HANGNAIL

About This Movie

HANGNAIL dives into the chaotic life of young Erin, who's lured by the glitzy facade of her cousin Blair's world. The film takes its time, crafting a slow burn that immerses you in the atmosphere—think hazy nights filled with loud music and the faint glow of neon lights. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid, and it really lets you feel Erin’s disorientation and naive excitement. Performances are raw, with a noticeable tension that reflects the allure and danger of such a lifestyle. The practical effects are subtle but effective, enhancing the film's unsettling moments. It doesn’t shy away from the harsh truths lurking beneath the surface of glamor, and that makes it distinctive in its portrayal of youthful recklessness.
