Reviews
"So while The Broken is little more than an old-fashioned campfire-style horror tale (which is usually good enough for me), the movie offers a few cool components that elevate it beyond typical genre fare. First and foremost is the director's crisp, clean and progressively more creepy visual style." -FEARnet
