Nursie

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!!!

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

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.

I went to see the movie, "Nursie" and was so surprised by the acting. I wondered who the Nurse was because I wasn't paying attention at first to the names and then when I saw the credits, it was the same woman who was in "North Dallas 40" and "Long Riders" a long time ago. I've always liked C. Thomas Howell but this time he seemed so grown up and deep. It was really scary. Not like other movies scary with tons of blood and constant slicing of peoples heads off but slower Southern like scary. The women in the nursing home, Twilight Gardens, were were really weird and feeble and sickly and Nursie was pretty twisted. Her niece, Mary Claire was so pretty. I wanted her to get what she wanted. I don't want to say what it is because I don't want to give anything away. I love movies shot in the South because they're so cloudy and steamy and dreamy and scary and complicated. Like the doctor tied to the bed in the attic that Nursie's brother feeds supper to.

I liked the colors. They were bold and whoever directed it must have known what he was doing for a long time because each scene led to the next. There wasn't any fat in the movie. And the song at the end was really beautiful. Spooky but in a way elegant. I'm waiting for "Nursie's Back".

I was visiting a friend in Los Angeles and saw this movie in his DVD collection. I had never heard of it. I popped it in late one night. I'm here to tell you, it's a great little character piece. You can't help but like Nursie even though she's terrible and you hate her. The acting in this movie is excellent. It's one of those movies where although it's scary, you have to laugh many times. I gave it to a friend and her kids loved it. Nursie is a character you have to feel sorry for yet you want her taken out.

My favorite parts are the ones which show just how sick Nursie is. A pathetic aging woman looking for love and thinking she can force someone to love her. Nursie goes in and out of sanity. A very sick movie.
