Nurse

Nurse isn't a Masterpiece for sure, but it isn't the worst movie ever. With Nurse you will have an epiphany : Paz DE la Huerta is certainly the worst actress ever. She can't talk properly, she can't make you interested in any psychological aspect of the character. You just don't believe. She is the living proof that not everyone can act, and she's doing it perfectly. And because of her, what could have been good in the movie is totally ruined. What a waste of money for producers and of time for me. It is just seems like the role was already assigned to her even before the script has been written. I'm quite sure that someone didn't know that making movie with professionals was a must in this industry. It is a pity.

A crazed nurse who spends most of the running time in a state of undress, becomes obsessed with a beautiful female co-worker, and also lures cheating men to their gruesome deaths. Sounds good right? And I ask that without an once of condescension - it does sound good. But it's not. In fact it's awful and perfectly understandable why it collected dust on the shelf for over two years before being dumped in a handful of theaters and VOD. As forgettable as the film is, there would be nothing of value here if it wasn't for Paz de la Huerta. Her line readings are mind bogglingly insane and she's clearly drunk in more than a few scenes. There doesn't seem to be much going on between her ears, except for her synapses misfiring and she comes across like a complete imbecile and/or stroke victim. Whatever her problem is, drugs, booze, low IQ - she's hilarious. There's also voice-over narration throughout the film that is supposed to be Paz, but it's clearly a different actress's voice. It just adds to the absurd nature of this film. A behind the scenes documentary that shows all and tells all, would be far more entertaining than watching the final product. Paz de la Huerta gives a legendary performance of awful.

(2013) Nurse 3-D PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR.

Co-written and directed by Douglas Aarniokoski that has veteran nurse,Abbey Russell (Paz de la Huerta) the narrator, greeting newcomer, Danni Rogers (Katrina Bowden) to the profession of nursing. Abbey is also a serial killer who loathes men, all men who cheat on their wives as she had killed at the opening. Abbey also has another objective, and that is to break up Danni with her current boyfriend, Steve (Corbin Bleu) she has known him since college. And as the movie continues, viewers know more about Abbey as soon as the hospital "All Saints" introduces the new person for human resources, Rachel Adams (Melanie Scrofano) and upon her first meeting with Abbey Russell, she initially thought she was someone she had recognized from a mental institution by the name of Sarah Price. And listening to this latest possible revelation is Danni.

After watching this, it is reminiscent of two sources, the first is "The Roommate" because Abbey becomes obsessed with having Danni as a companion despite her already having a boyfriend, who Abbey would even go to the lengths of going after Danni's cheating father-in-law, Larry (Martin Donovan) who happens to be a successful author and therapist. And the second source is "Dexter" because Abbey works at the hospital, that she could use drug inducing methods against her potential victims. My only problem is that the movie dumb down it's characters to provide the ridiculous ending that it did.

In New York, Abby Russell (Paz de la Huerta) is a nurse of the All Saints Memorial Hospital and a serial-killer of unfaithful husband after hours. When the rookie Danni (Katrina Bowden) is hired to work in the hospital, Abby is into Danni but she has a boyfriend and does not suspect of the intentions of her friend. Abby believes that if she kills Danni's stepfather, Dr. Larry Cook (Martin Donovan), she will live with her. But soon Danni suspects that Abby has murdered her stepfather and moves apart from her. When the new HR manager arrives at the hospital, she is impressed with the resemblance of Abby with a woman named Sarah Price. Danni investigates Sarah and discloses dark secrets from the past of Abby.

"Nurse" is a horror movie with one of the awfullest lead actresses that I have ever seen. Paz de la Huerta seems to have speech problem and is neither beautiful nor sexy or funny and her nudity is depressing. Douglas Aarniokoski directs the movie with heavy hand and scenes that should be funny to relief the tension do not work. Last but not the least, the story is terrible. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Since I saw the trailer it was clear that this movie is kind of a B- movie. Not so much when you look at the quality of cinematography, editing, stuff like that, but mostly because of the plot, the writing and the acting, which was weirdly porn-y and just uncomfortable, especially when it comes to Paz de la Huerta, who played the nurse Abby Russell.

The plot actually made me think about American Psycho 2, and how I've often said that movie would be way better if you just took away all the American Psycho references. Nurse is incredibly similar to American Psycho 2, but it's hard to say if it's a good thing. On the other hand there's blood and gore, more than in American Psycho 2, but the story doesn't seem as rich.

The movie was surprisingly colourful and looked really nice. Only problem is we didn't see it in 3D, which I guess is somewhat the point, so sometimes some effects look really tacky. Are they less or more tacky with 3D?

Nurse is an alright horror movie. There are so many things I'd like to change about it to make it even better, though. It has potential, but doesn't reach it. Still, fun to watch at least once.
