SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

n0rmnbates oh my god... i am a huge fan of nine inch nails, and have always wanted to see this... and i finally have, and nothing has ever left me more disturbed... after watching it, i felt very uncomfortable, and it got to me in a way nothing else ever has... genuinely frightening... i would love to see NIN do more stuff like this... maybe a WITH_TEETH movie???.... but nothing could be as scary as this movie... i don't think I've ever seen anything this scary... the torture scenes are brutally honest and will leave you breathless and wanting to wrap your arms around the person you love more than anything and keep them there forever... clearly inspired by the olden days Texas Chainsaw Massacre-esquire style and story and clearly influenced other simmilarly themed movies like House of 1000 Corpses... very very scary....

krazykat101 As a NIN fan, I found this little film very enjoyable but disappointing on the violence factor. The Happiness in Slavery video and the end were pretty good, but could have been way more disgusting and disturbing. Everyone is raving like its the sickest thing ever made. Hey maybe I just have a stronger stomach ^_^Worth finding. Movie: 7/10 Would be 10/10 if they spared a little extra fake blood oozing everywhere and thrown in some more sexual imagery.

BlackBalloon Broken may not be incredibly faky compared to many gore films (like, say, Mary Poppins) but check out the body being sawed in half scene... Obviously not real. Now, we all know the people out there who think this is real are idiots, but my point is even appreciating it on an artistic level, it is not that impressive. No masterpiece here, just a buncha sick freaks putting together a film they are understandably ashamed of. The blood-gushing-from-castration scene is incredibly unrealistic... Don't waste your money or your time looking for this, go see Spy Kids 2 instead.

andy-227 After I saw NIN's two tape set "Closure", and listened to their music, I became a fan of NIN(Nine Inch Nails). After viewing almost all of their videos(including the almost unwatchable "Happiness in Slavery"), I came across "Broken", a 20 minute music video compilation that included a couple of the videos from the tape set and a new, too graphic to be released one. To me, it was the last video left, and I had to see it. Trent Reznor's demented, yet artistic genius is fully captured within the 20 minutes of music and really graphic violence and gore. I rented "Faces of Death" some time ago, and found myself laughing at how stupid it was. It was so obviously fake and it failed to have any emotional effect on me whatsoever. Movies with gore or violence fail to deeply disturb me, although they can bother me a little. "Broken" on the other hand, has some of the most shocking footage that I think I've ever seen. It didn't bother me a whole lot, since I already saw "Happiness in Slavery", and since it was "so bad that it was never released", I had an idea of what to expect, which prepared me for it I guess. I won't go into the details of what's in the movie, only that it's not for the faint hearted. Trent Reznor's dark vision is designed to disturb and shock, yet it has a strange kinetic effect when combined with the music. I thought it was silly to not release it, since they already released "Happiness in Slavery" on tape. "Broken" can't be any worse, since it has "Wish" and "Happiness in Slavery" in it. However, it is bootlegged and is available on the internet, which is where I saw it, so it's not totally out of reach. This is definitely for die hard NIN fans and for people who want something that will truly shock them for the first time in their lives.
