Brief synopsis of Fragile

Creaking along the dank, filthy corridors, metal rods piercing her skin, down to her brittle bones, the creature the terrified children call "The Mechanical Girl" roams in the shadows. When Amy (Calista Flockhart) arrives at the remote, dilapidated Mercy falls Children's Hospital to replace a nurse who left shortly before, she finds the patients have been the victims of a number of inexplicable attacks. Amy befriends Maggie, a child who says she has been speaking to "Charlotte", a mechanical girl she believes lives on the second floor that has been closed for forty years. Whatever is happening at Mercy Falls, Amy knows the despicable figure lurking on the floor above them holds the answers.

Rated - 4 starsnice n creepy

A customer from glasgow , 21/06/2007

This is not a bad wee chiller that should have reached a wider cinema audience. Considering some of the crap and so called chiller/horror i have had to endure recently, this came as a nice surprise. Best thing Ms Flockhart has done in ages

Rated - 3 starsWorthwhile

Not so SIlent Bob from Edinburgh [Highly rated reviewer] , 27/09/2007

Okay so there are holes in the plot, it has all been done before and so on. However Flockhart is surprising good in a role that doesn't depend on her self analytic posing. Good support in the ever reliable Roxbrough and suitably atmospheric in the right places. This isn't going to make you scream but the odd jump comes in handy.

Rated - 0 starsWooden Watch it

Cal from Hampshire , 18/08/2007

Wooden acting from all the cast. Not in the least scary. Very predictable. Not even good enough to be a B movie. The most frightening aspect is that I can't remember why it was on my list!

Rated - 1 starsDreadful

phaidon1 from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 22/11/2007

No cliche left unturned here. Big old spooky building? Check. Constant rain? Check. Strange goings on that only one person believes are going on? Check? Bad acting? Check. Awful script that thinks that exposition is the same as narrative? Check. Avoid like the plague? Do yourself a favour and check.

Rated - 4 starsGenuinely quite chilling. 7/10.

Graham from UK [Highly rated reviewer] , 21/01/2008

We had sat on this movie for a few weeks before watching, you kind of have to be in the right mood for these slower moving thriller horrors and so often they just do not delivery anything of substance, rarely anything actually scary. We were pleased to find Fragile was genuinely quite chilling and equally compelling in its construction of the plot. The plot sees troubled Dr Amy (Flockhart) transferred to closing Children’s hospital with a sinister history. As the plot builds genuine tension is created and a few scares are delivered on the way. Towards the end the film it slides into the ridiculous slightly and the film loses some of its consistency and with that a little creditability, which is a bit of a shame as it had been really quite good. The acting is good throughout and I personally enjoyed the film in spite of the weaker ending, the pace is good for a film of this genre and I think would appeal to most fans of the thriller horror movie. 7/10. 4 stars.
