I used to pick at my nails. I will NEVER do that again...

...If you're looking for something gruesome to watch this morning, (and why wouldn't you be?), writer/director Colin MacDonald's new horror short Hangnail is now on Youtube, a short which will forever make you rethink picking at yourself. 

Here's the synopsis:

"That hanging piece of skin. That painful chunk of tissue that won’t let go. You rip and tear at it, but the flesh holds on. This common nuisance turns into a grisly nightmare in 'Hangnail'."

The film stars Nicole Barron and features an original score by horror film journalist/composer Jerry Smith. 

The short was produced by MacDonald and Barron in a single night during quarantine in the couple's Nova Scotia home.

Watch it below, and prepare to feel queasy.
