| Synopsis |
"NAILS" is stunningly graphic tale of the descent into madness of a lost soul. The debut film of director Andrey Iskanov ("Visions of Suffering", "Philosophy of a Knife"), this Russian horror gem takes you on a haunting journey of paranoid depravity. Set among the grey concrete apartment buildings of a rundown town in Eastern Siberia, a mentally tortured assassin for the Russian government becomes disenchanted with life as a killer. He retires to his seedy apartment and, hearing voices in his head, he decides to experiment with "trepanation". With each nail he drives into his skull, he gets ever closer to the demons that haunt him. What awaits him is pure insanity.
