Nurse

Abby Russell is a dedicated nurse, but by night she kills cheating men. Things go awry for the perfect murderer when she becomes infatuated with a one night stand.

Reminiscent of American Psycho and what could have been a more fitting sequel than American Psycho 2 it's well shot by director Doug Aarniokoski with wit and campy coolness as Abby (Paz de la Huerta) murders cheating men and obsesses over co-worker Danni played with finesse by Katrina Bowden.

Writer David Loughery successfully takes a leaf from of Single White Female. Aarniokoski embraces its B-movie trashiness yet still manages to highlight the dangers of date rape drugs and non-consensual sex and internet photos. It's not DTV material, it's filmatic and looks modestly budgeted with good production values. There's a fitting noir voice over from De la Huerta who also offers a great performance. The effects are great, there's a high body count and plenty of gruesome fun to enjoy.

Yes there's naked flesh on display but this should not to be labelled as a gratuitous lurid exploitation flick and although the title is somewhat misleading, Nurse is ridiculously compulsive, horrific and sexy from start to finish with a memorable crazy central character played excellently.

Certainly a horror worth checking out.

Paz De La Huerta (the lead actress) is known for her drunken, sexual acts in public. In this she wasn't actually acting at all and yet it was still unbelievably bad. Not sure if she was trying to sound like Marilyn Munroe or what, but she just sounded like she'd downed a bottle of booze before each take.

Plot revolves around the idea that every man is a sleaze bag, attracted to massive, fake looking pouts and over the top slutty behaviour.

Supporting characters are one dimensional, stupid and unethical within their professions.

Plenty more that bothers me about this, but oddly the thing that bothers me the most......... nurses wearing white platform shoes, stockings, garter belt and tight mini dresses on the job. It may as well have been a porn for those who get off on gore.

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

One of the worst things I have seen in a long time! The only saving grace was Katrina Bowden. I don't think I've ever said this but there was just way to much nudity, that even felt wrong typing, but it's all the movie is. It's like they knew they had a stinker so they threw in a bunch of T&A and hoped no one would notice how bad it was. Well, I noticed and I want a refund.

Paz De La Huerta CAN NOT act. It was like watching someone run their fingernails across a chalkboard. Yes, it was that bad. Save yourself some money, more importantly, save yourselves the hour and a half of your life that you'll never get back. Stay away, stay very far away.....

I so wanted to enjoy this. It could have made for a great detective storyline with them being so popular on TV these days.

Yes, there are beautiful girls and plenty of boobs and stocking tops on show for those boys going through puberty to enjoy but the blood scenes might prove a bit daunting for a 13 year old

I suppose it can be classed as a black comedy horror that even Ray Bradbury could not have thought of.

I can't remember seeing another film where a woman is wearing a bra but no knickers.

The film could have been a whole lot more but there is a moral to the story which will give disaffected husbands nightmares.

I appreciate that these are modern times and the PC gang are out in full force; so many films and TV shows these days make men out to be weak and feeble and women so strong and dominant (ok, so there are men that like that sort of thing)but surely some sort of parity is needed.

On the plus side, the end is not what you would normally predict to happen but I am sure there is no-one demanding a sequel anyway.

The film is a bit short but more than adequate enough to pleasure the desires of many of it's viewers.

This could have been a sensational detective drama. it just didn't work as a black comedy.
