Review of Compound Fracture (2013) by Teresa S — 09 Apr 2013

There have been a handful of independent horror films that redefine our perceptions about the horror experience. Movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Evil Dead, and The Night of the Living Dead are a few.

These films scared and thrilled us in unexpected ways and were rewarded with huge cult followings. Compound Fracture is a movie destined for the same kind of following. It doesn't use marketing gimmics like Blair Witch or Paranormal to lure its audience.

It doesn't rely on CG and lavish sets to distract us from a film's shortcomings like Prometheus. Instead it relies on solid story telling, fine acting, and just enough twists, scares and giggels to keep us scrunched down into our seats.

The biggest fault with this supernatural thriller is that it is the kind of movie you will want to watch over and over again.
