Featured reviews
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

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'.
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!!!
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 caught this at a screening at the media experience in new orleans back in october. I did not know the movie was filmed on dv until the producers said it. This movie is very similiar to misery a film done many years back by reiner except he did it better. misery was based on the book by stephen king. this movie doesn't even come close to the nerve-racking nature and intensity of misery. NURSIE is cliched and downright dumb at many times. rhere is better dialogue in disney's CAT IN THE HAT. Hopefully we will be spared from a NURSIE II. NURSIE leaves it open for a sequel. Not all of this movie was bad. There is great cinematography and direction for a dv movie. The performances was good too. 3/10
