds herself in an increasingly nightmarish and bewildering reality involving her family.
Core cast: Lena Headey (Gina), Richard Jenkins (John), Asier Newman (Daniel), Michelle Duncan (Kate), Melvil Poupaud (Stefan)
Memorable moments: Gina's car-crash, and her final revelation.
Curious Facts: The title is originally spelled as The Brøken, however there is no Norwegian or Danish relevance to this. The music played during the first half of the closing credits sounds a bit off because it's being played backwards.
Intensity levels:
Blood & gore: low
Fear factor and/or frights: medium
Likelihood of bad dreams (disturbing content): medium
Horrorphile’s two cents: A richly atmospheric movie that relies heavily on suspense and the creeping unknown ... The prowling camerawork and fantastic use of music and natural sounds that take on an other-worldly effect resonate terrifically.
