This film is worth a go, especially at 75 minutes. I enjoyed it but would have done the final scene differently. It needed a little more vengeance.
At least in my opinion, because if you take in consideration its budget, actors, location, all that was necessary to build it, I think Fracture came out just great!
Simple yet effective, a situation where less is more, without over stretching, without relying on gore or torture porn, a simple invasion horror movie that delivers on its premise. Good use of mystery, managed to keep me intrigued from start to finish and I have to say, I wish more such productions would take in consideration to keep it as natural as they can without going to great lengths to show either bad CGI or a terrible conclusion.
Fracture is a lovely little indie movie! Recommended!
Cheers!

We enjoyed this thriller or mystery. Acting was good although the characters seemed a bit over the top, we still liked it. Definitely makes you think twice about helping out strangers. Well done!

I was advised to watch something called Fractured starring Sam Worthington, but I watched the wrong movie, and stumbled on this by mistake.
I do not like horror movies, so I would not usually have chose to watch this, but I enjoyed it a great deal.
It's very low budget, there are only 6 people in the cast and none of them are particularly well known (unless you watch your UK soaps) I only knew Louise Lytton from Eastenders.
It is creepy, the acting is good, has a good sense of atmosphere and moves at a decent pace, but what makes this movie for me was a twist in the middle of the movie, that A, I did not see coming and B, totally turned the movie on its head.
If you like your creepy horror movies and love a good twist, then check this out.

What a clever little story. I was not expecting much and based on the fact that the credits comprises of five people, it feels like I found a little gem

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.

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.

Nice idea, played out reasonably well. So i think worth a watch for anyone that thinks the premise sounds good.
the biggest downside is that the movie is made up of two halfs, when i think really as soon as you see the first 2 minutes of the second half you think, 'Ok i get it'.. but then you have to watch the best part of an hour what you got in the first 2 minutes play out in front of you.
worth a watch though

NEVER again will I trust reviewers on IMBD, This film is absolute dross! The premise is laughable, the execution insulting to anyone with a modicum of intelligence and the acting......all aforementioned. If films like this can get rated 8's & 9's then films like this will continue to plague us. I shall NEVER watch a film again with ANYONE connected to this, in it.

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!

I liked the dialogue between the couple to me it came across quite well. Natural banter you might have between a couple. I only mention this because a few people have said the couple did not seem connected? I have never seen the actors in anything else like others have so i suppose that helped. I also did not need to know the back story or motives for why people do the things they do...sometimes people just are the way they are and it did not really need explaining. I enjoyed this film it is not going to blow your mind but is worth a watch a nice little indie thriller.

This was actually a pretty good movie. It was unique, and I really liked the whole twist. It's worth a watch

It's going to be an hour and a half of hapless victims tiptoeing around a spooky house. But halfway in it suddenly starts getting much more interesting.
It tries too hard to be clever by showing things in a non linear timeline. For the first 40 minutes or so, we see nothing but a couple of boring, unlikable people heading to a house in the woods and bickering.
From the get go, you feel that these two people are weird and not normal. In fact I hated them long before the reveal came to show who and what they actually were. At the 40 minute mark is where things pick up....but only a bit though.
Bad things happen (I won't spoil)---and then we go back to the beginning and the film replays the first 40 minutes from a different viewer perspective. It should work, but it doesn't at all and fell with a huge thud for me.
I love both horror and revenge stories, but this was shown in a way that tries too hard to be clever with the non linear telling of the story. Had it been told in a linear way though, it still would be just 3 stars for me because in the end...there's just no point or motive for what happens.
It's thankfully short at 1 hour and 18 minutes, but man those first 40 minutes feel like twice the length because it's so boring. I don't know why i'm even giving this 3 stars---probably because I managed to sit through it to the end lol. I don't recommend this one.

It was a good movie until the end. I wanted to drop kick the girl for being so damn careless!! She was acting such a bad ass through the last twenty minutes of the damn movie until the end. I've never been so mad screaming at the TV. There was not enough suffering to justify what happened! I'm still mad.

Both my wife and I enjoyed this film the 2nd half of the movie explained the first half and the movie was good enough to keep us both interested.
We both agreed on a 6/10 for this mystery/thriller.

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".

While not the most original plot, I found this to be a entertaining movie. When the plot flips and you begin to put the pieces together is when the movie comes to life. I think it smart choice that put a fresh twist on the story.

I'll admit, I barely made it halfway through so maybe it gets better after that... But at least as far as I got to watch I was bored out of my freaking mind.
