| Film Ireland MagazineStephen PorzioEven when the movie unveils its ghost's backstory and loses some of its intrigue - Macdonald's sterling work, the fun characters and the interesting slant on a well-worn genre keep Nails interesting. |
| Radio TimesTerry StauntonSinister goings-on in a run-down Irish hospital deliver the scares in this solid if unsurprising horror. |
| EmpireKim NewmanAn 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. |
| Total FilmMatt GlasbyDennis Bartok’s sparse horror has a spooky central conceit, and just about overcomes its budgetary bumps, while Macdonald excels as the innocent. |
| StarburstScott ClarkAltogether it's a simple, but relatively satisfying, horror film. |
| Otroscines.comEzequiel BoettiA monster that generates anything but fear. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Aine O'ConnorThe actual spooky stuff provides a few jumps, the performances are good but overall the story is too thin, and that dilutes the impact. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyThe shame of it is, Nails could also function as an all-too-timely parable about women not being listened to when reporting assault, but it's buried within a deeply stooopid movie. |
| The GuardianLeslie FelperinWith its creepy music and only-just-adequate performances, this will serve nicely at future slumber parties for thrill-seeking tweens. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesThe story is confined to one location and our main character has been rendered mute and static. |
