A partial synopsis for Fragile below:

"The Mercy Falls Children's Hospital is about to close its doors for good after one Century of service. But the closing process is taking longer than expected; a railroad accident has left the local hospitals without beds. It will take a few more days to transfer all the children. It will not be an easy task. Most of the personnel has left and practically all the installatins have already been dismantled.

Amy, a young nurse, is sent from London to help out. But she soon detects something odd in this place...the children are nervouse, and afraid of something intangible, invisible. Something that should not even exist, something out of pain and hatred. Some of them call it - the mechanical girl!" (Fragile).

Release Date: August 6th (DVD).

I'm glad I will finally be able to see this movie! I have had it saved on my Blockbuster que for a while now along with all of the other Fangoria movies, I've been looking forward to August 6th for some time

I'm seeing all these reviews about Fragile, but what about Grimm Love or Hunger? These look good too. All the Frightfest films are coming in a matter of days. Sept. 28th I think.

My review on Grimm Love is here:

I am not interested in Hunger, as the movie starts with thirty mins' of darkness and seems complete s&^%.

I am working on reviewing a couple more of these titles e.g The Tomb.
