Long Story Short:
Danni just started working as a nurse and gets trained by Abby, who seems to be very dedicated and “together” at work, but turns into a completely different person at night. When Danni falls in one of Abby’s traps, she tries to find out more about her past, and brings her life and great danger.
Review:
There have been many great movies out about a crazy obsessive woman, for example Single White Female (1992), and also movies about a woman becoming an angel of death hunting cheating men or just men in general like maybe <em>Monster with Charlize Therone (2003), which by the way gave me nightmares. Nurse is advertised as part of the Horror or Thriller genre, which it is, but it is not meant to be as serious as the previous mentioned movies, and I am sure it does not try to compete with them.
Everyone talks about how Paz de la Huerta – the lead actress – can’t act and talks so horribly. I got the impression that the director wanted her to act the way she did, which was dull and extremely careless, she hardly had any facial expression either. Oh, and I believe she tried to keep it classy and instead of showing boobies, she walked around without panties in countless scenes. I got so used to seeing her bottomless that I was actually a little appalled whenever she showed her breasts.
Corbin Bleu and Katrina Bowden were acting decently in my opinion, and we even get to see Kathleen Turner and Niecy Nash… oh and yeah, Corbin Bleu has his first nude scene, if that was actually his butt. I need to do more squats by the way! All that was good enough for me.
Fact is, Nurse is campy, trashy, senseless, but it has a some funny moments and definitely a few decent gore effects. If you don’t expect to be scared and rather think of something like Serial Mom (1994) you might like it too.
But be warned: It does not have a deeper sense, so don’t look for it. You also get see a lot of nudity. If you don’t like that, stay away!
Rating: 5.5/10
