The Broken

About This Movie

The Broken, directed by Sean Ellis, is one of those films that lingers long after the credits roll. It dives into the psyche of a radiologist, played with a haunting fragility by Lena Headey, whose life unravels as she encounters her doppelgänger. It's got this creeping sense of dread, that gnaws at you with each twist. The atmosphere is thick, the pacing is deliberate but never drags, and there's a real art to how it builds tension. Practical effects add a raw edge to the horror, grounding the surreal aspects in a tangible reality. The film explores identity, paranoia, and the ties that bind us, which makes the whole experience quite unsettling in a thoughtful way.
