ReBroken

ReBroken tells the story of a man who is suffering grief and is spiraling out of control, and his grief counseling sessions which appear to have nefarious intentions.

I watched this movie for the same reason most people probably will- the incomparable Tobin Bell. However I left thinking why on earth would he agree to do this one? The story is cliche to no end (If I have to hear about following 'the path' one more time..) We are either in group therapy or at his home . No mention of a job or other activities to make this story feel alive. It is very psychological but not in a way that was interesting to me.

I typically don't go too hard on low budget films cause the act of getting a film made is so difficult. This site has many amazing reviews of this film. If you look they come from accounts that have either only reviewed this movie, or this movie and "the path " which also stars this movie's lead. It is deceitful and that isn't fair to dup people. Know what your getting: A cheap, cliche ridden drama with uneven acting and minimal suspense. It is a pass.

So glad I found this movie. I watched this movie for Tobin Bell and was treated to a first rate thriller that was really an original. Grief, alcoholism, therapy and a missing daughter all made for an entertaining puzzle that I didn't see coming. Great performances lead by Scott Hamm Duenas and of course the great Tobin Bell. I really liked the story and the pacing as they didn't rush things. You try and try to figure out what's going on but never really can until of course the end where they tie it up nicely. Kudos to this film for keeping me guessing and interested for the entire 90 minutes. A solid 8 out of 10 for me.

Going into this, I was hoping for an atmospheric, supernatural/ghost movie. It had been classified as a Horror movie in some forums, and being a sucker for that kind of thing I dived in. But classifying this movie is like trying to keep eels in a bucket. At it's core, it is a study in grief, loss and addiction, and for that it has a slight horror element. But the only real scary thing going on here is the all to familiar decline of a previously decent guy, through no real fault of his own {sort of} The acting is superb throughout, and the story slowly unravels its layers. It is not a movie for thrill seekers and gore hounds. It is a slow paced, thoughtful and absorbing film, and the pay off at the end is, perhaps a little predictable, but no less powerful.

ReBroken is a great. It's one of those things I don't think I'd want to tell you too much about, in fear of spoiling everything about it. There's definitely more than meets the eye in this film, and what really keeps the intrigue going is the editing. Tobin Bell (Saw) is also in the film, portraying a smaller, yet vital role as a mysterious homeless man on the outskirts of town. It's amazing how small his roles can sometimes be, and yet still be something that's hard to forget.

Scott Hamm plays the grieving father in this film, and it's a combination of his own performance and the repetition of the editing that really helps sell the idea of what he's personally going through. He wants out of that cycle - and therapy isn't helping. So, he's considering alternative "cures", so to speak.

Definitely check it out. I found the entire film to be a lot of fun overall.

What a great watch! It's a thriller that actually pulls pulls off some misdirection. It truly is captivating film that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. This film masterfully weaves together complex themes of love, loss, and redemption in a way that is both heartfelt and inspiring. Overall, "ReBroken" is a must-see film that is sure to leave a lasting impression on audiences. It is a powerful, emotional journey that will leave viewers feeling inspired, uplifted, and grateful for the precious gift of life. It's a fun watch if you just want something entertaining and fun!
