What follows is a brief description of the contents of the movie.
In the prologue of the Broken movie, a criminal is hanged. The scene is rather surreal not
only in that hanging seems to be a strange choice as a means of execution, but even more so because the criminal's head is
torn straight off the body. The movie itself revolves around this criminal and his crime, consisting of the picking of the
victim, torture, the murder itself and ultimately the discovery of the body. All of the violence is extremely graphic and
rather realistic, and the bad quality of the video, contributes to the suspension of disbelief, initially giving the viewer
the impression that he may have stumbled upon an actual snuff movie.
The murder story is interwoven with Nine Inch Nails videos, one of which is at least as disturbing
as the story in its depiction of what seems to be a ritual suicide. Some of them are official videos as shown on popular music
channels, while others (such as Gave Up, the climax of the murder) were made exclusively for this movie. In short, it's definitely
a must see for avid NIN fans with a taste for the morbid and probably a rather enjoyable experience for anyone who enjoys
horror movies.
