Frágiles [Fragile] (2005)

(In French, On Cable TV, March 2022) There’s not a whole lot worth commenting in hospital-set ghost story Frágiles—aside from seeing Calista Flockhart in an uncharacteristic genre role as a nurse discovering her run-down hospital’s dark past. (It remains, as of 2022, the last film in once-famous Flockhart’s filmography.)  Much of the story runs along familiar lines for a ghost story—a terrible curse, then the power of love conquering everything. It’s watchable without being particularly memorable, with even the promising setting being underused for effect. Much of Frágiles feels on autopilot, and the ending, while more heart-warming than other films in a similar genre, is underwhelming as well. See it if you must, but while it’s better than many other horror films, there are plenty of better picks out there.
