With three minutes, you don't have the time to say much, but Hangnail doesn't really say anything. It's essentially a one-trick pony and that trick isn't all that convincing. If you're looking for a quick body-horror squirm, I guess it succeeds there in a lo-fi way, otherwise there are much better horror shorts to be had, even at three minutes.
