    Hot nurses in danger

    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

    Bizarre and poorly organized and acted

    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.

    What better way to liven up the tired Asian ghost genre than by throwing in a bevy of very delectable nurses and some outrageous gore?

    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.

    A Fun, Bloody Horror Flick - No More, No Less

    After killing one of their own, a group of organ-stealing nurses pay the consequences. This is quite possibly the most entertaining Thai horror film ever made. The characters are hyperbolized to the point where they are intrinsically interesting to watch (not to mention the fact that all of them are gorgeous Thai girls in scantily clad nurse uniforms) and they also add an element of black humor. Even the ghost herself shatters genre clichés with her obvious sadism and enjoyment in reaping vengeance. The main attractions, however, are the spectacular death scenes that arrive during the latter half. These are highly imaginative with impressive quantities of blood, but are not very disturbing because they're so much fun to watch. The nurse named Nook is one tough bitch who won't go down without a fight, and the one-on-one duel to the death between her and the ghost is an instant classic. There are one or two scenes with poor CGI, but this is an extremely inventive horror film with frenetic pacing and excellent camera-work and lighting. This is a horror film that's meant to be fun first and foremost - and it works.

    Some other reviewers on other websites seem to gloss over the fact that the ghost in this movie is NOT the clichéd stereotype that pervades some of the Japanese and South Korean horror releases. I can tell you with 100% certainty that the ghost in Sick Nurses is instead a SATIRE of Japanese horror because she is unequivocally SADISTIC, reaping boatloads of pleasure with each and every kill. This is very different from the stereotype. The reviewers may be partially correct in pointing out that the antagonist is a woman ghost, but were completely wrong in asserting that the character is a cliché.

    Another obvious misstatement by these reviewers is that Sick Nurses is a superficial movie. Sure, it's not as magnificent as A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) or as cerebral as Kairo (2001), but it does have quirky victims and good characterization in general because each obsession is exaggerated to the point where it becomes blackly comical. I know American moviegoers are typically too stupid to pick stuff like this up (e.g., there's a very specific reason why the girl takes a shower with her clothes on), but that doesn't change the fact that it's still there to be seen and enjoyed. Not every horror movie needs incredibly annoying, drug-addicted, sex-crazed teenagers as protagonists. For most viewers of mainstream Hollywood horror this little fact may be difficult to understand, I know, but there are other people that exist in this world.

    I usually prefer horror movies that are more dense with content (nothing recent from Hollywood obviously), but this movie has all the goods for a fun evening of death and destruction if you have enough brains to pick up on the satire and hyperbolized character traits.

    4.5 Stars From Me

    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.
