Unlike The Babadook or Under the Shadow, Nails fails to satisfactorily link its titular monster and its psychological dimension.

Guardian

A cheerfully derivative exercise in jump scares, dark shadows and low-budget-driven aesthetics.

Rated: 2/5

Empire Magazine

An ordinary, if effective horror picture, is predictable fare with two big ticks to its benefit: a penchant for creep-out scares involving its looming spectre; and a committed, sympathetic performance from Macdonald.

Rated: 3/5

The story is confined to one location and our main character has been rendered mute and static.

This movie was amazing. Most people said that the story line was horrible but if you actually watch and focus on the movie you will actually see how good the story truly is. It has been quite a while since I have actually got scared by a scary movie, but this one definitely scared me. The jump scares were perfectly placed along with the new information learned. In all I think this movie deserves a better reputation. This is an absolutely amazing movie, and I believe more people should watch it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

As a healthcare professional, this was too painful and cringy to watch. Poor research on their end, especially in regards to the actress on tracheostomy. Some of the actors are great though.

It's quite a short film and I can see why as they really didn't have anywhere to go with it very very unrealistic and not really scary! A bit of a ripoff from the Freddie movie also did they really think they could pull it off just from nails scratching his way down the hallway lol! not too bad acting considering the pretty bad script theyve been given! I think I could come up with a better script in my sleep 😂🤣

We have an acceptably faithful horror film here, although it sadly isn't all it could be due to the overall execution of its scares and an underdelivered final act. In saying that, the film still offers more than less. 5.5/10

This is one of that movies wich you don't expect anything but it was a really good and entertaining one. I think Shauna Macdonald was very good.
