prawnda s decently entertaining, some of the writing and acting were pretty good, but the ending made no sense. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Valerii Ege D Fragile is one of my golden list movies. I watched this masterpiece when I was young and couldn't forget. This year I watched it again for study purposes and realized that it was much better than I remember. The narrative still haunts me sometimes. Its structure is the reason why I become a horror movie buff. And I probably got the idea that horror movie characters should be intelligent after this brilliant thriller. This movie should be accepted as a definition of a solid horror-mystery and should study in schools. How it is directed, how they used the kids, how they created a chilling second floor, and how they didn't over-edited the film with unnecessary cuts is a lesson to all movie directors. A must-watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review sean s What a weak and crappy movie... It was slow and boring for the most part, and the plot kind of staggered here and there as it went along. You can see Calista Flockhart struggling throughout this knowing that it is a dog of a movie. Here and there, she will do overly dramatic outbursts with her coworkers to make up for the poor writing. This one is not worth the time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What the hell was up with this movie? It keeps the troupe of the only character to die onscreen (and most brutally) was the Black guy for absolutely so story reason but to galvanize the main character and then a child kisses an adult at the end (WITH NO PLOT BASIS) because a "princess must be saved with a love kiss??" It was borderline pedophilic and quite strange. It also offered so little backstory as to why the nurse was so obsessed with one patient that she fractured her bones, wore her braces, and killed herded while naked. This was rotten. The undertones were disgusting. And the shift where all of the characters suddenly indulge the main character was unfounded. Mostly well filmed and high camera quality, but don't watch this weird shit. Please Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible. Boring. And more boring. And then finally so boring that you rejoice when it is over, and then you're mad at yourself for wasting the time watching it... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I think it's a great movie! It has the ups and downs of nursing put in summary! It has action, thriller, and drama all in one!
