Hell Nurse is that kind of movie you know is terrible, but somehow, against all logic and good taste, you love it. The plot is as simple as it is absurd: a nurse, tortured and left for dead by psychotic killers, survives, sells her soul to the devil, and embarks on a revenge spree. The story's hardly an award contender, but it's charming in its relentless commitment to not being anything other than what it is-an exploitation B-movie with a dash of dark humour.
The direction is where things get hilariously dodgy. The green-screen effects are so obvious they're almost a stylistic choice, and the set design of the old folks' home looks like it was assembled by an enthusiastic child with a glue stick and a bag of glitter. Still, there's something endearing in its earnestness, like a homemade horror movie made by people who really love the genre but don't have any idea how to pull it off.
The performances are a mix of campy overacting and awkward wooden delivery, but again, it adds to the charm. The main actress has moments of surprising competence, though she's often left floundering in the chaos.
In conclusion, Hell Nurse is a glorious disaster-a campy, bloody mess that thrives on its own incompetence. It's a B-movie lover's guilty pleasure.
