Nails

It's been a while since I've sat down to watch an actual scary movie and maybe that's why Nails scared me the way it did. The storyline itself was a little slow but was amazing and did make sense, as did the ending... unlike the usual cliffhanger that horror movies let you interpret. I was even tempted to turn it off and finish it another time because it got so late, nonetheless I was terrified by the ending.

Ending ruined the whole movie!!!! Ending ruined the whole movie!!!! Ending ruined the whole movie!!!!

A heavily injured woman? Really? What's next: a horror film about a paraplegic being tortured on a rack by 17th-century Inquisition? Don't these sadistic morons have no boundaries anymore? Evidently not. A moody ghost story but with some rather dumb scenes and an idiotic finale. Firstly, Dana's daughter wanders around a hospital, going into rooms, as if she was a dumb 10 year-old. Secondly, Dana actually believes that the person smashing on the wall - so hard that it visibly shakes - is an old lady tied to a bed. Even Conan the Barbarian couldn't pound on a wall that hard. Thirdly, Trevor the male nurse sees the cupboard shake and his reaction is to... hit it with a baseball bat? Fourthly, Trevor sees himself and the killer ghost on his laptop yet he just sits there, as if watching the Eurovision Song Contest or something. Then there is that slightly nonsensical husband-cheats-on-wife stuff that's kind of unnecessary. The problem with the plot itself is that it's stuck in a rut for a while. Dana is attacked. Dana complains about menace. Hardly anyone believes Dana. She is attacked again. She complains. Key personnel don't believe her. Repeat. The finale is what really ruins the movie, or whatever was good about it. Nails, the killer, somehow becomes visible to everyone else too. Why? How? Dana then offers herself to Nails in what is a rather idiotic and bonehead move. We get the pleasure of watching an invalid woman get thrown around and smashed against walls. Thanks, movie! Thank, sadistic degenerates without a moral compass! Who writes this crap? Little children? Little psycho kids, I mean. Little deranged, moronic, psychotic kids. This kind of plot suffices for a half-hour episode of "Tales of Terror", or whatever. It's difficult to stretch to 90 minutes.
