Dylan White (Callum Blue) has no memory of his life prior to waking up from a coma. As such he's had to create an entirely new identity for himself, that of an average, ordinary cook in Baton Rouge. Things are normal, even boring for Dylan until he begins to experience several horrifying visions that force him to look further to discover who he actually was, even if it could kill him.
Gierasch came up with the concept of Fractured (then titled Schism) after he talked Anderson out of a potentially unpleasant plane trip, which made him feel guilty.[3] From there he wondered about the concept of guilt and redemption and "Can you change your fate, or are you damned forever once you fuck up? Can you ever truly make amends?"[3] From there Gierasch and Anderson wrote the script and planned for filming to take place in New Orleans.[3] Gierasch chose to cast Ashlynn Yennie in the film due to her role in The Human Centipede.[4] The film was given its world premiere in 2013 under the name Schism, but had to undergo a name change before it was given a further release due to the foreign sales company handling the movie.[4]

Fearnet gave a positive review for Fractured and praised one of the film's death scenes, as they found it "so dark, disturbing, and visually powerful that it allows one to overlook some rather egregiously cheap CGI gun play that pops up later on."[8] Patrick Cooper from Bloody Disgusting praised the film, writing, "a sexy blend of nightmarish horror and mystery that’s as consistently intriguing as it is disturbing. It takes a while for the film to build up steam as it piles up its clues and puzzles, but once it gets going Fractured delivers a haunting portrait of a normal guy trying to save his soul from damnation."[9]
In contrast, Shock Till You Drop and About.com both gave less positive reviews,[10] with About.com stating that the acting of the film's leads was solid but that the supporting cast was "more uneven" and that the direction was "visually bland".[11] Scott Hallam from Dread Central awarded the film a score of 2.5 out of 5, writing, "Fractured is something of a mystery, something of a horror film, but not much of either. Outstanding practical F/X save this movie and make it something at least worth giving a glace. And if not for the F/X, it’s worth it for LaLiberte’s performance. The movie has a concept that possibly could work, but ultimately falls flat. It’s not a bad effort, but it never grabs the audience outside of a couple practical F/X scenes."[12] Paul Doro from Comingsoon.net gave the film a ShockScore of 3/10, atating, "Fractured doesn’t know what kind of movie it’s trying to be. It’s got a bluesy score and appears to be trying for noir at times, but it has no sense of what type of mood that necessitates. The visions are out of a horror movie, but it never generates any suspense and is certainly never scary."[13]
