The Broken (2008)
8/10
subjective interpretation of this existential thriller
20 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Basically, when the mirrors break, demons in the form of the five come out as doppelgängers. There must have been some sort of spontaneous seance when the five individuals were at Gina's father's house. Five is the same number as the sides of a pentacle and they were seated at a round table. I believe when Gina sees her boyfriend as a demon and she sees the others around her as demons its because her aura has been punctured and her soul fragmented, allowing entities to share her body with her own etheric body or mind body. She has a demon. She is not possessed, but she is being psychologically tormented by dreams. That's whats happening even before we get to the doppelgänger drama. She also keeps being haunted by this photo of her and her father that is scribbled out in his face area. Like he's not one of the good guys either. She finds it when she goes to see her car at the tow place. The glass isn't all smashed out of the front side of her car like she imagines. Her windshield isn't shattered. It symbolizes that she is still okay. She is still in control. Gina talks to her father about what she saw with the doppelgänger, and she says: "Why would she have a photo of you?" and he responds "Maybe its not me." Well, let's just see about that. These doppelgängers are here to kill their etheric bodies and take their bodies as vessels. This is when Gina learns that her etheric body had been killed before the crash and that she had always had this demon in her. to prove it her heart is on the wrong side now. the good gina is on the wrong side of the mirror now. the bad gina just had amnesia.
