Nailed

I saw this movie because one of the actresses in it was a friend from high school. I was excited to see it for this very reason. I must say I was happy to see her in the movie, but this was an excruciating film to sit through. I felt like the person responsible for this film's creation was simply trying to put out a movie for the sake of putting out a movie. Very poor in just about every aspect I could think of. Boring and mundane. I can't imagine producing something like this. Any credibility I might have had as a film maker would be flushed right down the commode. I can't believe a product like this would even make it to the shelves of a movie store. Honestly, my kids could probably produce something more entertaining with their camcorder. Unbelievably painful to watch. Please watch paint dry. You will feel you spent your time more productively than if you watch this film. I am embarrassed to admit I watched it from beginning to end.

This was one of the worst movies i have ever seen. To even call this a horror move is totally wrong, it isn't scary at all,It brings nothing new to the table. A complete waste off time.

Im against fast-forwarding movies but in this case its necessary. And i read somewhere that this would not be a low budget movie .Bah! The acting is really bad.

So a big warning. Don't watch this.

There are so much better horror-movies out there,in the genre that they are trying to be part of. For instance Ringu,A tale of two sisters,1408 and the saw movies.

Uwe Boll could have made this movie.... Enough said

I saw 'Nailed' at the Westwood Film Festival last month and was blown away! It is a MUST SEE! From beginning to end, 'Nailed' keeps you engaged and guessing. This is not your typical horror flick...it doesn't bombard you with a lot of superfluous blood and guts, but it's so creepy, that I watched a few scenes through my fingers. It was apparent to me that this film was a labor of love; the writing was believable and the acting superb! Sam Sarpong gives a stand out performance as Scott Scott, he's subtle--you won't catch him acting in this film. The cinematography is excellent, with surprising angles and a certain grittiness that compliments the story. I give 'Nailed' two thumbs up!

I really wonder about a lot of the comments here. Either people are trying to sell a movie as the best, give 10 stars and praise it or they call it "worst movie ever" (theres plenty here, hehe!). Hardly anyone goes for the average points. In this case its the same... This movie is hardly crap as its hardly great but I think the team made a good effort for a underground movie which still has some flaws. First of all its bad advertisement of course... once again the whole packaging and titling for "Nailed" looks like the "Saw"/"Hostel" thing. But it sure is not... honestly I wouldn't even call this movie a horror movie. Until the first horror elements come up most fans of the genre will have yawned because of lack of gore or cheap thrills. But if you don't categorize the movie like this its a decent movie with slow pacing (comments are right that the pacing and buildup of the chill are way exaggerated. "Nailed" revolves around 2 black guys from the hood who manage a drug-deal for a local crook. It starts with a long scene in a strip-bar with loads of gangsta talk, then moves on to some police shooting and chase scenes until the two end up in a abandoned house for hideout. Like you expect the place is not that abandoned at all and they soon find a bandaged man lying mumbling in his bed and his strange smiling male nurse. From here on the thing is focusing very long on the 3 characters, mixing in some strange voodoo elements and flashbacks which lead to the final twist. Since "Nailed" barely has any violence or gore in it and even the subject giving the movie its title is hardly shown it relies on the acting. And in this case I think "Nailed" does a very good job. The actors are all very believable and subtle... the only thing that comes across rather amateurish are the police shootouts. First of all because of the acting and secondly because the guns in this movie sound like a popping champagne bottle. Beside this its all real well done. "Nailed" definitely has too little story to offer for a feature movie and some parts don't seem to fit tight (in the second half I can't see the meaning of the extended first half and many dialogs there). Anyway I had fun watching the movie because the atmosphere is nice and a lot different from most of those copycat horror movies these days and there sure are some nice ideas in the script which should have been fused together a little better. So if you are into slow paced "horror" movies with a little different vibe and rather atmospheric approach you should give "Nailed" a try. Its sure not a 9 star movie but its far from the unfair "junk" remarks and Uwe Boll is a ridiculous comparison by all means. So come on, at least try to be fair.

I saw this movie @ the Beloit International Film Festival last night... it was a complete waste of my time. I fell asleep during the first half and wish i had stayed asleep until the end. The whole audience was restlessly yawning and moving around in their seats, praying for it to end. Thank god i was buzzed from the beer i drank during the previous film. Towards the end, a few of us with good senses of humor actually started giggling out loud @ how ridiculous the horror scenes were. The acting was horrible and the scenes and dialogue were repetitive. This movie was boring and unoriginal. It should be labeled a comedy. OK, i need one more line in order to post this.
