Review of The Unbroken (2012) by Carl M — 17 Jun 2013

A recent divorcee moves in to a new apartment complex in the hopes of starting over, but the recurring image of a little boy refuses to let her rest until the mystery behind his disappearance can be solved. THE UNBROKEN is another bland and boring ghost story that falls back on all of the same tired cliches the genre has to offer. Lead actress Aurelia Riley tries desperately to inject some energy into an otherwise lifeless production, which is brought down further by Daniel Baldwin as the film's unconvincing villain. The special effects also fail to impress, with the sparing use of cheap make-up and broken glass added for the occasional fright. If one can overcome the lengthy opening, there is at least enough action in the final act to drag the audience grudgingly through to the end. Fans of David Goyer's THE UNBORN are the only ones that are likely to enjoy this film, if they even exist.
