The premise

The life of a successful radiologist spirals out of control when she sees the spitting image of herself driving down a London street. While attempting to uncover who the imposter could be, she stumbles into a terrifying mystery that her family and closest friends are somehow involved in, leaving her with no one to trust.

Horror Vault's take

When a radiologist catches a glimpse of her exact double navigating the streets of London, her carefully ordered life begins to unravel at the seams. The pursuit of answers draws her into a labyrinthine mystery where the people she loves most seem inexplicably changed — or perhaps she is. Rooted in dread rather than spectacle, The Broken is a slow-burn psychological chiller that weaponises the mundane, turning mirrors, photographs, and familiar faces into sources of creeping terror.
