Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film marks a complete departure for Ross Noble, who plays male nurse Trevor Helms in the film. Since the age of 15 he's worked as a stand-up comedian, building an extremely successful comedy career over a number of decades.
- GoofsWhen Dana looks at the hospital website, the words 'specializing' and 'pediatric' appear with the American spellings (in Ireland they would be 'specialising' and 'paediatric'). Worse, the word 'quadriplegic' is spelt 'quadraplegic', which is wrong on both sides of the Atlantic.

Featured review
Nails: Decent Irish cinema
Nails is an Irish horror that rather took me by surprise. Revolutionary? Hardly, but certainly enjoyable.
It tells the story of a woman who after getting hit by a car finds herself partially paralyzed in a hospital bed. Miserable and alone she begins to question if she's truly alone or if a supernatural entity really is stalking her.
Nails hardly brings new stuff to the table and you'll have seen the majority of it before but thankfully it's done better than most and manages to deliver on both quality and scares.
Furthermore why it took me by surprise is that I generally tend not to like British or Irish cinema, they have the habit of following formulas even more generic than Hollywood (And that's saying something).
The film manages to build an atmosphere, a great claustrophobic setting and an interesting background for our antagonist. The setting is also excellent, though it perhaps could have been explored a tad more.
Starring Ross Noble who many will know as a stand up comedian and Stitches in the movie of the same name, Nails is an enjoyable effort in a highly saturated genre.
The Good:
Great antagonist
Quite well constructed
The Bad:
Some moments of sheer stupidity
Some questionable cgi
