Nursie

My favourite bit of this Misery-style thriller was when C Thomas Howell was pretending to drive a car when there was clearly a static tree visible from the window of the car he was in. Naturally I braced myself for a nosebleed inducing film but somehow Nursie managed to improve greatly and didn't cause too much pain at all.

C Thomas Howell is a doctor that ends up in a car crash and ends up at what appears to be an old folks home with a deranged nurse in charge, which is kind of like Misery if you think about it. Then again, Nursie manages to hold its own and never stays still for one minute. Once C Thomas (is that what friends call him? Or do they call him C? Or does he even have friends?)anyway once C or C Thomas gets stuck in the old folks home things kind of pick up and the movie keeps moving all the way to the end, which was kind of stupid but then again most of the endings of these films are stupid, really.

Worth it for a quid! Film 2000 have this out on DVD, with trailers for films you'll never, ever want to watch

I attended the New Orleans Media Experience a couple of weeks ago. There, I attended a screening of Nursie at the Orpheum Theater. I found it very entertaining both scary and funny. The audience gasped and laughed all at the same time. I see a sequel on the horizon.

Incredible camera work and direction. It's worth seeing just for the camera tricks. I still can't figure out how they did some of that stuff and I've been in the industry for 22 years. C. Thomas Howell is back... with a vengeance.

Wow. I just finished screening the film and I really can't believe some of the things I just saw. Whoever wrote this film must have a really warped mind because the subject matter is just so perverse. Stephen King look out because here comes Maxine Jordan!!!

Saw Nursie at the strand theater. The poster said it won the Best Horror award at the NOME film festival and i can see why. It's wild. Don't know why others compare it to misery. It's not like King invented the hostage premise. This is what indie filmmaking is all about. Unpredictable, scary, but sometimes it cracked me up too. You never knew what was coming. A real 'kick'.
