Empty

The Broken (2008)

Lena Headey stars in this British horror film from writer/direct Sean Ellis. Following a car crash a young radiologist starts having nightmares and mental problems, is she going nuts or is something more sinister happening?

This is a superbly directed film that really oozes tension showing off all the tricks of the trade, the problem is that is all you can say is good about this film. What little plot there is is fairly derivative, there is no real explanation for what happens in this invasion of the body snatchers lite effort which is a real shame as it shows a lot of promise. The characters ultimately have no depth or personality at all and merely exist to walk through the scary set pieces.

3/5
