Sick Nurses

You won't find anything original in the film. It is in the same vein as films like The Grudge and The Eye. If you like those, you are likely to like this one also.

A doctor and a group of nurse are selling bodies on the black market. The doctor is also screwing all the nurses. One is expecting to marry him and her own sister turns up pregnant by him. She threatens to revel the illegal activities as payback, but the rest of the nurses get to her first.

Now, seven days later she returns from the dead to exact her revenge. At first it wasn't particularly bad, but it kept getting worse as the victims went on. At least one was very gruesome, and a little bizarre. There was copious amounts of blood spilled. Horror fans will like that.

The nurses were very attractive, but don't expect to see anything but form fitting clothing. They even shower with all their clothes on, if you can believe that! A little too much screaming for me, but fans of Asian horror will find it interesting.

This film is difficult to review. The story just wasn't much of a story but it could've been better if the script had received more attention. It has been filmed well and it moves at a nice pace. The actors were just so-so in my opinion. The horror had its moments and were poetical in some ways but the blood looked more like fruit punch because the consistency was off. I think that this is gonna be hit and miss for a lot of folks.

This is a film that wallows and writhes in ecstatic abandon with the pure joy of being a B-Movie. I'm sure it never pretends to be anything else, and as such should be rated in those terms. Maybe as a 'film' it deserves its IMDb rating of 4.3, but as an exploitation/horror flick it would have to rate a solid 7.5. For those who enjoy the genre, you should find much to love.

The basic premise is this ... get a bunch of babes in form-fitting nurse costumes, point the camera at them a lot while they're walking away, introduce the obligatory Asian hair ghost, and sprinkle liberally with copious amounts of blood and creative death sequences.

Yeah its got a story, but who cares. Read one of the other reviews if that concerns you.

Fans of Asian horror will no doubt find it somewhat derivative - this is a 2007 film using the whole hair-ghost angle that was already tired and overdone in 2005. Connoisseurs will also recognise a famous scene lifted from Takashi Miike's Gozu, but in the spirit of Tarantino lets call it 'an homage'. In any case, it really doesn't matter - the film is too much fun to get hung up on critical technicalities. Crack open a beer and enjoy the show!

I was really disappointed with this movie. It was not scary. It was not gory. It was not sexy. The shower scene was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen in a movie. But that scene also defines what was wrong with the movie. If you are going to do something, commit to it. If you aren't going to have a naked girl showering, don't bother having her go into the shower. If you are going to have a movie called "Sick" Nurses, then be sick. The gore scenes copped-out, they pulled away before it got really bad or showed reactions and not the act itself. The body harvesting and the source of the ghost powers are poorly defined. The movie just doesn't do enough or go far enough to be worth watching.

I wasn't really expecting the humor and self-mocking way 'Sick Nurses' presents its material. I was expecting a more serious outing. This ain't Shakespeare! Don't come here for a deep, intricate story. This is a fun, light on plot flick with some creative death. The film gives each woman a bit of screen time, enough to learn her compulsion. And the women, of course are all young and attractive, mucking about in form fitting nurse uniforms. The film takes place inside a patient-less hospital with a disproportionate staff of nurses that seem to live on the premise. They spend their time kissing and giggling, trying on paper earrings, exercising and vomiting. You know, all the things us women do when we are alone. The characterizations are exaggerations of female behavior and the personalities are way over-the-top. There are a few humorous and self-mocking scenes between the various women I found entertaining, but at the same time, had me looking forward to their death. The ghost is the stereotypical long black haired ghost but has been given a comically sadistic attitude and takes great pleasure watching her victims die. The first half of this film is set-up and background, but the second half is all about the death. The wonderfully wicked and wacky way the gals die is definitely the highlight of this film. That poor bulimic girl! You can use your imagination on how she will die, but you would be unlikely to see this coming. I don't want to spoil all the fun, but each death is practically an art project. The effects are generally decent, although there is some unnecessary use of CGI that looked pretty damn cheesy. It may be light on plot but you can't deny 'Sick Nurses' its craftiness. 'Sick Nurses' is a silly, cheeky little film. Throw in some creatively nasty death scenes where the revenge is based on each woman's vice and you've got yourself a tasty Thai treat. Recommended.
