(Nyû Serekuto K.K.) is scheduled to release the movie on sale DVD (NSTD-0391S; NTSC, region 2, in English) in Japan on July 6th, under the title “Jigsaw—Dead or Alive” ("Jigsaw—Deddo oa Araibu"); the DVD is being distributed by Albatros K.K. (Arubatorosu K.K.), and is available for pre-order from Twitch affiliate YesAsia.com (Hong Kong) Ltd.. Weinstein Company LLC is tentatively scheduled to release the movie on DVD in the U.S.—in both R-rated and unrated versions—on September 25th, under its Dimension Extreme label; the DVDs are to be distributed by Genius Products LLC (which is jointly owned by Weinstein Company LLC and Genius Products Inc.). The movie had its world première at Dead by Dawn in Edinburgh, Scotland on April 22nd of last year, where—as was previously reported here on Twitch—it shared the Audience Award for Best Feature with Robert Krause’s Blood Trails.
The screenplay for Broken was written by Mason and Boyes. 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 original official website for the movie: “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?”
