Jaume Balagueró’s _Fragile_ is a more than competent horror film with the requisite elements: a creaky children’s hospital with a boarded-up second floor, ailing children who see things, and the tough heroine with the fragile exterior. The said protagonist happens to be Calista Flockhart minus the short skirts, and she plays the replacement night nurse - her predecessor got spooked and left - who then witnesses what the kids repeatedly warned her about. Fairly gripping and atmospheric all in all, though marred by an ending that seemed too much of a Street Fighter-like showdown.

Non-Hollywood scary flick that’ll keep you on your toes. Recommended.
