FANGORIA’s FrightFest (see previous item here and go to www.fangoriafrightfest.com for more details) is nearing its summer debut, and one of the films yearning for your votes to win a theatrical release in the on-line sweepstakes is the chilling ghost story FRAGILE (see exclusive DVD art below the jump), directed by acclaimed Spanish helmer Jaume Balagueró ([REC] movies, DARKNESS, THE NAMELESS).

Special features on the FRAGILE DVD, out August 6, will include a behind-the-scenes featurette, a look at the creation of the film’s visual FX and the 8 FANGORIA FrightFest trailers.

Set and filmed on Britain’s Isle of Wight, the award-winning FRAGILE takes place in a children’s hospital that has been the scene of a railroad accident and is due to shut down after nearly a century of service. Calista Flockhart, from TV’s BROTHERS & SISTERS and ALLY MCBEAL, stars as Amy, an American nurse who is sent over from London to help out, and discovers that the eight kids who still reside there believe something invisible—and menacing—is haunting the premises. Richard Roxburgh and Spanish actress Elena Anaya, both previously seen in VAN HELSING, co-star.

To vote for FRAGILE’s theatrical release (and automatically be entered to win a trip to Las Vegas and a free three-year FANGORIA subscription!), visit the Frightfest site linked above between June 21 and July 19 and view/rate the trailers and other video features on all eight Fango movies. Your vote could secure FRAGILE a big-screen berth this July! The entire film series will also be previewed in a 30-minute special, 8 FANGORIA FRIGHTS (available free on Time Warner, Comcast, Cablevision, Verizon FIOS and other cable systems; check with your provider), hosted by CABIN FEVER star Cerina Vincent and featuring interviews with many of the eight films’ directors, clips and featurettes. 8 FANGORIA FRIGHTS will be available continuously beginning June 21 and can be found by accessing your On Demand menu.

Check out FANGORIA #295, on sale next month, for a Balagueró interview. And stop by this site Tuesday, June 4 for FRAGILE’s trailer debut.
