About This Movie

So, 'Broken' is this really intriguing piece that blends horror and music in a way that’s pretty unsettling but fascinating. Directed by Peter Christopherson, it’s a visual companion to Nine Inch Nails’ 1992 EP. The whole vibe is dark and gritty, with a rawness that's unmistakable. The pacing feels disjointed at times, but that actually adds to the tension, you know? The practical effects are quite striking—definitely not for the faint of heart. Trent Reznor's involvement gives it an edge that mirrors the industrial sound of the band, making it a unique exploration of themes like pain and destruction. It’s not your typical short film, that's for sure.
