Hell Nurse

Hell Nurse is that kind of movie you know is terrible, but somehow, against all logic and good taste, you love it. The plot is as simple as it is absurd: a nurse, tortured and left for dead by psychotic killers, survives, sells her soul to the devil, and embarks on a revenge spree. The story's hardly an award contender, but it's charming in its relentless commitment to not being anything other than what it is-an exploitation B-movie with a dash of dark humour.

The direction is where things get hilariously dodgy. The green-screen effects are so obvious they're almost a stylistic choice, and the set design of the old folks' home looks like it was assembled by an enthusiastic child with a glue stick and a bag of glitter. Still, there's something endearing in its earnestness, like a homemade horror movie made by people who really love the genre but don't have any idea how to pull it off.

The performances are a mix of campy overacting and awkward wooden delivery, but again, it adds to the charm. The main actress has moments of surprising competence, though she's often left floundering in the chaos.

In conclusion, Hell Nurse is a glorious disaster-a campy, bloody mess that thrives on its own incompetence. It's a B-movie lover's guilty pleasure.

What you could not dig up a Muntz TV? I thought the old console tv trope was great. I remember the Zenith plastic vacuum tube and four legged Admiral color consoles...fond memories!

I like the movie because instead of overloading a scene or act Bobby Blood scales the focus and intent of the charecters and backdrops. This movie would be great for aspiring movie makers. Like another schlock movie maker Blood got the actors to give buy into the project; that in itself helps the quality of the movie.

I hope Blood makes more movies.

I wish IMDB had more technical info on equipment used for filming...etc.

Give it a go...

I get it, they were going for a deliberately bad movie, but come on-at least make it enjoyable to watch.

It's not like that's impossible to pull off. In fact, the lower the budget, the more creative freedom you can have, but here, I see little effort beyond aiming for a level of mediocrity.

The frustrating part is that Hell Nurse actually had some good ideas and interesting elements, but they're just not executed in a way that makes them fully enjoyable. There's a sense of wasted potential that lingers throughout.

So yeah, Hell Nurse is not a movie I can recommend, do not watch it unless you desire to waste some times doing something else on the side.

Absolutely unwatchable! The acting reminded me of the first week of a junior high school play read through. No continuity to the film. The locations they shot at were.incongruous from outside to indoors. There were too many mistakes to be able to list them here. Some were small, like the call letters (WHEC) of a television station in Washington state: all stations west of the Mississippi start with "K" to all the consumable products in blue and white labeling with only the contents printed, I.e. "beer", "california wine", "kentucky whiskey" (yes, California and Kentucky were in lower case) and a can labeled "food". The mental institution and "hospital"were hilarious. From the patient rooms to the staff. The only redeeming aspects were the lecherous priest and the gratuitous blood. It's 72 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

A real treat for grindhouse fans who love to be taken back to the 70s, those visits to smokey cinemas with sticky floors and dodgy projectors.

The style is perfectly captured by director Bobby Blood.

Fiona Kennedy is excellent throughout as the nurse, she has a beautiful vulnerability on screen and is a star in the making.

I felt totally sympathetic to her cause and I think the audience as a whole did, we were rooting from her.

The baddies were great too, a real DEVIL'S REJECT vibe.

Its not just a gore fest, a proper narrative runs throughout. It wasn't predictable either, it keeps you on your toes.

There are genuinely creepy moments as well as laugh out loud moments. This was great entertainment and it wasn't trying to pretend to be anything else.

Made for just $3500 what an incredible achievement.

I cannot wait to see what the team and the Director do next.
