Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
willkay-25306 This movie had potential to be good. A haunted hospital, a haunted history etc... Too bad the acting was awful and the storyline was kinda just meandering
misscath-54378 This movie had some scary parts but all throughout it I was wondering why Nails was targeting this woman. It was explained close to the end. Without giving anything away, the premise was kind of thin. It did have a claustrophobic element to many scenes which I liked. Not the best horror I've seen, but not the worst.
Lee love I love the idea of this film than the actual film I think...the storyline is what drew me in, there could of been so much more to it than this but it just fell short. Shauna Macdonald was great, one of the reasons I watched this as I thought she did good in The Descent so her acting was definitely a plus.
However, the plot. Straight foreword to the point, only I didn't really dig it. I think it could of went much deeper... It was very predictable. I was completely confused by Nails motives. Why? What's the point is this? Unfinished business? She's the one who got away? Reallllly? That's just so... boring.
Of course in every horror film there's always the annoying little tidbits that make me wanna groan in frustration. Example; the daughter wandering off on her own, poking her nose into peoples hospital room? Erm I guess that's allowed right?
Of course there's other parts but I don't want to bore you with them details...
It was creepy. I jumped. A dark atmosphere. All the right lighting, noises, jump scares and deaths, frightening ghost so if you looking for just one of them daft B movie films to give you the heebie jeebies before bed then this is the film for you, just don't go in with high expectations...
Flow I think Nails is about 70% complete while the rest was just air pockets. Can't believe it managed to create the genuine horror atmosphere like it supposed to, without delivering a proper finale. It's like the movie decided to hang itself instead of going all the way. It was on the right track!It's not your usual standard haunting, those come with a good ending. The more of today haunting movie always seem to have a twist. Another character involved, one that stood low for so long and now his crimes are being resurfaced. Nails is a pretty much straight forward production, with plenty of black outs, some attempts at jump scares and a better character development than most. Dialogue is OK, camera works nicely but the script was surely enough incomplete. Just some details missing, but important links that would have offered a proper flow to the movie and would have better connected the viewer to it.Similar movie, as in one that almost impressed but barely missed the mark sadly, is The Haunting of Helena. If you liked this one be sure to check that one too.Cheers!
