Distribution rights for Simon Boyes and Adam Mason's Broken - a.k.a. "The Hearteater" (working title) - are being offered for sale by Crystal Sky LLC via its Renegade Pictures division. The movie had what appears to have been its world première at Dead by Dawn 2006 in Edinburgh, Scotland on April 22nd, where - as was previously reported here on ScreenAnarchy - it shared the Audience Award for Best Feature with Robert Krause's Blood Trails. It was screened at Another Hole in the Head 2006 in San Francisco, California on June 9th and 12th, and at the 2006 Fantasia Festival in Montréal, Québec on July 19th and 20th. It's scheduled to be screened at The Zone Horror FrightFest 2006 in London, England on August 27th, and at the 2006 Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas in late September.
As was previously reported here on ScreenAnarchy, the screenplay for Broken was written by Boyes and Mason. The movie stars Nadja Brand as Hope, Eric Colvin as the man, and Abbey Stirling as the schoolgirl.
Here's a synopsis for Broken that was on the now-defunct official website for the movie (which was at http://www.hearteater.com/): "Hope (Nadja Brand) and her young daughter are abducted and brought to a remote, terrifying forest by a mysterious and nameless man (Eric Colvin). As Hope is forced to undergo humiliating, violent and degrading trials she fights desperately to escape and discover the fate of her missing daughter. ¶ But the forest is an endless maze and the man is cruel and uncompromising. ¶ When the man reveals the death of Hope's daughter, she develops a plan to exact her revenge and make her escape. Sacrificing her dignity and humanity, Hope is forced to initiate a series of drastic events which send the delicate balance between captor and slave hurtling out of control. ¶ Hope's actions lead to a devastating and terrifying conclusion, and a secret so dark that it threatens to destroy Hope entirely. ¶ Will Hope escape the clutches of evil, or will she be Broken?"
