shannen-l-c How movies like this continue to be released is a mystery to me. Think of every predictable and boring horror trope you know, throw in some sub-par acting, bland and unlikeable characters and you've got Nails. A few minutes into the movie I sensed it wasn't going to blow me away but somehow it still managed to fall way below my expectations. The main character, an athletic coach, mother of one and wife has just been left paralysed and with devastating consequences following a car accident, but despite all that it was impossible to sympathise with her. And she wasn't even the worst of the bunch. Trevor, the nurse/handyman (and apparently the ONLY nurse in the entire hospital) was equally one dimensional and bland, her husband was a cheating scum bag that only further subtracted from the appeal of the movie and the villain was just another creepy faced ghoul that for is hell-bent on murdering an innocent woman based on the fact that he had an abusive childhood. The plot is non-existent as is the build-up, there's no mystery or anything that is even remotely engaging to the audience, and by the end of the movie you're just left feeling you've wasted an hour and a half of your life. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because surprisingly, I have seen worse. Nonetheless, if you're looking for a decent horror movie or a good scare, steer well clear of this movie.

billyhalim-63872 I think Dana should die in the movie because the movie stated that when she was 5 years old, she was cured in the hospital and Nails killed 5 girls. Dana should be one of those girls.

terrencepatrix For your run of the mill horror fan this is worth a watch. It ticks off all the boxes of your typical haunt story. The story takes place entirely within an oldish hospital after our protagonist is hit by a car while out for a jog and paralyzed. She soon starts to sense that someone, or something, is watching her. The story has a good pace, it's shot well, the acting and dialogue are fine as are the limited special effects. It's worth a watch on a boring night in the dark but there's nothing original about it so don't expect it to knock your socks off.

gil-191-414728 Not a turd, but could be better. The story was pretty original and the acting, for the most part, was good. I really like Shauna Macdonald and thought she did a really great job with her role even though the medical circumstances weren't really believable from the stand point of the equipment they used. Had they been, her delivery would have been much more powerful. They really could've used a medical consultant for accuracy, but I can forgive that.Some holes in the plot concerning "Nails" past and how he came to be trusted in the hospital after they found him to be psychologically disturbed. I wish they had taken the time to polish the plot as there wasn't really a resolution in the end. At any rate, it was worth a watch but I felt it could have been a lot better. I'm sure other reviewers will not be as kind, but I'm trying to concentrate on what was there rather than what wasn't.
