Experiencing increasingly agonizing headaches and frightening voices, an unnamed hitman turns to the only relief he hasn’t tried: hammering nine inch nails straight into his skull. His fresh trepanation colorizes his black and white Siberian world, causing vivid hallucinations – as well as torturous, waking nightmares. Fighting tooth and nail for his sanity, our hero soon learns that the only way out of Hell is through.

Iskanov’s directorial debut and the first in the HalluCinoGeNnN series, NAILS is one tight-n-tense cerebral hellride. THE MATRIX for edgy self-surgery enthusiasts or TETSUO THE IRON MAN with a lobotomy.
