The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The acting in this movie is really good.
Lidia Draper
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Marva
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Since I saw the trailer it was clear that this movie is kind of a B- movie. Not so much when you look at the quality of cinematography, editing, stuff like that, but mostly because of the plot, the writing and the acting, which was weirdly porn-y and just uncomfortable, especially when it comes to Paz de la Huerta, who played the nurse Abby Russell. The plot actually made me think about American Psycho 2, and how I've often said that movie would be way better if you just took away all the American Psycho references. Nurse is incredibly similar to American Psycho 2, but it's hard to say if it's a good thing. On the other hand there's blood and gore, more than in American Psycho 2, but the story doesn't seem as rich.The movie was surprisingly colourful and looked really nice. Only problem is we didn't see it in 3D, which I guess is somewhat the point, so sometimes some effects look really tacky. Are they less or more tacky with 3D?Nurse is an alright horror movie. There are so many things I'd like to change about it to make it even better, though. It has potential, but doesn't reach it. Still, fun to watch at least once.

Nurse 3D revives the camp genre that is so often misunderstood, as evidenced by the negative reviews we see here. Some people just don't get it. They've written their reviews as if they expected to see a movie of high drama, pathos and some kind of serious message. That isn't this movie!On the other hand despite lots of nudity, some of it *very* graphic, Nurse 3D is hardly a sexy movie. It's a camp thriller and gore-fest that runs at a fast pace, unabashedly, self-consciously and with glee to a frantically gory ending with an intelligent twist in the closing scene. I'd say it lives up to its creators' aims admirably.

When word about this film came out, I was pretty excited. The movie poster was extremely provocative, and created an interest in the movie for me. The fact that Paz De la Huerta (From HBO's Boardwalk Empire), plays the lead character was a plus.And then, you watch it, and it's a hit and miss kind of feeling from start to finish. On the one end, Paz De la Huerta does have talent, but you wouldn't be able to tell from her acting in this movie, which is one note in every scene. She looks about the same in almost every scene, like she has anger issues and she is just waiting for that one person to set her off - and even then, its not impressive.The plot and story line are pretty good, and the other actors show more range of emotion than Paz does throughout the entire film. The narration that Paz's character, Abby Russell provides to us, feels like she went on a bender, and then takes a moment from said bender to talk about her murderous escapades. I kept thinking that she was slightly drunk at times.The Cinematography is good, and the special effects are OK. I could've done without the CGI in the movie (There's a few in certain scenes). Story wise, I really do like this film, but it needed way more polish. It's OK to watch every now and then, and it would've been a more memorable movie overall, if the acting for the main character had more emotion.It's really not that bad. Lackluster at best. I recommending watching it at least once, and then go from there.

I admit, the stylish poster caught my eye and I'm a sucker for bad horror movies so I decided to spend 90 minutes of my life watching this masterpiece. And to be honest, it could be worse. It's probably the least realistic depiction of nursing I have seen on film. I love how the nurses don't wear scrubs but instead wear what appear to be "Naughty Nurse" Halloween costumes from party city.The highlight (or lowlight) of the film is Paz de la Huerta's razzie award caliber performance as nurse-cum- serial killer Abigail Russell. She spends the entire movie sounding like someone woke her up from a drunken nap. She makes Katrina Bowden look like Meryl Streep which is really, really an accomplishment. It's clear that de la Huerta was pretty much only cast for her willingness to do laughably gratuitous pants-less scenes. The plot is of course, ridiculous. When not looking after patients, Nurse Russell (de la Huerta) goes around town looking for married men to seduce and murder. Because why not. She soon becomes obsessed with a new nurse Dani Rodgers (Katrina Bowden), roofies her, kills her step dad and basically pulls a bunch of psycho shenanigans. The plot is silly, incoherent and motivations are unclear which is expected. For a horror movie this isn't particularly scary. It is occasionally bloody and gory but any scary moments are laughable. Russell's rampage through the ICU randomly murdering patients is the most hilarious example. While this wasn't a great film by any means, it wasn't as horrible as it could have been. With the exception of Paz's performance this is really just your standard B horror movie with a dash of exploitation thrown in. It's probably great if you're into that sort of thing.
