Fractured (film)
Fractured originally known as Schism is a 2013 horror thriller film that was directed by Adam Gierasch, based on a script by Gierasch and his writing partner Jace Anderson. The film had its world premiere on October 12, 2013 at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival. It stars Callum Blue as an amnesiac trying to discover what exactly happened to him.
Gierasch came up with the concept of Fractured then titled Schism after he talked Anderson out of a potentially unpleasant plane trip, which made him feel guilty. From there he wondered about the concept of guilt and redemption and Can you change your fate, or are you damned forever once you fuck up? Can you ever truly make amends? From there Gierasch and Anderson wrote the script and planned for filming to take place in New Orleans. Gierasch chose to cast Ashlynn Yennie in the film due to her role in The Human Centipede. The film was given its world premiere in 2013 under the name Schism, but had to undergo a name change before it was given a further release due to the foreign sales company handling the movie.Fearnet gave a positive review for Fractured and praised one of the films death scenes, as they found it so dark, disturbing, and visually powerful that it allows one to overlook some rather egregiously cheap CGI gun play that pops up later on. In contrast, Shock Till You Drop and About.com both gave less positive reviews, with About.com stating that the acting of the films leads was solid but that the supporting cast was more uneven and that the direction was visually bland. ........
