Nurse 3-D

The movie is about bare asses.. or something like that. Announced as an erotic thriller beforehand it doesn't really deliver. I mean look at the current teaser poster, I expected some bloody thrill ride about revenge which it isn't really. Instead it is one hell of a messy story. The revenge gets put aside quickly for her obsession over a new nurse which she wants to mentor (as crazies) but ultimatley gets rejected from. If they went with just the revenge theme it would have been more enjoyable because having Paz de la Huerta acting, dressing and walking around like a slut (gosh those fat lipps are creepy not sexy) all day makes her such a comic character that it's unbelivable that others would interact with her the way they do. You just can't have a serious story with something like that. There is also the common understanding that fucking at work is a normal thing to do it seems and a more racist version of Laverne from Scrubs also has some random scenes. The 3D doesn't add anything to the movie either. From what I read in an inverview with the director all I can say is that I hate fucking bullshit marketing statements. Beliving nudity and some blood make for an edgy movie is rather naive. The release of the movie has been delayed multiple times and according to our presentator (who apparently works for the company that has the distribution rights here) the movie was previously only screened in private at Cannes to the buyers and probably won't make it to another screen anytime soon as they have problems clearing the film. Maybe sometime down the road this will be put out. It's not like you're missing out on much.

While a little derivative and cheesy, Nurse 3D sort of works in a B-movie kind of way. The story follows a hospital nurse named Abby Russell who kills philandering men on the side, but when she becomes obsessed with one of the nurses in training she starts to get reckless. The performances are deliciously awful and really help to amp up the camp factor. Additionally, a lot of the CGI blood effects look quite fake (especially the ones meant for 3D). However, there’s a nice bit of mystery and intrigue to the character of Abby Russell, and whether or not she’ll get caught. Ghoulishly entertaining, Nurse 3D is a pretty formulaic horror film that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
