Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

steinrex Overall, Fractured had an amazing premise. However, I would have liked to see the protagonist hold more traits from the other 3 women characters – since all are facets of herself…The story contained a few plot holes…it seemed as though the movie was cut severely from it's original time code, probably to serve a distributer, producer etc. I would like to see it in it's initial state. I thought the characters of May, Gina, Barbara and Dr. Ballard were great. May seemed highly distraught throughout & wasn't overacting, Gina constructed a wonderful antagonist (I wouldn't allow that women in my house), Barbara was beautifully creepy and Eric was excellent - all suspended my disbelief. This director has a Hitchcock vibe. He's an autuer in the making. I'd like to see him really push this tone full force in his next thriller films - even though this strays from what is currently popular...

quincytheodore There are probably two appeals Fractured has to lure audience; the comedy and eye candy. It is amazing how abysmal the production value is, some short clips from Youtube are better than this wreck. Shoddy camera work, juvenile writing and the plastic acting will erase any glint of horror, if there's any to begin with. There's always the use of attractive females for thriller, mainly they are dressed in skimpy outfits or tank tops. Fractured has nearly all ladies cast, it's ridiculous and highly improbable. Chances are audience would not be able to take it seriously, let alone invest on the horror.Story revolves around May, a young and troubled girl. She has previously tried to commit suicide and is now in the care of Dr. Jason Ballard (Eric Roberts). Plot is hectic as the movie tries to introduce a group of equally confused young women, but their acting is incredibly and agonizingly bad. May looks really silly and rigid, her reactions are downright atrocious. At times, it's unclear if she's stammering, crying or laughing.The rest of the women are also bordering on overacting. Every girl in the kind doctor's house wear revealing outfits, even the maid and wife. It's just awkward and lacking any direction. Script is horrible as it uses melodramatic speech like teeny diary. The way they are delivered make afternoon telenovela looks like Academy Award material. Not to mention there's heavy innuendo throughout the movie, fright is the least of its goal.It also has the luxury of awful camera work. Scenes are shaky and out of focus. There's barely any suspense to speak of, the usual amateurish practical effect or random whispering cannot be considered thrill. The film attempts to use psychology as an anchor and it also gives a few twists, but these are basic at best. Audiences might be numbed by the time they reach the halfway mark, and there's more painful spectacle ahead.Fractured is a horror flick that is more humorous than frightening, if it's meant to be a horror at all.

RMTheater Lets first look at story. A complex piece that has all elements to entertain the viewer. The reason, it is layered with subplots and subtexts that keep you thinking. Secondly, the acting: yes this is an indie film - all the better. The actors maintain a nuanced and non linear performance. The leads carry the film and entertain the audience. The genre: for a psychological thriller, the difference in this one than any I have seen is that it is NOT JUST A THRILLER! This separates it from the rest. It has a romantic element. And it is well established. And it gives the film a different feel. This makes me like the film more. The ending, very ending that is, leaves you suspended to think. That makes the film INTELLIGENT. For the above, and a lover of true indie films, this film is a 8/10 for me.

nathan_kugan This movie had so much potential in it's story but the way the movie is directed and acted will make u want to punch the director and ask what was he doing. The movie started off pretty good and i was quite convinced that i might actually be watching a good psychological thriller movie but after a bout 20 minutes into it,a lot of terrible acting by a bunch of actresses started making me doubt it. And then Eric Roberts started his usual overacting that he does nowadays in the dozens of low budget movies he signs up to. I have nothing against Eric Roberts or independent/low budget film making. In fact, it makes me happy each time i stumble upon a good low budget production or a good Eric Roberts performance. This movie had none of the both. At one point it started getting ridiculous and it only got more and more ridiculous by the minute. And the lead actress,what can i say. A pretty face but no talent in acting. Her character cries a lot for most of the movie but other than that,the character does little of anything else and the actress was not doing a good job of convincing us of her emotions. If only the director understood the potential his story had and how he could have made this into a very good movie with some solid performance, my review here would have been totally different. I didn't expect Oscar quality when i started watching the movie but this wasn't what i expected too.
