It's nearly impossible to not admire Rea's ambitious effort here and one has to marvel at how much he was able to accomplish. Go to Full Review

Nailbiter is an independent horror film through and through, one that reaches for the stars yet only gets about halfway there. Go to Full Review

Kikavelity 05/04/2023 I still don't know what's that creature the plot was fine the effects was good but still my favorite movie See more 11/01/2019 Decent movie, good plot. With a bigger budget it could have been an amazing movie. They left it open to a sequel that almost needs to be made to tell the whole story. See more 07/31/2019 Fun indie creature-feature. The filmmakers are wise and keep the creatures mostly in shadow that helps make the most of their sparse budget while also making them creepier. Good stuff. See more 06/03/2016 On paper, Nailbiter is actually pretty great. In practice though, the premise is let down by your average low-budget issues, the number one problem though, is the acting; ranging from regular-bad to laughably-bad, Nailbiter's acting calibre certainly detracts from what might have been an interesting and original horror. See more andy f 09/13/2015 Barely tolerable. It's ok while it is a straight thriller but the longer it goes on and the more it tries to be horror the worse it gets. By the end your main feeling will be relief that it's over. See more ken k 08/02/2015 This story in the hands of better film makers probably could have worked. Nothing worse than cheap effects shown briefly in quick flashes of light and choppy editing. Obviously trying to hide cheap Halloween effects to make them seem less phony. I'll bet they had some laughs in the editing room with this one. Time waster! See more Read all reviews
