Director: Jaume Balaguero.
Writers: Jaume Balaguero and Jordi Galceran.
Fragile is a film from director Jaume Balaguero ([Rec] 2) that was completed in 2005 and distributed in parts of Europe by Filmax International. The film has had a bit of a struggle making its way to North American audiences, but Lightning Entertainment is now distributing the film through Blockbuster-on-demand as of August 6th. The film will have a DVD release September 28th, as part of Fangoria's 2010 Frightfest. The film stars Calista Flockhart as a night nurse in a haunted hospital where one ghost delights in the torment of tiny tots. Add in some interesting visuals and a sob story involving the torture of a long-dead yet innocent young patient and Fragile unfolds with some tension and some overly long shots of Flockhart looking distressed, or confused - hard to tell.
