Nursie

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

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!!!

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.
