Fractured

I was advised to watch something called Fractured starring Sam Worthington, but I watched the wrong movie, and stumbled on this by mistake.

I do not like horror movies, so I would not usually have chose to watch this, but I enjoyed it a great deal.

It's very low budget, there are only 6 people in the cast and none of them are particularly well known (unless you watch your UK soaps) I only knew Louise Lytton from Eastenders.

It is creepy, the acting is good, has a good sense of atmosphere and moves at a decent pace, but what makes this movie for me was a twist in the middle of the movie, that A, I did not see coming and B, totally turned the movie on its head.

If you like your creepy horror movies and love a good twist, then check this out.

I was't expecting the twist in this story and it came as a welcome surprise just as I had almost given up on this tale. It is badly paced I think but also shows some original ideas, camerawork and editing. The biggest let down for me was April Pearson. Her body language is good and she acts well in all respects except the way she delivers her lines. It is always obvious to me that she is acting. I thought the same of her performances in Skins. Perhaps it's just me.. The rest of the cast were adequate but not really challenged in their roles. The movie has plenty of atmosphere and the twist makes it well worth watching.

I want to be a minimal with this as I can. The less you know? The better this film will be! Just trust me when I tell you...although the twist has been done here and there, it's VERY rare that you see it, and it's even more rare that it WORKS!

Just please, if you love horror...WATCH! You will appreciate it. I am not a serial killer/slasher/SCREAM type of horror fan, my thing is monsters...and I thought this was brilliant!!

When you see the twist, you're going to laugh and say "haha wow!" In a GOOD WAY!! And what's great? The twist is revealed not even half way into the film, and even once you get that "I got it!" Moment? The rest of the film is still GREAT!

This film can only be described as a puzzle, and the work it must've taken to craft this puzzle...RESPECT!!!

Just watch it, don't shut it off...and thank me later!

On paper this probably seemed like an amazing idea. On film it just drags.

There's a rather big twist, which initially I really liked. But it just outstayed its welcome until it lost its edge and any potency it might have had on the outcome. For a film only 1hr 15mins long it felt longer, and not in a good way.

And unfortunately, as is the norm for many horror / thrillers, the characters do many things that left me thinking 'why would you do that?' which breaks any sort of suspension of disbelief.

For a low budget effort this is fairly well acted and directed, which made it watchable, although its totally forgettable.

Good idea, original, that was executed well. Good acting, nicely shot, and well directed. Definitely worth a watch if you like dark thrillers.
