Fractured

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.

If you're a fan of home invasion movies then this one is for you!

Actually, even if you're not a fan of home invasion movies you may still want to check this one out because it's... a little different.

I can't think of anything I didn't like about it. The acting is very good, creepy isolated location, the camera work is fantastic and it's very suspenseful!

Fractured follows Rebecca and Michael on their journey to a cottage in the countryside. It all starts out as a romantic weekend trip, but then you know how these kind of movies go...

I was very pleasantly surprised by "Fractured"... and I gotta say that I don't understand why it has such low average ratings. It's quite "pure" in its simple setup and its focus on just two people. The camerawork is great, and so is the acting. Overall, the movie is quite suspenseful, with some true nail-biters.

If you are a gorehound, you may not like this movie as there's relatively little on-screen violence. It's more about the wittiness and the psychology. I'd recommend this to anybody who liked such home invasion movies as "Hush" or "You're next".

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.

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