Killer Nurse

Another of Ulli Lommel's "real life" killer films, this one based on the killings of Charles Cullen. Most of Lommel's recent films are of the "rinse, lather, repeat" mode, where scenarios are repeated for the length of the film. Here's the cycle in this one: There is a title explaining why some patient is in the hospital. Cullen then wheels the patient into a chapel and talks to her for a while about very odd things. Then he wheels her into some locked area of the hospital and apparently kills her and then fondles the dead body while hallucinating about a nurse who is frequently topless. This is repeated several times. And then there are "explanations" and "twists" that bring us to the ending.

"Killer Nurse" has what we've come to expect from Ulli's recent work -- long, repetitive scenes with what appears to be partially improvised dialog and all the stuff you might be interested in seeing (nudity and violence) either blurred out, filmed in poor lighting, or with bizarre editing, all designed so that you can't actually see any of it. Personally, I have an odd and inexplicable affection for his films -- possibly because I find a couple of his usual actresses to be very attractive -- but it's very hard to recommend anybody spend any money on this flick.
