Broken was a fantastic album, a self-described "ultra-fast chunk of death." However, that descriptive would better describe the music video accompaniment to the EP. Due to extremely graphic content, this short collection of videos of (fake) torture, rape, sadomasochism, and murder will never see an official release, though it's been widely rumored that Trent Reznor himself leaked a DVD-quality copy on the internet.Fans of the band, or those with a morbid curiosity need only apply. The scenes are violent, often hard to watch, but like a horrible car crash on the side of the road, you can't help but look. Track it down; it's quite easy enough to find on the Internet. Just be sure not to give copies of it to your unsuspecting friends for Christmas, as one reviewer here has done. As he suggested, you may lose more friends than you'll be keeping.

Bootlegged for years and fairly easily available to anyone who should look hard for it, the infamous Broken movie holds a special place in Nine Inch Nails myth.However, that's what most of it is. Myth. Hailed as "sick" and "shocking", I would venture to say that none of these, at least to the seasoned moviegoer, are true. Instead, we are presented with a film that, aside from it's relatively innovative approach and quality film making, has no more gore and violence than your average slasher movie.Contrary to most reports, the movie is obviously a fake. Upon dissection, the filming techniques used do a good job of covering this up, but the fact remains that it is indeed a fake. The major clue to this is the poor quality of the film stock. Granted, the average viewer with a second or third generation bootleg copy will notice this less due to degradation of quality, but the fact is there. The entire film was shot on videotape which serves to mask the fact that various dummies, etc. were used. The dramatic camera angles and fast cuts cover this up as well.All in all, this is a great piece of Nine Inch Nails history and is part of a number of quality projects that never saw the light of day for one reason or another. However, one would see more shocking gore and sadism while watching Silence of the Lambs or American Psycho than the Broken movie.

What can I say it's a morbid masterpiece! Trent Reznor is one of the greatest musicians of our time and this film puts all his demented, twisted work to the fullest. To put in one word it's truly AMAZING!!!

Trent Reznor has out done himself this time! This is a very dark and demented film, but don't let that stop you! It is excellent, a must see for any Reznor fan!
