Sick Nurses

Don't look for a story here. To call it basic would be an understatement and an insult to any story writer. But that is probably not the reason you're watching this. You may be watching this, because of all the beautiful ladies involved or because of the blood and violence this promises and gives you. On the beautiful part, do not expect any nudity here. Whether that is something you approve of or not is up to you. What is ridiculous though: Showering fully clothed! Why even bother? Ok because the scene is supposed to frighten you, still ... Form fitting clothing yes, but that is the most you get.

Which in itself is ok in my book, but there is almost no distinction between the characters. They all seem to be one shallow person - copies of each other one might say. So if you don't care for the decent effects (for the budget), this will annoy you or even bore you

I just don't know what to think of this movie. It's made in Thailand so I have to give it some credit. The version I saw was Thai spoken with English subs. The story line is simple. A hospital are selling body parts from the dead. The doctor responsible for the act is in love with one of the nurses. But when he falls in love with her sister things go of course wrong. As stated on the cover Hostel meets The Grudge i would like to say, based on the grudge. But it is pleasant to see what they made of the movie. The strangest thing to watch is the shower scene. I guess nudity wasn't allowed because she showers with her clothes on. Some killings are gory and the red stuff flows frequently. If you are into Japanese ghost movies then I recommend this flick, otherwise don't watch it

Vengeful, female ghosts have long been a staple of the Asian horror scene, but have suffered from serious over-exposure in recent years: a glut of titles such as The Ring, The Eye and The Grudge, plus countless sequels, imitators and remakes, now means that any film featuring a dead girl crawling out of a TV, fridge, teapot, toilet, or any other household appliance for that matter, is unlikely to pique my interest.

That is, however, unless the film in question is Sick Nurses, which features a bevy of sexy Thai nurses in various states of undress (always a plus point in my book!), some enjoyably sick scenes of gore, an outrageous twist that is seriously demented, and a creepy ghost whose exaggerated appearance and sadistic supernatural antics are a delicious parody of the whole spooky ghost genre.

Admittedly, apart from the scenes in which the tasty titular nurses exercise, cavort and shower fully clothed (WTF?), the first half of the film is fairly unremarkable, with the supernatural stuff limited to the black-faced spook popping up in the background to try and scare her intended victims; but by the time the credits have rolled, viewers will have been treated to, amongst other things, gangs of hairy faced zombie nurses, a flying killer foetus, hot twins who kiss each other, forced scalpel blade munching, bodily dismemberment, a decapitation via handbag(?!?!), the birth of a fully grown person, and a surprise revelation involving a sex change operation—all of which is delightfully silly, extremely messy, and very entertaining.

7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

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.

This started off really weak for me because I felt it was being weird without developing the plot much. The bizarre-ness could've complemented a plot instead of been the central focus. It got really old. The ending was unexpected for me, though, so i'm glad I finished it.
