Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Matthias Olof Eich said he wanted to show the rape scene as hard as possible: "I already knew on set that this scene would be violent and very disturbing so I shoot some scenes to give me the chance to cut it out. Then, after the first screening of the rough cut, everyone of the audience told me to cut out the raping, because that was the worst they ever saw and they felt uncomfortable watching it. Well at last I decided to not cut it out but cut it down from 3 minutes to 1 minute. And man, it's still hard to watch. But my goal was reached. Even the hardest 'Slasher-Fan' is getting nervous watching it."
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, the distributor was required to remove elements of nudity from a scene of sexual violence that eroticise sexual violence in a potentially harmful manner, in order to obtain an 18 classification. Cuts required in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, policy and the Video Recordings Act 1984. An uncut classification was not available.
Featured review
Not a bad little women's survivor slasher! Worth a look!
Having never heard of Break before, I didn't expect much. But in the end I found it a satisfying little movie. Four girlfriends get together for a hiking trip in the Canadian mountains and run across two sadistic redneck killers intent on ruining their day. But these women don't go down without a fight. I'm a horror buff and would be remiss not to admit this movie has some clichés and does follow the format of films like "Wrong Turn" and the like. However, you do learn to love these women quickly and especially feel the bond between Rose (Esther Maaß) and Sarah (Lili Schackert.) It takes 40 minutes for the gore to begin but that time is used wisely for character development. Once the action starts it doesn't stop and there are truly gory and sadistic moments worthy of the genre. The scenery is beautiful and the actresses gave stellar performances (particularly Maaß)and the film was over before I knew it. And I was pleased with the outcome without it being cheesy or entirely predictable. So on a boring, rainy day give this little film a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's better than most out there these days!
